I don't know who came up with that definition. Gen-Y is born late 80s and 90s. Millenials are born in the new MILLENIUM.

That definition was used for a very short time in the 90s. It's long since settled into "was a teenager in the new millennium", which means born early 80s to late 90s.

Gen Z, also known as iGen, was born in the new millennium.

> short time in the 90s

The first time I heard the word millenial was 2017.

This world is weird. But in a world were people can choose their gender freely I think I can have the choice to use that word as I see fit. Feel free to do the same. ;)
