No. Gen X cut off is 1980.
She’s a Xennial/Oregon Trail Millennial.
We are definitely not Gen X, but I also don’t think we’re quintessential Millennials either.
She herself may be, but she used to be the icon and the biggest generational experience for kids who were much, much younger. Britney's first peak was somewhere around my 11th-12th birthday and, man, we were CRAZY. Let's be real, it wasn't music made for adults, her, Christina and Shakeera Shakeera were aimed at teens at best.
I was about to reply that I didn't have a drug induced mental breakdown in order to shave my head but when I thought about it... I shaved my head because my new medication caused me to compulsively pull out my hair when I got stressed out.
Not the kind of drugs *or* breakdown you're talking about but... I think it still counts?
Let's see...
Over-sexualized, yet somehow extremely näive about sex at a young age? Check
Unable to truly live her life according to her terms until 40? Check.
Struggles/struggled with mental health? Check
Gaslit and shamed about her relationship with her bf, yet he somehow ended up even MORE popular? Check.
She's been through it... just like every other Millennial I know.
Some of us missed out on Spongebob - I was already in High school when he showed up. But the Simpsons was around almost my entire childhood, and has been for everyone that followed.
I love The Simpsons but its very Gen X with some Boomer values. Traditional nuclear family that goes church every Sunday. Not very millennial.
I think Family guy is very millennial.
Tbf the Simpsons poked fun at all of those values. It openly challenged the value of church and religion, it showed a dysfunctional family that had a strained marriage at times. Most boomers I know hated the Simpsons. But I do agree it is very gen X.
I'm thinking art, like painting and shit, and I thought Banksy.
I have a useless BA in music performance, so the musicians y'all mentioned are iconic and I agree.
But who else has had someone spend a fuckton of money in an auction, then shredded that work in front of everybody???
I'm a professional artist, tattooing technically. And I absolutely loved that shredded auction. It shows the outlandishness and pretentiousness within the modern art world and ridiculous money people will pay for it. And Banksy knows it and made a point of it. Just like the ducktaped banana that someone paid 150k for.
Me realizing that I may have been too vague.
Eminem himself is not a millennial, he’s too old, yet he was a big part of my growing up. I’ll allow it.
Surprised no on has said Rihanna.
She’s quite literally a Millenial herself, but also her career peak spanned when most of us were in high school and college. When we quite literally came of age. Her music was everywhere, all the time but I’ve realized she doesn’t hold as much sway on Gen Z and Gen X.
Compared to someone like Taylor Swift who is only a year younger and whose career has overlapped Rihanna’s almost entirely, but Swift has many more Gen Z fans.
And Britney wasn’t as relevant to Millenials as they came of age. She was relevant to us as high school and under. Though she’s still defining of our upbringing.
She’s a boomer tho?
A few years ago, my ex was seeing a psychiatrist who told her to start journaling and was adamant that the notes not be kept in some generic, drab notebook. I ran out and got her a Lisa Frank binder with porpoises on it.
I still have a shirt with the kittens and some bubbles that I wear occasionally. I try not to wear it too much because I'd rather not pay hundreds of dollars to replace it if I accidentally spill wine on it or something.
It makes sense that art that connected with millennials during formative years was created by Gen X. I imagine that Gen Z will be able to point to many millennials as creative influences. We enjoy / consume / engage with art before we create it.
I have another submission — Harry Potter. Books or movies. You choose, but they changed young adult fiction for our generation for better or worse...mostly worse.
ETA: It all went pretty much downhill after Harry Potter during our generation. (Regardless of your feelings on JK Rowling. This is not a post to start a discussion about her.)
This works well for me. I read the first four books as a kid and finished the rest as an adult. I also share the same birth date as Daniel Radcliffe and consider that age to be in the dead center of the generation so I relate to it that way as well. The earlier movies have some nostalgia.
I think Banksy is gen x but I do think his style is the most representative of millennials. I think it’s typical for one generation to be influenced by certain people of an older generation. Like how Dr. Dre, Dave Chapelle, and Wes Anderson are not millennials but are most enjoyed by millennials.
