There is someone who's the first and oldest member of gen Z, and they have absolutely no clue that's the case. (lemm.ee)

For cusp people, it has more to do with what generation YOUR parents identify with the strictly your own birth date.

There’s certainly some interesting stuff to consider there. For instance, my wife and I are less than one year apart, but I have a brother seven years older than me, and she is the first born in her family. We’re both in between, kind of, but I have a lot more Gen X memories and experiences, while she has more Millennial ones.

Funny, my father was born to what was considered pretty old parents, for the time. But grandma in particular really wasn’t very representative of the Silent Generation lol
