As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I'm trippin or there actually is one.

It's not an exact definition, but below I think is close:

Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (18 years)

Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (15 years)

Millennials (Gen Y): Born 1981-1996 (15 years)

Generation Z: Born 1997-2012 (15 years)

Generation Alpha: Born 2013-present

What you're saying doesn't line up with this at all, but maybe you have other generation dates in mind.

And look at all the other dates others are giving me. They're not the same as yours. THATS my point. No one actually agrees on the dates and at this point, it's expanded to include other generations.

Yet I have 10 different people spouting different dates and all telling me I'm wrong. None of you see that you're the exact point I was making. Everyone tries to shove in some extra years before or after.

Which is exactly why I qualified it saying it's not exact. What dates are you using? You must be using something to say that Millennials are 25 years while the others are 10. That's MY point.