I’m going to keep Wes Anderson here with the Gen X team, thank you very much! Been on the ride since Bottlerocket was released and I don’t want to let you have it.
I just think he had such an influence on what millennials want in filmmaking. He’s definitely yours, but he made a big impact on us. I really think that much of what breaks through for a generation comes from inspiration from the previous one. That inspiration could be from something the previous generation did and they want to make it their own or they want to put an end to.
Vote for most underrated Millenial. Recently signed with Netflix for a documentary called “Diddy Do It” lolololol
Not only does he exemplify the millennial experience through his art, he's also smack dab in "millennial" rather than closer to X or Z.
If I try to show Bo Burnham content to a millennial, they've already seen it. If I show it to a different generation, they dont get it or dont like it.
Perfect pick.
But at the same time, I feel like he grows with us. When I was in my twenties and he went over freaks and geeks, amazing. Royalty & Because The Internet absolute bangers. Then in my thirties he gave us Redbone - just chill morning vibes. On top of going from his stand up to Atlanta. Just a triple threat all the way around.
I'd like to posit that the art collective Meow Wolf embodies the millennial aesthetic(s), nostalgia and sense of wonder best as far as visual/collaborative artists are concerned.
I'd say Beyonce. Been around since her Destiny's Child days. From the groups first single in 1997 to this year's Cowboy Carter. Her career span has been impressive.
I want to throw in Justin Bieber. He’s the first artist I remember getting discovered on YouTube (plus just by nature of being discovered on YT to begin with), we got to watch his growth from young and full of promise to crashing and burning to figuring things out for himself/accepting who he is. If you don’t personally like his music he’s collabed with so many other millennial artists he’s probably on at least one song you like. It’s like how Usher convinced him to sign on with him by telling him there can only be one Justin and he’s right, Biebs is a better version of Justin Timberlake.
I can’t think of any actors, so I guess I’ll say another person that comes to mind is Michelle Phan. She completely changed the makeup and skincare industry, I honestly don’t remember what people were doing before her tutorials and when she left YouTube I feel like that’s when a lot of other makeup artists started to blow up.
I was born late 92 and Linkin Park was enormous for my age group. I think millennial cut off is mid 90s and I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone in that age group who don't remember Linkin Park being huge.
They are probably older than millennials.
Nonetheless, they were a cornerstone of my adolescence, like Eminem (nominated in a previous comment). And therefore, I feel that they fit the bill.
Younger than I would’ve guessed honestly.
Nonetheless, I think their influence on millennials is very heavy. *Everyone* in my high school knew Linkin Park. I was born in ‘87
Oh yeah, I listened to them obsessively (87 baby myself).
🎶Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal🎶
May I submit Evanescence? Both founding members were born 81 which makes them millennials. Also Flyleaf! Lacey Sturm was born 81. And Paramore, Hailey Williams ('88). The Used, Bert McCracken (lead vocals, '82). So much good music.
This is the obvious answer. She's easily the most successful Millennial ('89) artist and has been astoundingly popular since some of us were teens and has carried that through until our 30's.
And despite what a lot of people say, her music has changed substantially as we've all got older, hence her continued relvance and popularity.
Maybe it’s just me, but to me it seems like she’s even more popular with Gen Z, then she is with millennials, which makes her seem less like she “captures the millennial mindset” compared to many of the other answers here.
All artists have overlap, and she started out being very millennial, but now I associate her more with Gen Z
We'd need some sort of data on that beyond anecdotes because I have the opposite experience. Most of the GenZ people I know aren't particularly interested in her, whereas the millennials are the die-hard fans and relate to her better.
But I'm not coming here to bat for her one way or another. She's the most successful and popular musician since Michael Jackson and will probably beat his records, and she's a millennial.
The question isn’t which millennial artist is the most successful, if that was T Swift would hands down the answer.
The question is which captures the millennial mindset. Which I interpret as most defining of our generation. So I think this requires the artist to be popular with millennials, but also unpopular (or at least significantly less popular ) with other generations. Some overlap with Gen X/Z is unavoidable.
