What's the cutoff for being a 2000's kid and why are we stereotyped so much?

For me, I was born in early 03 and consider myself as a hybrid between a 00's and 10's kid but more of a 00's kid. I've lived a pretty normal life so far without too much technology.

But people are constantly saying you have to be born in the late 90's to be a 00's kid when most people still accept 93 as a 90's kid so why can't 03 be a 00's kid?

Also, i'm constantly stereotyped with the "kids are addicted to the internet and don't go outside and don't know what a vhs tape is." group and I don't know why when i'm certainly not like that.

But i'm not gonna lie I'm seeing some 4th and 3rd graders in school with iphones having instagrams and kiks when they aren't even close to being old enough to use it.

Personally, I feel as though i'm a 00's kid who's lived a normal life without that much technology and that people stereotype us for the bad examples set from reality tv shows based on 6-7 year old children acting up. A good example is Super Nanny

Also, I watched alot of 90's and 00's shows as a kid so i'm not that clueless on what good cartoons are.

You were born in 2003? That makes me feel old and I'm only four years older than you (99'er)! But to answer your question, yes you are a 2000's kid, however you probably could consider yourself a 2010's kid too (since you will be 7-12 between 2010-2015).

I can understand why other people born in the Late 90's are claiming this, but to be fair, anyone born before 2004 got to experience the 2000's, so they can consider themselves a kid of the 2000's in my opinion. The cut-off would probably be 2004. 2005 would be a bit of a stretch, but people born then are probably more of a 2010's kid anyway. As for stereotyping, pretty much anyone born in the Late 90's onwards get stereotyped for not having a "proper childhood", even though it's not true.
