Millennials, according to Wikipedia,

The generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996

After that is Gen Z and Gen Alpha starts somewhere around 2010.

So 1997 would be an older Gen Z

That generational 'designation' has been changed so many times it's not credible.

Gen X was originally they 'children of the baby boomers'. If someone was born in 1981, they were young Gen X for most of their life, now they are told they are 'Millennials'
