90's Cutoff Kid

Definition

Someone born in the millennial-Gen Z twilight zone of 2000-2001 who can vaguely remember dial-up internet and VHS tapes but isn't quite old enough to claim full '90s kid status. They're stuck in generational limbo, too young for one club and too old for the other, forever explaining that yes, they do remember life before smartphones.

Example Usage

As a 90's Cutoff Kid, I remember rewinding VHS tapes but also grew up with an iPhone in high school—I've seen both worlds.
