Millennial in denial

Someone born in 1995 or 1996 who will do anything to avoid being grouped with Millennials (1981-1996) because of embarrassment from the label/stereotypes of their generation.
Person 1: I'm a part of Gen Z, I was born in 1995!
Person 2: You're a Millennial, it's well agreed that Millennials end in 1996, you're 26 years old and you pay for your own life insurance.

Person 1: B-b-but I grew up with technology! and I was using the internet at age 6!
Person 2: Using 4 hour to load one picture dial-up internet era doesn't count, you're just a Millennial in denial.

Millennial Breakup

When young people have a dramatic breakup only to start hooking up again within 48 hours. This breakup is likely one of multiple millennial breakups which happen over a drawn out period of time.

The true breakup likely occurs 6-8 months after the the first millennial breakup.
Kristoff and Nick broke up last night, but they were already cuddling again today. I think it’s a millennial breakup.

dark millennial

Millennials born too late to REALLY remember the 90s. The turn of the millennium is a vague memory from when they were a child. Old enough now that they are starting to "make it". They have their student loans on a reasonable payment plan and are thinking about buying a house. But they are so fucking cynical because the world is turning to shit right when they are old enough to FULLY understand that they just want to live quietly and vote green (many of them had kids before learning of the 2050 deadline)
My dark millennial side came out yesterday, my daughter fell off the slide and a small part of me thought, better this than a school shooting or oxygen deprivation on Mars.

Millennial

A person who would say, without a hint of intentional irony, "I hate how all white men suffer from toxic masculinity and constantly inflict microaggressions due to their failure to check their privilege and respect the safe spaces of others. Oh, yeah... and I hate stereotypes."
Can you believe what that millennial just said? What's wrong with these kids today?

Zillenial

Micro-generation or sub-generation of people born between 1993-1998 (the most widely accepted date range). This micro-generation, as well as others, is the most accurate way to divide generations, because generations are not linear but transitional, they don't end overnight from one year to another, that doesn't make any sense.

This cuspy group doesn't relate completely neither with 80's Millennials nor with 2000's Gen Z'ers, because of their mixed nature (having traits of both generations). They were born and grew up at the same time as the World Wide Web (Internet), so they don't have memories of the pre-Internet world, but they do have memories of the world before being completely absorbed by the Internet.

The Zillenials spent most of their childhood years in the 2000's decade, so they were shaped by it.

They most certainly have Cuspers or Gen X'ers parents born in the 60's and 70's, unlike 80's Millennials who most certainly have Baby Boomer parents born in the 50's, so the world view of Zillenials is less conservative and more open minded, and therefore more prone to adopt "Woke" ideology.
Even though they formally belong to either the Millennial or Z generations, according to Anglo "think tanks" Pew Research Center (using 1981-1996) or Resolution Foundation (using 1981-2000), most of Zillenials view themselves as a separate generation, with certain characteristics that make them different from the rest of Millennials or Gen Z'ers,
-Amanda: "Are you a Millennial or Gen Z?
-Tom: "I'm a Zillenial"
-Amanda: "A Zillenial? what's that?
-Tom: "Those of us born around 93-98"
-Amanda: "But those born in 93-96 are Millennials according to Google"
-Tom: "Nah, we are Zillenials, that 81-96 range was made by old Boomers who don't understand us 90's babies"
-Amanda: "LOL! OK i get it, you don't relate to 80's babies"
-Tom: "Exactly"
