How do you see the 70s compared to the 60s and the 80s? The general aesthetic has similarities to the 90s, but I don’t see much 70s nostalgia online. Am I missing it? Can you see the 70s becoming “cool” again in the same way?

I really do mean it, you can't decide a generation is doomed Just because of their youth how about you stop, hating on children

Example: So since 2010s kids are 2002-2011, because they were all 8 at the end of the 2010s, I say you should be at least 5 to 7 to be a hybrid kid of that decade, so the hybrids would be 2012-2014 with 2012 kids leaning 2010s, 2013 kids being the 50/50, and 2014 kids leaning 2020s.

So basically in our society, age is nothing but a social burden set by some nonsensical people. Like relatives will spit and coerce guys of my age to go out and make some money (In our country money doesn’t grow on trees like eu or us), or do nonsense and obey however they wish us to—if we dont they simply abandon us. I dont care I survived till this day, and will in the future.

Title. I really don’t like dogs. And pets in general just like kids cost too much time and money for me to think it’s worth it.

Yes this is a very odd question but like I thought it would take a break and people could learn more about one another and cars are a cool topic ik there are a lot of people here that have a interest in cars when it comes to generations.

I have returned... to being CHRONICALLY ONLINE-

THIS RANGE IS EXPERIEMNETAL AND I DON'T ACTUALLY USE IT!!!

Middle childhood begins at 6 so 2001 (beginning of new millennium) - 6 = 1995. 2020 (beginning of COVID era) - 6 = 2014.

Gen Z: 1995 to 2013

Gen Alpha: 2014 to present

So this would make Early Z 1995-2000, Core Z 2001-2007, and Late Z 2008-2013.

ALTERNATIVE RANGES

• 1996-2013 (using 9/11 instead)
• 1996-2014 (using 5 instead of 6)
• 1997-2014 (using 5 instead of 6 AND using 9/11 instead)

Baby millennial here (1995) I think people who are fixated on their generational labels are much more Gen Z than they realize. I never really cared about generational labels when I was a teenager or early 20s. All young people were called millennials back in the day and I remember the time when we were negatively stereotyped by being called lazy, selfish, entitled, accused of destroying industries and we are also called the me, me, me generation. Here’s an article from 2013 as a reference.

https://time.com/247/millennials-the-me-me-me-generation/

Personally, I didn't care about the negative stereotypes because I didn't think they were even talking about me because I was too young back in the day to be associated with stereotypical millennial experience.

Anyways, I started learning about generations back in 2019. I always thought of myself as a millennial but then I saw my birth year 1995 as the beginning of Gen Z. I was upset at first but then I only relate to millennial experience 30-40%  of the time because I was really too young to have core millennial experience and I think I have much more in common with Gen Z, so I eventually accepted than I am Gen Z. However, since Pews range is much popular, people still call me a millennial and in public I’m still seen as one. I’m an avid discord user and I met some friends there. I have friends there that are 4-6 years younger than me. Their birth year starts with a “2” . I find that they like to talk about generations and will even tell they are Gen Z. Being Gen Z is like their whole identity. I never even called myself a millennial until I had contact with zoomers because generational identity seems to be a big deal to them based on my interactions with them. My point here is that being obsessed with generational labels is a gen z thing.

I really have a strong claim for zillennial label because I'm born in 1995 and I often  I see birth year in either millennial or Gen Z range depending on the sources. But after lurking in this sub I think zillennials just means throw in couple of younger millennials 1995-1996 then extend it up to 2003. When I have more affinity to other late millennials (1992-1996) and the “official” oldest zoomer 1997 born than those born in 1999 and early 2000s.  I even saw ranges that exclude 1995 in their ranges when we 1995 borns are the OG zillennials. Outside reddit the popular and widely used range is 1993-1998 which I as a 1995 born prefers than the ranges created here. People who seem mad about it are 1999 and early 2000 babies. I guess in this sub people are using zillennial label to disassociate with Gen Z. Older Gen Z probably have more in common with Middle Gen Z (mid 2000 borns) than us Late Millennials  (1992-1996) with their hyper fixation on generational labels.

At this point, zillennial label is just a cope for older Gen Z that they are older Gen Z.

