"Article says he’s 27. I don’t think that’s Gen X. I’m pretty sure he’s a millennial."

It's difficult to keep track of generational terms. Let's discuss:
1. Greatest generation is WAR II.
2. Boomers are mostly from the children of Greatest Generation.
3. I'm a Boomer and both my children are in their early to mid forties. What are they?
4. Millenials are of the 90's?
5. Gen-X are mostly of the 2000's to current?
6. There is now a Gen-Y that includes the 20's, which are now my grandchildren.

If you have a definitive explanation for the generation nick-names, please inform me. They tend to overlap.

I was always under the impression that Boomers were from 1946-1964, and that Gen-X was from 1965-1981. Millennials are after that. Being that the perp is 27, assuming he hasn’t had his birthday yet, that would make him born in 1992. I’m pretty sure he’s a millennial. Millennials are from 1982-1996.

Regarding point 3, your children are Gen-X. Regarding point 5, the generation after millennials should be Generation-Z. And regarding point 6 Gen-Y and Millennials are the same thing.
