    I think early/mid-80s music is more the territory of Gen X, as Millenials likely would have been too young in the early/mid-80s to really "grow up" with 80s music as their jam. XD

    Millennials? These are core mid-to-late Gen X songs. I'll give X-ennials partial credit for the 90s grunge and alternative but the 80s belongs to us.

    The youngest Millennials were born in 1980, and most of this music is from the early '80s. If they know it, it's because of their GenX parents.

    Oldest... "Millennial" applies to persons born between 1981-1996 apparently.
