Where you sorta laugh at the Harry Potter houses and roll your eyes at eating Tide Pods? But mostly just selectively identify with and cringe at both.
Then you stop and realize, you’re actually supposed to be included in one of these two wonderful generations.

Yikes.
According to the Pew Research Center, anyone born between 1981 and 1996 is a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of Gen Z. So pick your poison, I guess.
Although, different sources will draw the line anywhere between 1994 and 1996.
But, if you were actually born around that cusp, you know that it’s not so cut and dry.
Now, the real question is — if you were born between 1994 and 2000 — how would you define the Zillennial generation and why?
Also, tell us what year you were born in.

The Game Boy Pocket and Light were probably a bit too dated, but you remember the Game Boy Color, the Game Boy Advance, and the Game Boy Advance SP — all before the Nintendo DS, DS Lite, and DSi took over. And then the 3DS generations came out, and finally the WiiU and Switch. (What even was the 2DS?)
Is there a quintessential range of movies and shows (like Lizzie McGuire and Hannah Montana) that gave ~the best of both worlds~ to Zillennials?
So you caught Full House, Fresh Prince, and George Lopez on Nick at Nite, still counts!
If you’re a self-identified Zillennial, tell us what year you were born in and what it means to be a Zillennial! Let us know in the comments below, and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!
Who knows? Maybe you can finally carve out the in-between generation Zillennials deserve.
