WOTY candidate: "millennials"

[Grant Barrett]

I first noted it a year ago, but it goes at least as far back as 1991:

1991 Washington Post (Feb. 24) "The 'Constellation' of 1991; Who We
Are Depends On Who We Used to Be" p. B4: But rising Millennials will
be encouraged to build more than reflect. By the time today's infants
reach age 30, spiritual energy will be the province of the old, not
the young.
