Which year is the most stereotypical, not peak, but stereotypical Millennial year?

Millennials

I’m not talking about the numerical peak of Millennials but rather the year that screams Millennial the most (for some of you they’re both)?

Personally I will say 1988 borns. They were Reagan babies, most likely have no memory of the Cold War, were peak mid 90’s children and one of the most stereotypical 90’s kids, spent most of their childhood post-Windows 95 release, going by the 3-12 childhood definition, spent basically all of their youth within prime Millennial youth culture, had all of their teens in the 21st century and the Bush administration, were the first to enter high school post-9/11 (so they are the first true post-9/11 teens), were in high school when social media blew up with MySpace in late 05’, making them the first social media teens, spent the peak of their youth in the McBling era rather than the Y2K era like years prior (their peak was around the 2004-05’ school year when pop culture was more McBling), graduated post-Katrina, were the most affected by the Great Recession and graduated after it, and one of the most stereotypical Obama young adult voters. Also, I know I’m a hypocrite when it comes to celebrities, but a lot of stereotypical Millennial celebrities were born in 1988. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Lilly Singh, Rihanna, Adele, Kingbach, Jeremy Lin, Shane Dawson, Trisha Paytas, and more.
