r/generationology

Imo I see Gen Z ending in 2015. Obviously this is early and a lot can change. But I'm basing this around covid. In about 2 to 6 years we will see these kids coming online talking about their COVID experiences. Much like the mid and late 90s babies, we will see them talking about who can and can't remember lol.

This is a bit subjective cause a lot of people consider Boomer a "mindset", which I find stupid, but where do you think it was most common?

IMO it’s 1994. I'm not talking about which year is more like the other, I’m talking about like cusp wise like "Making 2010 zalpha or is like making XXXX zillennial."

Sorry for bad wording idk how else to word this.

Am I a xennial? Is this an acceptable generation?

Let's do an exercise together just for fun. Imagine you are going out to a party with a member from each wave of the generations including cusps and lets see how it changes depending on your birth year.

Xennial (1978-1982):

1st Wave Millenial (1983-1988):

2nd Wave Millenial (1989-1994):

Zillenial (1995-1999):

1st Wave Gen Z (2000-2005)

2nd Wave Gen Z (2006-2010)

Zalpha (2011-2015):

I keep seeing a lot of people asking what years are zillennial years and i don't know why any 2000 years are considered zillennial? like I see people with a zillennial range starting in 1999 1999 is barely a zillennial imo. I've seen the reason for making them zillennials/millennials is because they "used to be millennials but imo thats pretty arbitrary. my personal range is 1994-1997 with 1992-1999 at the broadest range. are their any late 90s borns that can give their input cuz Idk most of my friends who are late 90s borns don't consider themselves zillennials.

Pew Bots please do not answer because I know your answer. I think those born between 1st January 1981 and 31st December 1981 are truly the last to be Xennials leaning towards Late X. I think Millennials are people born from 1st January 1982-31st December 1996

Sorry, but that is all anyone seems to argue about here.

Generations are meant to be vague somewhat, that's the whole idea of them. Even Wikipedia are pretty murky in how they define them; in their opening paragraph on article Millennials they say the following "Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years", noting 1981-96 and later 1982-2000 as major ranges. Therefore ... seeing as nobody can quite decide where even the EXISTING generations start/end ... the grey areas where generations meet (= the cusps) has got to be pretty vague, even vaguer than normal generations.

Personally, I would say that the closest you are ever gonna get to defining a cusp - some would dispute that a cusp even exists, but whatever. that's a whole other matter - is by limiting it to the people that can claim either generation, based on what source you are using. Therefore, I would say Zillennials as a label could be claimed by anyone born in the mid-1990s through to the early-2000s (as per the standard definition of where Millennials ends), while Xennials could be claimed by anyone born in the late 1970s-through the mid-1980s. And so on.

I see a lot of people born in the mid-1990s and early-2000s who dislike that they're not always classed as cusp. As a 1999-born, I can see either as peers, thus this means that either one can claim it; nobody has a monopoly on it.

Hope that cleans up the cusp mess for good.

Where I live (Mexico) it is pretty common to see people older than the regular age range of a college student being in college. Most of the students are obviously the regular age in which you´re supposed to go to college (18-22) but it is not uncommon to see people older there (23-30) whether because at 18 they decided not to enter college or because they did enter college at 18 but left it shortly after.

For example, if there are 30 students in a class, it is common that 20 of them are at the normal college age, and the other 10 are in a range of 23-30.

What I have noticed is that people older than 30 prefer to go to the semi-school modality. Semi-school is basically going to your classes on the weekend, instead of going the whole week, you just go friday nights and saturday mornings. In this modality it happens the contrary, there are little 18-22 people there and theres also a good number of 23-30, but most of them are people older than 30. I suppose that it has to do with adult life and responsabilities making it hard to go to college in mid-weekdays but I also believe that not wanting to be with people much younger than them plays a role into them prefering the semi-school modality.

One thing I have to add for this to make sense is that in Mexico there´s no such thing as "student debt". To go to college you don't have to finance it with a debt given to you by the government. Instead, those who can afford it go to college here, if you can't afford it, you simply can't go to college.

2007 was one of my favorite time periods of my life. I remember watching wwe with my brother every Monday night then on Fridays we would stay up and watch naruto, bleach and avatar the last Airbender on a show block called bionix which was the canadian version of toonami here in canada. I would also go on the internet and watch wwe videos on YouTube or go on y8 games and play dragon ball z flash games. I was 5 years old in 2007.

I grew up in the 2000s, culturally speaking I consumed everything from that decade, but when I stop to think about dividing the musical trends of Millennial youth culture into categories I can only divide it this way 1. Britney Spears, Teen Pop, Y2K (1998-2002) 2. Mainstream R&B and Hip-hop (2003-2007) 3. Electropop era (2008-2012) 4. EDM and Start of Zillennial years (2013-2016) In my opinion, youth culture musically speaking of generation z started in 2017, but 2017-2018 there was still a lot of youth culture for millennials, with 2019 in my opinion being the first year mostly gen z, what is your opinion on this? How would you divide music and young popular culture among Millennials? which occurred from 1998/1999 and lasted until 2016(2019 if including Zillennials periods)

I mainly see people consider them as those born in 1998-2005, and while I can definitely see that, what do you think?

Here's mine, feel free to let me know yours. all aunts uncles and cousins are from my mom's side

Am I the only zoomer that doesn't care about the late 90s early 2000s y2k era and that massively prefers early to mid 90s gen x youth culture with east coast vs west coast rap grunge leftover 80s culture in the very part of the 90s shows like home improvement boys meets world save by the bell Super Nintendo sega Genesis etc.
