Because generations are culturally defined, I think they’re created by shared cultural events. You’re a Boomer if you can remember Kennedy getting shot and the moon landing, but not the end of WWII. You’re a Millennial if you remember the fall of the Berlin Wall but not Reagan getting shot. You’re Gen Z if you don’t remember 9/11 but do remember COVID.
You’d have to be a very early millennial to remember the fall of the Berlin Wall since the upper end of being a millennial is somewhere between 1993 - 1996. They were not even born yet. The distinguishing event might better be 9/11.

I’m a millennial and the only thing I remember about the Berlin Wall falling is my parents talking about it while I had no idea there had been a wall.
