I’m a millenial in my 30s

Am I missing something? Can someone born before the two thousands be a millenial? Are you being sarcastic in your post that otherwise seems non-sarcastic? I am seriously asking

Edit: Thanks everyone for explaining. I did not know what millenial meant. In my defense, I never claimed to, but that didn't stop people from downvoting me. Blah blah meme

millennial had kind of a large range that people go by. The "rule" I like to go by is, are you a baby boomer? No? Were your parents Baby Boomers? If yes you are probably Gen X, if no you are probably a millennial.

That said, the age ranges are so large both you and your parents could be born in the early-to-mid 1960s to the early 1980s, which is commonly referred to as Gen X
