There’s rarely a strict cutoff for this sort of thing. If you’re on the edges, it’s sort of “whichever feels right”. I am only a year older than my wife, and we were both born in the late 70s, but I had a brother 7 years older than me and she was her parents’ first. Based on the TikToks she sends me, she identifies as a millennial. I am much more in tune with the Gen X zeitgeist.

The first millenials were born in 1981, so yes, they were definitely teenagers by that point.
Isn’t it 82? Whole reason they’re called millennials is because they graduated high school in the “new millennium”. 81 would have graduated in 99.

Nah dude. I’m a millennial, born in 80s. I was a teen in the 90s.
Gen x was in their 20s. They were the ones making these games, for the most part.
John Carmack, one of the programmers of Doom, was 23 when Doom was released. (Born 1970)
Just pitching in some additional info about who was making theses games.
