      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

        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

        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

      All of this generational labeling shiy is just horseshit to divide us, who even cares. We might as well start advocating to execute everyone on their 30th birthday.

      Honestly, who even knows?

      I just started treating generational war shit like horoscopes. I read this and was like “omg I’m such a Gen Z.” I read the ankle sock article and thought, “I’m definitely a millenial.” When I read about Zoomers being depressed about the world and not seeing any point to typical societal expectations and I’m like “I’m a Zoomer, no cap.” It’s all vibes.

      12-28, so average age 20. but still includes all teens

      i think people at the cusp are kinda in between gens so 26-28 are more zillennial and 12-14 are more zalpha
