Millennials. Lots of talk these past few weeks about "millennials." Time to re-look at the "definitions. From an earlier post:

I had forgotten the "definition" of "Generation Z" but vaguely recalled blogging about it:

Definitions:

• iGen, generation Z, centennials: 1998 -- 

• oldest iGen: 1998 - 2005 (my thoughts -- teens in 2017)
• middle iGen: 2006 - 2011 (my thoughts -- middle schoolers in 2017)
• younger iGen: 2012 - (my thoughts -- toddlers in 2017)

• younger millennials (part of generation Y, children of baby boomers): 1992 - 1997 (in 2017: 20 - 25)
• older millennials (part of generation Y, children of baby boomers): 1983 - 1991 (in 2017:  26 - 34)
• generation X: 1965 - 1982 (no precise dates, late baby boomers)
• baby boomers: 1946 - 1964