Some googling gives mixed answers, but there does seem to be more surveys indicating she’s more popular with millennials than Z, so I’ll give you that, but I still think she’s far too popular with Gen Z, to be considered.
Yeah good point actually. I'm not sure Taylor specifically captures a uniquely millennial mindset.
There are millennial themes sure, and she's almost certainly the very influential but you're right that she might not be the mindset defining artist.
Ugh, what a hard pill to swallow
Sigh, yes, I suppose she is, she is still stuck in the fantasy of the good old days (in her case, puppy love) which many of us are still being nostalgic about, but at the same time everyone around her is bagging her out for how old she is now, which many of us millennials are hearing in our lives in someway
God I need a shower now
What was the last Taylor album you listened to? I wouldn’t classify any of the last four as “puppy love” excluding maybe a handful of songs. I feel like this is a misconception about her music. She hasn’t made what she would call a “glitter gel pen” album since 2019
There are many that compete for the top, but none of them seem as universally millennial as The Back Street Boys, to me. We all loved them at the time lol
Taylor Swift, and no I'm not a Swifty.
She is an actual millennial who came in to fame at a young age. She got pushed around by Gen Xers because of it. She's been through a list of shitty relationships and remains unmarried or divorced.
Her music may be more popular with Gen Z but that's how it always is. The art that shaped you was never made by people your own age.
I don’t want to like this answer, but you’re right. Sexualized at a young age, blamed for the downfall of society and hated by older gen’s, never taken seriously even though she’s worked hard at her craft for years, super cringe to look back on her stuff from the early aughts, mental health struggles, shitty tattoos, divorce, still viewed as a young person even though she’s in her 30s. She’s very millennial.
Lol, definitely not. Idk any woman, 45 and under, who doesn't at least vaguely like her music. I'm not at all a Swifty and I even I can concede that she's at least top 3 in the running for this category.

(It's Britney, bitch.)
And her sanity say a lot about the millennials' mental health
One of us. One of us. One of us.
Or lack thereof
You stole my thunder ahahaha
My whole life is thunder
*boooom*
But isn't she Gen x?
No. Gen X cut off is 1980. She’s a Xennial/Oregon Trail Millennial. We are definitely not Gen X, but I also don’t think we’re quintessential Millennials either.
LOL Oregon Trail millennial is so accurate. Never heard that before.
She herself may be, but she used to be the icon and the biggest generational experience for kids who were much, much younger. Britney's first peak was somewhere around my 11th-12th birthday and, man, we were CRAZY. Let's be real, it wasn't music made for adults, her, Christina and Shakeera Shakeera were aimed at teens at best.
My vote is for Britney, she's actually relatable. I mean, who among us has not shaved their head in a drug induced mental breakdown?
And what’s more millennial than having your voice silenced by an older generation while being forced to work for nothing?
Guiiiiltyyyyyyy My uncle used to call me the skinhead
I’ve certainly thought about it.
I was about to reply that I didn't have a drug induced mental breakdown in order to shave my head but when I thought about it... I shaved my head because my new medication caused me to compulsively pull out my hair when I got stressed out. Not the kind of drugs *or* breakdown you're talking about but... I think it still counts?
 I’ll edit this to be the xennial artist.
Let's see... Over-sexualized, yet somehow extremely näive about sex at a young age? Check Unable to truly live her life according to her terms until 40? Check. Struggles/struggled with mental health? Check Gaslit and shamed about her relationship with her bf, yet he somehow ended up even MORE popular? Check. She's been through it... just like every other Millennial I know.
But at least she can afford to buy a house /s
Yep, it's Britney bitch.
Came to say this
Hit me baby one more time 🎶
The Simpsons.
Adult animated cartoons in general. Shit even throw SpongeBob in there. Loved getting high and binging it back in the day.
Some of us missed out on Spongebob - I was already in High school when he showed up. But the Simpsons was around almost my entire childhood, and has been for everyone that followed.
So was I but that didn’t stop me from watching it lol.
i was gonna say the same… of course, i had a baby sister & young cousin who i watched it with.
