The Millennial term was to denote the first high school graduating class of the new millennium, 2000. Those people are all 40+.
My opinion is that the Millennial term was started as a news/fad type of thing for the year 2000 (Y2K anyone?). I say that because generally Millennials and Gen X’ers are siblings both raised by Boomers, and siblings are typically considered to be from the same generation (with some exceptions).
