Millenials are Gen Y: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Y
So this is referring to people born in the 80's and onwards. You're close but I guess it probably does apply to the late Gen X'ers as well.

Interesting, I could have sworn I'd seen some definitions that broke "Millennials" down as a smaller (and younger) group than "Gen Y." Oh well, sociology isn't my field. :-)

"If we are to dream, we need ..."
"Want us to dream? Give us ..."

Likewise, most of the quoted stereotypes about millennials were once said about "Gen Y" and "Gen X" kids as well.
