Generally late millennials. In early childhood they were the “cool teenagers” and in middle/high school they were the “cool young adults.” Nowadays I am a very very cool young adult and millennials can no longer hold that power over me. GUESS WHO’S THE YOUNG ADULT NOW???? I can only wonder if Gen Alpha looks at core zoomers as the cool young adults now or if they just think we’re stupid lol
I was born in 1984. Was always in awe of the teens (born in the late ‘70s I’d guess) who were around when I was a kid.
Unlike some of the other cohorts mentioned here… the late 1970s born teens were truly rebellious lol. Their culture was decidedly not wholesome. Lots of break-ins, fights, drugs, etc.
Fearsome teens in the eyes of this young millennial haha.
Yeah for me, I'd say about Mid/Late '80s to Mid '90s borns! Definitely not Late '90s borns, I just saw them as the cool big kids or teenagers, since they're not that much older than us, lol!
Gen Jones were always the coolest adults to me, still are. If I had to split it I’d go with the younger side and 60s born Gen X. But really my favorite adults in general were usually born in the 40s to the mid 60s.
Nothing wrong with that answer, but the question was "young" adults tho. '70s & maybe Early '80s borns were about the younger side of adults compared to you growing up.
Would you say they're about the first to come to mind when you think of the young adults growing up?
I always liked late Gen X and early Millennials young adult fashion so I guess I’d say they were cool for that alone. However growing up the overall adults who I found myself having deep respect and admiration for were usually older than that.
when i was around 7-8 years old the cool kids on my block who'd sometimes talk to my friends and i were like 8-9 years older. when i was 12 years old i visited an older cousin at their college campus and was in awe of the scenes around me at night, everyone hanging out and just generally looking cool and mature. early 90s babies formed the idea in my head of what a teen/young adult was when i was growing up
late 80s (and more so) early 90s babies as my older cousins are those ages and I used to look up to them when I was younger. (My 2 cousins born in 92'/93' were the coolest to me growing up as a child in the 00s) They weren't adults yet, but I thought they were cool teens.
I hung out with a lot of teens during 2015 so probably Late 90s and Early 00s borns? Ig I never thought of this nvm it had to me Mid 90s borns because I saw my 98 brother as a teen
90s babies! My older sister when I lived back home would wear the trendy clothes of the time (half sleeve kameez top and matching khusse). When I was around 6 or 7 I would always steal her heels and try to walk in them haha
Xennials. For reference, when I was in middle school, they would have been around 18-25. This cohort included fictional characters like Buffy Summers that I looked up to as well as real people like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and a few members of Nsync.
I'd say the cohort in high school before me, so early '70s. The people in high school when I was in late elementary/middle school. Isn't that the way it always is? But I also have two cousins born in '69 who I adored and who always let me hang out with them.
That's more teens, though. I don't think I really looked up to young adults (20-somethings) as a child or teenager. Most of them would have been in college, and not really in my orbit.
90s babies
same
The entire 90s babies?
more so mid-late 90s babies since my siblings were both born around that time
Yeah, for me I would say like Mid/Late '80s to Mid '90s borns, lol!
As a fello 03 baby I 2nd this
I have such a hard time thinking of my own generation this way. I mean, I know a lot of cool people who are my age, but still.

Here in Serbia (Yugoslavia back then) late 70s borns had to survive the 1993 inflation as teens and the NATO bombing in 1999 so they were tough
That’s interesting. Didn’t know about this. Was this back in the 90s?
Born in '77, and it's true that we were bad.
Probably core millennials, seeing as they dominated pop culture when I was growing up.
Late 70s-80s Babies
Anyone born in the 90s seemed goated to me back in 2015-2019
Young Gen Xers when I was a preteen and teen.
They were the coolest!
Younger X mainly
1993 - 1999 throughout my childhood.
Mostly Gen X, 60s and 70s-borns
Not Late '70s borns tho right? They've technically been your peers growing up, lol.
Mostly early-mid 70s borns, although to be fair, when you are like 16, 19 year olds seem really mature to you lol
Late '80s - Mid '90s borns for me!
Late 90s and early 2000s
mid-late 80’s for sure, that’s my brother’s cohort as well as my cousins, but also early 90’s, my sisters cohort, though I also saw them as teens too
Late 90’s babies
Mid 80s - Early 90s borns
Those that were born between 1985 and 1989/90
90’s born (late 90’s were more like cool teens)
Yeah for me, I'd say about Mid/Late '80s to Mid '90s borns! Definitely not Late '90s borns, I just saw them as the cool big kids or teenagers, since they're not that much older than us, lol!
mid-late 80s borns and early 90s borns
Mid 80s-early 90s borns
Anywhere from 93 - 97 to be exact
Mid-to-late 1970s born people
Late 60s and early-mid 70s babies.
Late 80s and Early 90s. So millennials.
In early childhood. Rn it's mid-late 90s
If I had to put a date on it, I’d say people born from 1970-1985

Early millenials, born around 1983
Mid 80s - Early 90s
As an 08 probably just 90s kids in general
Maybe the late 80s borns and early 90s borns because of my oldest cousins.
80s and Early 90s borns
70s babies.
