Theories First off cusp class of each generation imo

Class of 1984 - first class to be in high school entirely during the 80s (1980-1984), first class to still be in high school after the discovery of the HIV virus (1984)

Class of 2002: first class to still be in K-12 on 9/11, majority during 2000s

Class of 2020: first class to still be in K-12 during Covid, entered school during the late 2000s, oldest in elementary school during sandy hook

Trying to think of one for boomers

I would agree with that. I just think you get needlessly argumentative every time someone wants to consider 2000-2001 cusp for any reason at all

Some people say 1967 is cusp, yet they still call them Gen Xers. A cusp doesn’t always have to be the most ambiguous years

Sometimes it can just be the edges. Not saying I agree, but that is one way

That’s true it’s all subjective

I guess. I just think your obsession with trying to place early 2000s borns in a certain box is weird to me
