    The cultural marker I've always heard was if you can remember 9/11 you're a millennial. I was born in 1999 and barely was not old enough to remember 9/11. Someone born in 1995 definitely remembers 9/11.

        Well, Americans and people from other places that pay attention to America, which is a lot of places and probably the majority of people reading this.

          Er, no. You greatly overestimate the amount that people gave a shit. Children especially didn't give much of a shit. I have memories from 2001, none involve 9/11

      I was born in ‘95 and after talking to my peers no one remembers 9/11 other than people being in a panic. To say we remember 9/11 is an overstatement.
