There's a lot of people on GameFAQs who are older than 35 or so. And a fair number of us have always been here on PotD.

Wait, what?

I'm a millennial? I thought millennials were those born around 2000 or at least at the start of that millennium, not us 80/90's kids...

To be fair, most of the generation classifications are kind of bullshit anyway, since there really isn't an official standard of measure for when one definitively ends and another begins. Add to that the fact that, in recent times, the various cultural generation gaps shift a hell of a lot faster than every 30 years or so (the older standard of measure), and you've basically got people with radically different world-views all getting lumped into the same demographic.

Realistically, I've always tended to separate original flavor "Gen Y" and the newer "Millennials" term into two separate groups, with the Gen Y kids being the ones born in the late 70s/early 80s and the Millennials being the ones born in the late 80s/early 90s. Though at this point, the usual Internet shorthand of "80s kids" and "90s kids" is probably just as good a dividing line.