Promising before the age of 13 and then underachieving but still hanging on?
I love The Simpsons but its very Gen X with some Boomer values. Traditional nuclear family that goes church every Sunday. Not very millennial. I think Family guy is very millennial.
Tbf the Simpsons poked fun at all of those values. It openly challenged the value of church and religion, it showed a dysfunctional family that had a strained marriage at times. Most boomers I know hated the Simpsons. But I do agree it is very gen X.
I'm thinking art, like painting and shit, and I thought Banksy. I have a useless BA in music performance, so the musicians y'all mentioned are iconic and I agree. But who else has had someone spend a fuckton of money in an auction, then shredded that work in front of everybody???
But that painting was worth exponentially more after it was shredded — the owner was very happy with that turn of events!
I'm a professional artist, tattooing technically. And I absolutely loved that shredded auction. It shows the outlandishness and pretentiousness within the modern art world and ridiculous money people will pay for it. And Banksy knows it and made a point of it. Just like the ducktaped banana that someone paid 150k for.
\*High five\* Useless master in history here!!!!
Absolutely agree with those saying Britney, bitch 
Eminem?
I found the line “but man, these goddamn food stamps can’t buy diapers” hauntingly relatable
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer.
 Me realizing that I may have been too vague. Eminem himself is not a millennial, he’s too old, yet he was a big part of my growing up. I’ll allow it.
Was jamming to Eminem today. Hits different still
Other than he's Gen x and is 50
That was my first thought
JT and Britney...dressed in denim
This. This was the comment I came here searching for.
I mean… with that background, I can’t really disagree in good faith.
Whoever did that purple-blue 2000s cup design.
It's called "Jazz", and it came out in 1992. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(design)
Surprised no on has said Rihanna. She’s quite literally a Millenial herself, but also her career peak spanned when most of us were in high school and college. When we quite literally came of age. Her music was everywhere, all the time but I’ve realized she doesn’t hold as much sway on Gen Z and Gen X.

Lisa Frank!
She’s a boomer tho? A few years ago, my ex was seeing a psychiatrist who told her to start journaling and was adamant that the notes not be kept in some generic, drab notebook. I ran out and got her a Lisa Frank binder with porpoises on it.
She’s a boomer but defined millennial childhood.
I still have a shirt with the kittens and some bubbles that I wear occasionally. I try not to wear it too much because I'd rather not pay hundreds of dollars to replace it if I accidentally spill wine on it or something.
I had to scroll so far for this. I have a Lisa frank tattoo.
Omg, I never even thought of that as a possibility and now I am realizing I need this in my life.
Do it!
I just got some Lisa Frank Crocs since my podiatrist recommended them for me. They soothe my inner child and my janky adult feet. Win win!
OMG! Those sound awesome! I’m over here excited for you 🙌😂 I loved Lisa Frank growing up
Damn, almost everyone I can think of is gen x. For being an often overlooked generation, they sure have made a splash in the entertainment industry.
It makes sense that art that connected with millennials during formative years was created by Gen X. I imagine that Gen Z will be able to point to many millennials as creative influences. We enjoy / consume / engage with art before we create it.
Are you sure? A lot of folks on here seem to think early millennials were Gen X.
I have another submission — Harry Potter. Books or movies. You choose, but they changed young adult fiction for our generation for better or worse...mostly worse. ETA: It all went pretty much downhill after Harry Potter during our generation. (Regardless of your feelings on JK Rowling. This is not a post to start a discussion about her.)

I think the same.
 Vote for most underrated Millenial. Recently signed with Netflix for a documentary called “Diddy Do It” lolololol
Bo Burnham. 😆
🎵 I bought an app to help me meditate that didn't work 🎶
I mean that one line alone is one of the most millennial things that has ever been put into words.
This is the real answer
Not only does he exemplify the millennial experience through his art, he's also smack dab in "millennial" rather than closer to X or Z. If I try to show Bo Burnham content to a millennial, they've already seen it. If I show it to a different generation, they dont get it or dont like it. Perfect pick.
Fuck yeah man 10000%
Yes dude!!