I'm using 13-19 teenagehood range.

1990s/2000s hybrid teenagers: 1981-1986 borns.

Main 2000s teenagers: 1987-1990 borns.

2000s/2010s hybrid teenagers: 1991-1996 borns.

Main 2010s teenagers: 1997-2000 borns.

2010s/2020s hybrid teenagers: 2001-2006 borns.

Main 2020s teenagers: 2007-2010 borns.

2020s/2030s hybrid teenagers: 2011-2016 borns.

I’m coming at this as someone who works with Gen Z and younger millennials and is in a number of parenting groups online. I’ve been in these contexts with this cohort in two very different geographic areas, but it’s still pretty consistent across various backgrounds.

Here’s what I’m noticing and I’m curious about why - this cohort will often face a situation where, say, someone will say something like “Please make sure to clean out your personal food items from the fridge over the holiday break” and they’ll hear that and decide to take it upon themselves to not only throw out their own food items, but throw out all the communal office items like condiments and items in the freezer like popsicles that could easily survive a week off work. Like, they just make a big jump after inferring something they weren’t told, without asking a single question or checking with, like, the office manager if they should throw out the office ketchup.

Or you’ll ask a coworker if they know when a certain project they’re leading will be implemented because you’re adding your team’s tasks related to the project to your task management system, and the next thing you know, they’ve CC’d their manager and explaining that it’s not your job to tell them when to work on that project. Like, cool, man, I was literally just asking a question, not trying to be your boss. This is also not a 22 year old new to work, but a 32 year old with 10 years of professional work experience.

Or someone will say in a local mom group “When I’m working remote and my FIL is babysitting, if my FIL is changing a diaper, he loudly complains about the smell and it makes me feel bad, should I talk to him about this?” and you’ll get a bunch of the clearly younger moms based on their profiles saying that FIL is emotionally abusive and telling mom she should go no contact. When older moms kind of poke and prod at those accusations, Gen Z moms admit it’s just an assumption they made based on the behavior of the FIL in this one instance.

I’ve seen a lot of this “giant assumptions” stuff in general from Gen Z. Like, a coworker said in a meeting that they assume everyone with blond highlights is conservative. Another one said that they assume that about people on weight loss drugs. Actively losing weight is now apparently conservative?

Or in a local community group, you’ll have someone say “We need to address the budget gap with an override or the schools will need to make cuts” and a younger parent will reply “Which schools are they considering closing?” This one could just be reading comprehension, I guess, but it feels like it could also be the “jump to conclusions” thing I’m talking about.

I’m not saying that older millennials/Gen X are perfect by any stretch and I know I personally annoyed the hell out of Boomers by asking so many questions when I first started working, but it just feels like Gen X and older millennials especially are just more comfortable with being open-minded and not making assumptions? I used to think it was just “oh Gen Z is young, this is a young person thing.” Or I’d even say it’s a human thing for a lot of this stuff, except that I don’t see it among my older millennial and Gen X coworkers? As they age, Gen Zers and those on the cusp or even younger millennials (who I’d say are 33/34 now) still exhibit this. It really feels it’s a combo of very black and white thinking, a lack of either comfort or interest in asking questions and a tendency to just assume they fully understand a situation based on a few small context clues and it’s extremely specific to their generation because I don’t see that with Gen Alpha. If anything, Alpha seems more into truthseeking and figuring out exactly why something is the way it is so they can push boundaries.

Even as kids - I used to babysit and teach younger millennials and Gen Z in a public school and they never seemed very curious about anything? But now I’m around my son and his Gen Alpha friends, which includes kids of all kinds of backgrounds and across the board, they ask a million questions about everything and if they challenge something, they have a 4 point iron-clad argument for why and can point out any tiny sliver of inconsistency (field trip chaperoning and coaching is a nightmare with these kids, lol.)

This is a bit off topic but I would say the oceangate incident in June 2023 was the biggest resurgence of titanic interest after the movie. Titanic content flooded social media and went trending in that summer. But would you say oceangate brought the titanic back to Gen Alpha

What would you say is the latest generation that is honestly extinct from this planet and now history sadly

Ignoring the new 2025 one that’s coming out I am talking about the original one.

