Whenever i look up how long each generation is it always varies but the most consistent is the Baby Boomers spanning from 1946-1964. Though if the following generations continued the same logic, Gen X would be 1965-1983, Millennial would be 1984-2002 (making me a late millennial instead of an early gen z), and Gen Z would be 2003-2021. But instead everyone says Gen X is 1965 to late 70’s/early 80’s, Millennial is early 80’s to mid 90’s, Gen Z is from mid 90’s to late 00’s and Gen Alpha is early 10’s and currently ongoing

These are totally arbitrary delineations, based on nothing in particular besides peoples love of hearing about themselves. Since it is arbitrary, there is no correct set, just various opinions. Just as we discuss ‘the 80’s’ when nothing actually changed on NYE 1979 and the attributes we assign to the 80s (Punks! Leotards! Malls! Pee Wee! Hair Metal!) often existed in the mid 70s well into the 90s.
