I think a few key differences in that 1980-1985 birth year. In 1980 you graduated university before digital cameras were everywhere and Facebook existed. In 1985 you started University at the same time as Facebook and digital cameras.

So somewhere in there is the break. I identify with much more Gex X traits than millennial traits being born in 1981

The name of the generation is based on people coming of age around the turn off the millennium.

You're thinking of generation Z.
But the point is that the term is generally misused; and often referring to Gen Z.

If it's "generally accepted as 82-95 births", that's not how it's generally used.
Case and point, the monopoly items.

The version of millennials monopoly is aimed at definitely includes people born 82-95. It may skew younger but that one isn’t a misuse of the term.
