Born In 97 How Old Am I

So, there I was, the other day, chatting with my grandma. She's a sweet lady, always full of stories. She asks me, "How old are you now, dear?" I chuckle and say, "Well, Grandma, I was born in '97, so..." She interrupts, "Oh, that's right! You're a millennial!" And that got me thinking, hey, how old am I, really?

Born in '97 - What's That Mean?

Well, if you're reading this, chances are you're either a millennial yourself, or you're curious about us. Born between 1981 and 1996, according to the Pew Research Center, we're the generation that grew up with the internet, smartphones, and social media. And yes, that makes us old enough to have seen the world change dramatically, but not so old that we can't keep up with the latest trends.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But I was born in '97 too, and I'm not a millennial!" Well, friend, you're right. There's a bit of a debate about the exact years that define a millennial. Some say it's '81 to '96, others say '80 to '95. But for the sake of this conversation, let's stick with '81 to '96, because that's what the Pew Research Center uses, and they're pretty reliable.

So, How Old Am I?

If we go by the '81 to '96 range, I'm right on the cusp. Born in '97, I'm what some people call a "young millennial" or even a "Generation Z" on the edge. But if we go by the '80 to '95 range, I'm a full-fledged millennial. Isn't that fun? It's like being in a time warp, where I can be a millennial one day and a Gen Z the next, all depending on who you ask.

But here's the thing, does it really matter? Sure, it's interesting to know where we fit in the grand scheme of generations, but at the end of the day, we're all just people trying to make our way in the world. We've got our own unique experiences and perspectives, shaped by the times we grew up in, but that doesn't make us any more or less than anyone else.

What's It Like, Being Born in '97?

Well, let me tell you, it's been an interesting ride. I grew up with dial-up internet, but I also remember when broadband became a thing. I had a flip phone, but I also saw the rise of the smartphone. I remember when Facebook was just for college students, and when it became a place where your mom could see all your embarrassing photos.

I've seen the world change in so many ways. We've gone from CDs to iPods to streaming services. From landline phones to smartphones. From physical maps to GPS. And through it all, we've been connected, in one way or another, to the internet. It's been a wild ride, and I'm not even 25 yet!

So, if you're reading this and you were born in '97 too, what's your story? What's it like for you, being on the cusp of two generations? And if you're not a '97 baby, what's your generation like? Let's chat in the comments, yeah?
