Subject: What is the most millennial year to have been born in ?

Written By: CarCar on 05/23/20 at 2:11 am

My guess 1991, kid during the Millennium/Y2K era of the Late 90s/Early 2000s, also remembering a pre-9/11 world. Teenager in the Mid/Late 2000s when MySpace, Emo and Crunk was popular and affected by the recession in high school and a 20something of the 2010s when Hipster/Indie Rock was reigned supreme

1989 or 1990

Whoever was born last year of 80’s or first year of 90’s makes sense to me.

How does 'most' mean in the context of this topic?

There's not particular year, it's going to be a cohort of birth years.

Going by the 1981-1996 definition, it would be 1988-1989, since they are halfway between that range.
1981-1988 would be the first half of that cohort, while 1989-1996 would be the second half.

Going by the 1982-1999 definition, it would be 1990-1991, since they are halfway between that range.
1982-1990 would be the first half of that cohort, while 1991-1999 would be the second half.

It depends on which definition you use.

Can the most be the highest number of milliennials born in a one particular year?

Probably 1988 but, anyone born from 1986 through 1990 is peak millennial.

Kids of the 90’s graduates/adults of the recession so late 80’s very early 90’s babies. Imo if you don’t remember a world pre windows 95-98 (global commercial internet) you are a late millennial.

According to this it is 1990 in the US.

Thank you, and think you have solved it.

That makes sense, although I think that those born in 1991 can arguably be lumped into the peak millennial cohort since they were primarily adolescents for most of the 2000s, spent a good deal of childhood in the 90s, and are young adults of the 2010s and the Obama era just like those born from 1988-1990.

I 100% agree with this. If Millennials are generally those born in the 80s and 90s and late 80s/early 90s babies are the core, then it makes perfect sense for 1989/1990 (mid/late 90s kids and core 2000’s teens) to be the absolute best representation of a Millennial.

That would be fitting lol, kids during the turn of the millennium aka Y2K or the hype for the calendar to become 2000 and teenagers for the rest of that decade. 20 somethings of the 2010s. Last people to experience the late 20th century very well and come of age in the early 21ist century.
