I know a lot of people in that age bracket and I’d say “affiliation” with those is pretty much split down the middle. Some got a job straight after school and matured into skinny jeans wearing adults while others spent some time fucking around after school and thus experienced the shift of meme culture, fashion and whatnot when they were still in their formative phase.
29 year olds aren’t really millennial, they’re borderline I guess, but the main factor in my mind is our general shared experiences. We were walking, talking, and fully aware of the world to actually experience the turn of the millennium. We know exactly where we were and what we were doing when 9/11 occurred (at least American millennials).
Most average American 29 year olds now probably don’t remember a time with a totally shit computer, but it was some of the best on the market at the time & we were really excited. It booted so fast, just a few minutes! 😆 Did they play Reader Rabbit? How about Oregon Trail?
They didn’t really see the debut of purely digital MP3 players, or the Moto RAZR.
I sang the Reading Rainbow song to a Gen Z kid & he had no fucking clue what it was. 😂 Funny, and sad.
But those born in '96 tended to associate with us more than hard Gen Z, so idk. Definitely…borderline…
I don’t think 29 year olds are millennial, are they? Or is this an older meme?
We’re kind of in-between generations but I think most of us have more in common with millennials than with gen z.

'96 is often cited as the cutoff year for millennial, so they’d be mixed 29/30.
The categories are arbitrary and the points don’t matter
The spirit of it is there

Fully dependa on whether they remember 9/11.
