OK, I've figured out how to settle the Gen X vs Millennial cut off:
What was the first boy band you clearly remember while they were popular?
If it's Backstreet, NSYNC, etc, you're clearly a millennial.
If it's New Kids on the Block ie earlier, you're Gen X.
Pretty sure this is as objective as it's possibly going to get and better criteria than Pew going back and forth between 80 and 84.
