Sort of off-topic, but it's unlikely to be "millennials" as such. They grew up during the "Micro$oft" era. It's probably what the news would call "generation Z".



At some point "millennials" became slang for "Kids These Days" and just sort of stuck. It's weird.


It's probably like how millennials and younger generations are just calling everyone older than them a "boomer".


No, I chose those words specifically. Considering millennials spans 21-37 y.o. Some of them would have been in diapers when Microsoft was taken to court. The tail end would have grown up during the Microsoft era, but missed the destructive, pre-monopoly ruling Microsoft that the olds warn about.


Your range for milleneals is much wider than I've heard. The absolute youngest milleneals by the ranges I've heard are around 24-25.


81-96 is the range I've seen [0]. The youngest would be ~3-4 when they were taken to anti-trust court.
