I watched it and it honestly is pretty cool, kinda catchy and funny and reminiscent of some steam orange box edit from 15 years ago

The youtube comments are full of ~20 year olds complaining about it though (probably mostly ironically but still)

IMO the Z/Alpha split doesn't make any sense at all. With Boomers/Gen X it makes sense because one grew up in postawar America and got to prosper and the other grew up in Neoliberal America and didn't, Millenial vs Gen Z makes sense as a distinction because the Internet became big while Millenials were already established but Gen Z grew up with Web 2.0 totally dominating their lives, but what, exactly, is the dividing line between Gen Z and Alpha? Nothing, they're the same generation, it's just kids who don't like something telling the kids who like it that their taste is bad.

The split should be between pre-Covid and "post"-Covid, so your oldest alpha is like 7. And this is only partially effective because society has collectively decided to pretend Covid didn't happen, so it's not a very significant demarcation.
