Born in 1980 - you're a millenial

Gen X was 1960-ish to 1975ish

Although you're on the cusp. Like my mom, who is on the cusp of Silent Gen/Boomer, she identified more with the Silent Gen as a kid, and more with the Boomers as an adult

Like all generations, some on the cusp identify more with the generation before or after them