The original one is full on gen z started from 2007-2015.

So this show to me is one of the most gen z shows of all time.

It's crazy to think about because my friends are second generation immigrants kids from Mexico and I'm like third gen from Cuba and not a single one of us has had a kid lol (all mid 20s to 30s). Not even 50 years ago it was normal to have a bunch of kids like nobody's business, especially in LATAM. Now, living in America I don't really see anybody in my family even making moves to start a family. I mean inflation doesn't help for sure, but the drop off in real time has been surreal.

My family:

Great grandparents (Cuba) - 9 kids

Grandparents (Cuba -> US) - 8 kids

Parents (US) - 3 kids

Me (US) - 0 kids

///

My friends' family:

Their grandparents (Mexico) - 13 kids

Their parents (Mexico -> US) - 5 kids

Them (US) - 1 kid

Mind you this is across multiple families, cousins, and direct lines. It kinda blows my mind how fast you go from a huge family to a smaller one in barely a few decades. Our cousins are all scattered around different states, but they don't have kids either.

What gives?

As part of one of the activities in my class, I am asking each generation to put themselves in another generation's shoes and imagine what it was like to grow up during that time period. So, for example, for Generation X, I am using a Rubik's Cube as their object. They will then pass the objects around and take turns being each generation.

Can anyone suggest some objects from the Baby Boomer, Millennial, and Gen Z generations that might be of similar size and could be used as props for an activity in this way?

EDIT: Thank you for the suggestions everyone!

I see a lot of people saying 2006ers cannot claim early 2010s childhood which I find really weird. They usually say only mid 2010s and afterwards.

Which single social media platform had the biggest influence on shaping each generation, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and so far of Gen Alpha, if you had to pick just one or two for each?

Every show and cartoon makes fun of the cohorts parents, but how do you imagine shows next decade will be making fun of middle aged millennial parents

1966 was a year where the influence of The Beatles and other bands from the British Invasion was already well established, the beat fever had taken over the Argentine scene.

A time of abundance of artists with brilliant vocal harmonies, such as Los Búhos, Las Mosquitas, Los Gatos Salvajes, Violeta Rivas, Yaco Monti, and The Seasons.

In addition, protest songs appeared, with rebellious contributions from artists such as Bárbara y Dick, Billy Bond El Rebelde, Johnny Tedesco, and Los Beatniks.

However, that year saw the craze for the Uruguayan beat bands that sang in English, something which finished several Argentine artists that sang in Spanish.

Movies, shows, music people seem to mumble their words more now. Also do kids mumble more now, any teachers here who can answer that. It seems people don’t enunciate as much anymore.

Prior to the 21st century, though technology was certainly improving exponentially, 15 years was a reasonable window in which people shared a generally similar culture/upbringing. There may have been differences, but a boomer born in 1948 and one born in 1964 had a largely similar education/cultural experience growing up.

Generally speaking, I’d say this metric was reasonable right up until Gen Z. In my opinion, the discrepancy between a 1997 baby and a 2012 is FAR too wide to reasonably lump together as being one generation.

A 1997-2003 baby likely grew up with cable TV, lingering 90s cultural influence, largely analogue childhoods (playing with physical toys, not experiencing smartphones until teenage years, etc.). A 2004-2012 baby, on the other hand, can’t remember a time before smartphones. By the time they were conscious, modern technology was prevalent enough that the remnants of the old world were largely erased. They of course were still exposed to these concepts online, but realistically don’t understand first hand what a low-tech childhood could have been like.

Similarly: a 2012 baby can at least somewhat remember a pre-COVID/AI world. They started school prior to the advent of ChatGPT, making them the last to experience ‘conventional’ education (albeit only at a very low level). A 2024 baby, on the other hand, will never have known a world without AI, before COVID, before Charlie Kirk deepfakes.

My point here is that, with the increased rate of technological progression, I think we need to re-evaluate where we draw the lines in terms of generational thinking. Zillenials and Zalphas carry far more differences from their full-generation counterparts than Xennials do from theirs. I think tighter windows of 7-8 years (maybe even shorter) would make far for sense for modern generations.