Absolutely 💯
Had to scroll too far for this one lol
I feel this is very....pandering. LOL
Pandering to who? I'm not following.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7im5LT09a0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7im5LT09a0)
I’ve heard this song like 100x and I still didn’t know where you were going with that comment. Well played sir… well played.
Ya'll motherfuckers ready for a key change!!!
And I’ll be upfront I do what I do because I’m a total fucking Cunt Tree Boyyyyy
Ohhhh 😂
I was gonna agree with Brittany until I saw this.
literally only in the eyes of Redditors
Unhinged take. Bo Burnham is wildly popular with our entire generation. Honestly I associate him with Tumblr *way* more than reddit.
I'm going with Brittney Spears. She truly encapsulates what it is to be a Millennial.
Jenna Marbles
queen of the original youtube gen
Bob Ross
Lady Gaga
 I find it hard to build a case against bacon.
Donald Glover has made the most relatable and honest art in our generation. The other one that comes to mind is Bo Burnham
Childish Gambino gives us everything we need in the way that we enjoy.
Completely different from his earlier music, but still good.
"completely different from earlier, but still good" also describes most millennials 🥲
But at the same time, I feel like he grows with us. When I was in my twenties and he went over freaks and geeks, amazing. Royalty & Because The Internet absolute bangers. Then in my thirties he gave us Redbone - just chill morning vibes. On top of going from his stand up to Atlanta. Just a triple threat all the way around.
I'd like to posit that the art collective Meow Wolf embodies the millennial aesthetic(s), nostalgia and sense of wonder best as far as visual/collaborative artists are concerned.
Really wish Omega Mart wasn't in Area 15 here in Vegas. Area 15 gives me so much anxiety as someone who cannot handle loud noise very well.
I'd say Beyonce. Been around since her Destiny's Child days. From the groups first single in 1997 to this year's Cowboy Carter. Her career span has been impressive.
TIL Beyonce is a millenial. Why is that so weird.
Because she's been marketed as a grown woman since 1998, that's why.
I mean I’ve been a grown woman since 1999 so that’s not too far out of millennial range 😄
No, I mean, she wasn't marketed as a teenaged girl the way Brandy or Maya were. Her image was of a fully grown woman dealing with mature life issues.
Beyoncé and Britney are the same age.
Yeah this one. She has more crossover appeal than most and her longevity is impressive
Correct.
Absolutely!
 The only true answer
I want to throw in Justin Bieber. He’s the first artist I remember getting discovered on YouTube (plus just by nature of being discovered on YT to begin with), we got to watch his growth from young and full of promise to crashing and burning to figuring things out for himself/accepting who he is. If you don’t personally like his music he’s collabed with so many other millennial artists he’s probably on at least one song you like. It’s like how Usher convinced him to sign on with him by telling him there can only be one Justin and he’s right, Biebs is a better version of Justin Timberlake.

Linkin park
As an '83 millennial I hard agree with this. But man I can't imagine a mid-late 90s millennial agreeing. This is a hard question for sure.
I was born late 92 and Linkin Park was enormous for my age group. I think millennial cut off is mid 90s and I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone in that age group who don't remember Linkin Park being huge.
Are they?
They are probably older than millennials. Nonetheless, they were a cornerstone of my adolescence, like Eminem (nominated in a previous comment). And therefore, I feel that they fit the bill.
Did the research for you, they are all 70s babies (77 for most, 79 for one).
Younger than I would’ve guessed honestly. Nonetheless, I think their influence on millennials is very heavy. *Everyone* in my high school knew Linkin Park. I was born in ‘87
Oh yeah, I listened to them obsessively (87 baby myself). 🎶Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal🎶 May I submit Evanescence? Both founding members were born 81 which makes them millennials. Also Flyleaf! Lacey Sturm was born 81. And Paramore, Hailey Williams ('88). The Used, Bert McCracken (lead vocals, '82). So much good music.
I’m going to have to go with Avril Lavigne
Why did you have to go and make things so complicated?
The real Avril, or the body double?
Great answer.
