Dude, just because no one told you you are wrong until now, because your definition and the real definition overlap to a large degree, doesn't mean you haven't been using it wrong in everyone else's mind.
Then again, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and let us test your theory that yours is the correct usage.

Let's face it. If you were born anytime after the manned moon landing you're a millennial. Literally half of your life will be lived after the year 2000 which for all intensive purposes places you right into the millennial category.

Kids born around 2000?
Jesus, I thought you meant like kids born in 1990s.

Yes it is. Do you think individual buys in the stock market aren't the driving force of market trends either? "Literally" literally means the opposite of literally because a bunch of idiot fucktards' personal usage on Bhutanese tie-making forums made it the working definition of the word.

The imbeciles in this thread think that you can merely use whatever words you want and it'll mean what you intend just because muh usage.
It only works when parties accept the terms. If we go about fucking around with what "Millennial" means due to muh usage, we may as well call Gen X the Baby Boomer generation, despite it not being, because, y'know... usage.
Language isn't a one-way street, which muh usage idiots make it to be. But, if you want, you can keep talking to yourself.
