Millennial.
I categorize myself in a weird place. My grandparents are “pre boomers” born during World War II. I was raised by them.
So I have some old fashioned cultural values in addition to some of the more modern values common to my fellow millennials.

I am a millennial, albeit one of the older ones.
I’m interested where the age breakdowns came from for this? When I do research, I typically call Gen-X 1965-1980 and millennials 1981-1996.
There’s such a difference between a 40 year old (me) and a 28 year old around technology. I grew up with no internet but entered the workforce with internet - I think this has a major impact on preferred communication style.
I was going to include that group (Post War Cohorts 1928-1945) but I could only have 5 poll choices.
I noticed that there is variation on the years depending on what site you go to.

“Traditionalists” is the oft-used term for this group of pre-boomers.
Silent Generation is probably the most frequently used term for this generation.
I was born right at the cusp of Generation X. My older brother was a Boomer.
Why did you split boomer into two groups?
I was born in 77 and I’m fairly sure I’m Gen X. Heck, I’ve even read the novel that popularized the term.
I of course being 63 am a boomer.

Gen Y according to the poll in the OP, Gen X according to many other sites, but I’m too old to be the former and too young to be the latter.
I prefer Oregon Trail Generation.
They all should be as far as I’m concerned. 20 years is a long time frame.
Boomer II ia also known as Generation Jones (As in "keeping up with the Jones’s)
About twenty years is the customary span of a generation when using generations to measure time. In fact, that’s on the low side.
D generation (Lone Rangers reference)
