@bijouxbroussard Coloquially, they do.
Historically, they do not, my friend.
Same as the ones born during the year 1900 belong to the XIX century and not to the XX one.
@CharlieZ My grandfather was born on Jan 14, 1900 and believed himself to have been born in the 20th century. His obituary also said that he was born “in the new century of the 1900s”.

@bijouxbroussard That is, certainly, a popular, extended believe and way to view it.
There is a way to think it the other way, though tedious.
Begining with the (conventional) first and last days of the first year of first century (Jan 1st, Dec 31th of year 1 of the 1st century), you can count ahead.
With such begining and not existing a zero year (nor zero century), to make each century to have 100 years, you end with 1900 in the XIX th and the 2000 in the XXth.

Will it be the "Roaring 20's" or the Boring 20's?
@fun4us2b Can we say “23 Skiddoo” again, eventually ?

Wow, that’s true. And it will be twenty years into the 21st century.
