Had a great conversation with @adam0mary here. One thing that occurred to me is how I grew up just before video games got really good. The Xbox 360 came out when I was in high school but Xbox Live hadn't really taken off yet. Fast internet existed but was still a novelty, esp. for poor people (the "rich" kids had DSL). I also came of age just before the smartphone era (had a fliphone my senior year of HS). Millennials witnessed the gradual and then sudden rise of online gaming, smart phones, streaming, and dating apps after already reaching young adulthood. I was getting DVDs in the mail from Netflix in 2009 and didn't get a smartphone until two years later when I was 21. These kind of experiences distinguish millennials and Gen Z.
