Aren’t some millennials still in their 20s?
The youngest ones are 28.
Just.
I’d consider them young’ns still, as a millennial a couple decades ahead.
One of the things about this generation is the people who arbitrarily decide on generations couldn’t comprehend all the changes happening from like 1982-2002 so don’t see how segmented this generation is.
My partner, a millennial from the end of the 80s has no concept of the childhood I had in the 80s, her younger brother born in 95 can’t begin to comprehend the world I grew up in but we’re still lumped together as if y2k/the millennium was what unites us.
Similarly, if you're born at the tail end of Millenial/start of Gen Z, then you still grew up with a collage of 90s and 00s culture and inconography, offsetting the definitions the groups typically gain over time. Some Gen Z grew up into adolescence without really feeling the advent of the modern internet or social media. The end of that range never knew a world without it.
Generations are useful statistical groupings, but don't represent individual experiences or influences, leading to disparity or outliers that feel excluded from their "peers" so to speak. I'd say I probably share more experiences with Gen Z, but a lot of the cultural aspects of my childhood are closely linked to later Millenial ones. There's a gradient, not a cutoff.
Exactly! I was born on the cusp between two generations and am constantly seeing incorrect assumptions about "my" generation. We're not all the same, and sometimes we mesh with the experiences of adjacent generations.
Im sorry to burst your bubble, but if you are a "couple of decades" ahead of the youngest 28 yo millennial, you are GenX and no millennial whatsoever.
My word choice was poor, I mean with the youngest millennials being in their 20s and us “elder” millennials in our 40s the disparity is crazy.
It’s a nearly 2 decade age range in difference
Its not about the age range, but because Rowling wasn't a hate spewing TERF back then. At lest not publicly.
Quoting JK Rowling has serious undertones right now. Even more so if the recipient is nonbinary as OP mentioned in another comment. You wouldn't quote a Nazi to pick up a jewish person, would you?
Is it quoting Rowling or quoting one of HP characters?
HP characters are not sentient being who speak for themselves. They are still rowlings words.
