Upper end of Gen Z is rapidly approaching their 30s, surely it’s time they start blathering about gen alpha or whatever the next one is

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure I'm among the very oldest of Gen Z and I'm 24 so stop accusing me of being almost 30 lmao

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

The oldest of gen Z is usually cited as ~1996 and sometimes ‘95. So 28-29

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

I thought Gen Z started in 1995 or so ? I’ve always been called gen z and I just turned 28, definitely feeling almost 30 (especially after a long weekend)

The cultural marker I've always heard was if you can remember 9/11 you're a millennial. I was born in 1999 and barely was not old enough to remember 9/11. Someone born in 1995 definitely remembers 9/11.

This only really applies to americans.

We're all living in Amerika!

Well, Americans and people from other places that pay attention to America, which is a lot of places and probably the majority of people reading this.

Er, no. You greatly overestimate the amount that people gave a shit. Children especially didn't give much of a shit. I have memories from 2001, none involve 9/11

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I was born in ‘95 and after talking to my peers no one remembers 9/11 other than people being in a panic. To say we remember 9/11 is an overstatement.

there are definitely 27-28 year old zoomers but the lines get blurred obviously lol

didn't they exclusively complain about millennials until like 2017, when the oldest were approaching 40? generations are over 15 years wide!

but most of us are still teens or early 20s who wouldn't even consider late 20s or middle schoolers in-group even if they technically are
