What are kids born in, say, 1995 then?

Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates when the generation starts and ends. Researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.

But other things refer to Millennials as the generation coming of age (becoming adults) around 2000. Three's no consistency in this.

You can more or less fit it in because the one before it and after it have been defined.

Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. Demographers, historians and commentators use birth dates ranging from the early 1960s to the early 1980s.[28][29][30] The term has also been used in different times and places for a number of different subcultures or countercultures since the 1950s.[31]
Millennials, also known as the Millennial Generation,[32] or Generation Y, is the demographic cohort following Generation X. Commentators use birth dates ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.[33][34][35]
Generation Z refers to the cohort of people born after the Millennial Generation. There is no agreement on the exact name or birth dates of the generation with some sources starting it at the mid or late 1990s[32] or the more widely used period from the mid 2000s[36] to the present day.

So, Millennials would fit somewhere between 1980 and 2000, with post 2000 being definitely Gen Z and pre 1980 being definitely Gen X

It's so strange to me that generational breakdowns span 20 years. As someone born in 1982, I've found that I have a lot more in common with people in the later part of Gen X than I do with people born in the 90s, and I'm supposed to be in the same generation as the 90s folks.

It's strange to me too. It seems to me that recently, largely because of technology, it's more appropriate to frame it as sort of micro-generations instead of the traditional model. I'm smack in the middle of the Millenials, born in 90, but my childhood was far from the same experience as someone born in 80 or 2000. I think they need to start chopping the divisions smaller.
