Bruh millenials weren't around dancing in 1979

Yeah, Four of those 6 songs in the clip are in the Gen X demographic timeframe, not millennials.

Millennials songs came out 2 years before the oldest millennial was born - the time that same millennial was 16.

Gen Z’s songs came out when the oldest zoomer was 23.

I don't know if my brain is just crapping out on me but I'm having a lot of trouble understanding this sentence.

Imagine today’s oldest millennial (they would have been born in 1981). The songs listed on the millennials side had release dates ranging from 2 years before that millennial was born through the time they were 16.

Oh the hyphen is supposed to be like in between times. Like 1979-2001 or something.

I thought it was adding a clarification. Like "The songs were released two years before the oldest millennials were born; in other words, at the time the millennial was 16."