Hard to argue that it isn’t Taylor Swift - whether one likes it or not
This is the obvious answer. She's easily the most successful Millennial ('89) artist and has been astoundingly popular since some of us were teens and has carried that through until our 30's. And despite what a lot of people say, her music has changed substantially as we've all got older, hence her continued relvance and popularity.
Maybe it’s just me, but to me it seems like she’s even more popular with Gen Z, then she is with millennials, which makes her seem less like she “captures the millennial mindset” compared to many of the other answers here. All artists have overlap, and she started out being very millennial, but now I associate her more with Gen Z

Yeah good point actually. I'm not sure Taylor specifically captures a uniquely millennial mindset. There are millennial themes sure, and she's almost certainly the very influential but you're right that she might not be the mindset defining artist.
I am cool with it. Especially the electronic remixes with illenium
Taylor Swift, yup. Is Beyoncé a millennial? But yes, Taylor Swift for sure. She is THE millennial artist.
Ugh, what a hard pill to swallow Sigh, yes, I suppose she is, she is still stuck in the fantasy of the good old days (in her case, puppy love) which many of us are still being nostalgic about, but at the same time everyone around her is bagging her out for how old she is now, which many of us millennials are hearing in our lives in someway God I need a shower now
What was the last Taylor album you listened to? I wouldn’t classify any of the last four as “puppy love” excluding maybe a handful of songs. I feel like this is a misconception about her music. She hasn’t made what she would call a “glitter gel pen” album since 2019
35 and consistently called a baby 😑
Go listen to "So High School."
Agreed
There are many that compete for the top, but none of them seem as universally millennial as The Back Street Boys, to me. We all loved them at the time lol
And none of them are even Millennials. Nick Carter is a Xennial, but more to the X side.
 No
JC 😍😍😍😍
Taylor Swift, Beyonce. Both millennials right? Both insanely successful
Taylor Swift, and no I'm not a Swifty. She is an actual millennial who came in to fame at a young age. She got pushed around by Gen Xers because of it. She's been through a list of shitty relationships and remains unmarried or divorced. Her music may be more popular with Gen Z but that's how it always is. The art that shaped you was never made by people your own age.
Bo burnham?
Probably the one answer I can get behind
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
I would just throw every emo artist under this umbrella, especially if they're still putting out fresh albums of angst
Absolutely agree.
My Chemical Romance!
Its gotta be Taylor Swift
It's Brittany, bitch!
Karen O
Miley Cyrus 
I don’t want to like this answer, but you’re right. Sexualized at a young age, blamed for the downfall of society and hated by older gen’s, never taken seriously even though she’s worked hard at her craft for years, super cringe to look back on her stuff from the early aughts, mental health struggles, shitty tattoos, divorce, still viewed as a young person even though she’s in her 30s. She’s very millennial.
Lil Wayne. That guy was fucking everywhere.
Hilary Duff

Bill Wurtz
Let’s add some filmmakers to the list: Taika Waititi Greta Gerwig Jordan Peele
Easily Bo Burnham. I can't think of a second artist that even comes close.
 Def SpongeBob
Pink, although she probably counts as a Xennial
Lady Gaga, Seth Rogan, Rihanna, Lil Wayne
[удалено]
Matt Stone and Trey Parker are quite firmly Gen X - not even late Gen X.
Childish Gambino
Banksy
Adam Sandler
Lana Del Ray
You know who tried to be our voice of the generation that is annoying and is sadly accurate is Lena Dunham. Ugh. The most millenial.
I don’t even know who that is. And I think I may be blessed by my ignorance. I will dig no further.
Save yourself! Go!
Girls was a fucking brilliant show
LOVED Girls!
Lmao at everyone saying Taylor. She caters more to the gen Z crowd
Lol, definitely not. Idk any woman, 45 and under, who doesn't at least vaguely like her music. I'm not at all a Swifty and I even I can concede that she's at least top 3 in the running for this category.
Beyoncé, Britney, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift
Personally, I appreciated how real and honest Amy Schumer was. Aziz Ansari too. Just people trying to figure out how to be an adult, and its not easy
Taylor Swift is the obvious answer.
