Young millennial. And yeah, I think it’s not the most stark and clear cut, but older millennials had hope once it was just dashed upon adulthood, gen z grew up with everyone getting that they were hopeless. Us young millennials though, it was awkward as a 13 year old trying to explain to my parents that I was doomed.

But I definitely have more in common with someone a few years younger than me than several years older

I hate these generational divides. Are we really supposed to think that a person from 1982 and a person from 1994 (both millennials) have more in common than a person from 1994 and one from 1997 (one millennial and one zoomer)? It makes no sense.

If I had to answer, I guess the closest would be Zillenial: born around the mid 90s.

I’m gen X. I definitely feel that Boomers are from a different world. I felt we got a shit deal but that just got worse for millenials then gen Z. To me, I feel like I can relate to generations that followed me. They’re pissed off and they should be.

XXX baby. Raised on internet porn right from whitehouse.com

I’m early Gen Z with a kinda poor family. So I had CRT’s and old VHS but also grew up on the internet.

I feel an extreme gap between me and people a few years younger. I graduated in 2018 so I was some of the last people to have a traditional highschool experience. Before Covid, Zoom, and Chatgpt.

I also mostly grew up with computers instead of phones so Im only just now getting into TikTok, I’ll likely never truly revolve around it like many others (both older and younger than me).

Please don’t, for your own health’s sake. There is nothing of value on that platform.

There’s plenty of value on there! For the CCP, but still.

Lost.

Any “gap” between generations falls into the Lost category.

I think the official term is “Cuspers”

As Millennial as Millennial can be, smack dab in the middle of the cohort.

'93, younger end of millennial.

Not big on generation labels though, they feel like a failed experiment. People are born every day of every year and our experiences overlap in a gradient. They don’t separate into distinct portions.

The baby boom was an actual phenomenon, but every label afterwards feels arbitrary.

I agree that it’s not a useful metric to apply to an individual. “Ok boomer” aside, there is too much variation within a generation for it to be a useful way to draw any conclusions about a single person.

Where generations are useful is in demography. There is no strict dividing line between a lot of kids of demographics, but categorizing them can still give us useful data for studying populations

No clue. Everyone called me a millennial until they started calling me gen Z.

Godric ,

Gen Z, reading the thread I now understand why this platform has an allergy to edgey memes, sarcasm and shitposting not denoted with a /s.

AnarchistArtificer ,

I’m on the cusp of genZ and Millennial, but I feel much more Millennial. I speculate that this is because of how I related to technology growing up.

I’d be interested to hear from anyone who is like me, on the cusp, but feels gen Z rather than Millennial, and why

That might be me. I’m a millennial by age, but I have always been keeping up with the newer tech. My father worked for Microsoft so we always had the new stuff as soon as it was available. And I’m a weirdo little autistic trans girl, so I didn’t really socialize that much with my own age group even when it was an option.

Gen Z.

This place is a lot older than I expected.

Internet generation, progenitors of current online brainrot. Came too early to experience the 90s in all its glory, and too late for running console-quality games on a 6mm thick mobile device.

At least we have the 2010s to claim for ourselves. Those were pretty cool.

I was born in 2001, what does that make me?

AnarchistArtificer ,

Pretty sure Gen Z

That’s so lame 😔 you mean my years of reading books, playing original Pokemon games on java phone, reading Barefoot Gen manga and loving Down the Waterfront were wasted because I came to exist at a time when my entire generation is from Ohio?
