I think it's because technology has moved so fast. For example, I remember back in Year 8, my mobile phone could access Facebook and I used to hand it out during lunch so the other kids could check their FB. Now I can't relate to people born in 2000 or after because what they grew up with is just so different despite the three year age gap.
I thought millenials were AFTER the 94-95-96' cut off point. And gen Y is before it?

Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y, abbreviated to Gen Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to around 2000.
I'm 1997 and barely one but I remember the days of old fat TVs, not owning a computer and my first phone in 2007 being an ancient flip phone. Not to sound like I think I'm old or anything but that's pretty much what people only a couple years older always go on about it so if they are I am too.
I would argue that there is no cut off but that the division lies with things like socioeconomic status, location, etc. I relate more as far as how I was raised to people born in the latter half of the decade and I was born in early '96, for example.
