Is someone born in 1996 in the same generation as someone born in 1989?

One of my older cousins said her generation is way different from her than her coworker that was born in 1996 but they’re only seven years apart. I think they are in the same generation.

Technically yes, but let's say we were both born in the 90s, you in New York or any big city, and me in some country area.

Those times before major internet, cells phones etc...were worlds apart

I have a niece born in 1989 and a nephew born in 1996, so yes, definitely.

@LaylaTheTallGirl What about sisters born in the late 80s and early 90s? My niece born in 1989 has a sister born in 1990 - just one year and seven days between them. You can't say they are not the same generation.

@MaryDreamilton they are

@LaylaTheTallGirl Of course they are.

Update: originally, I said no, but you're correct. Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996; the name refers to the fact many came of age around the year 2000. This was a group that has witnessed social values change; many have suggested their lives have become easier than those of previous generations. There is still an argument though: if someone born in 1996 is considered a Millennial or Gen Z, some people believe the cutoff is 1995.

@LaylaTheTallGirl ok,did she say anything?

LaylaTheTallGirl · 22-25, F

@Babaloo6 she couldn’t say anything. Plus I looked up that millennials are 1981-1996.
She got defensive because I corrected her
