Isn't Gen Z mostly adults now?

[-] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 4 months ago

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

[-] booty@hexbear.net 16 points 4 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

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

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

[-] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 4 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)

[-] booty@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

We're all living in Amerika!

[-] booty@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 3 points 4 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

[-] HexBeara@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

30 y/o 'millennial' here, loving the panik of 'gen z' realizing time only marches forward and that they'll be 'chuegy' too. sicko-jammin

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Can I get grandfathered in or do I have to bring myself in?

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Fuck you. Fuck you for saying that. Let me live in my bubble where we don't count the time since the year 2000 in decades.

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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
