      Same
      Hello fellow… are we considered as gen-zedders or tail end millennials? Because I have friends born in 97 and they are definitely not Gen Z

        Millennials, according to Wikipedia,

        The generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996

        After that is Gen Z and Gen Alpha starts somewhere around 2010.

        So 1997 would be an older Gen Z

          That generational ‘designation’ has been changed so many times it’s not credible.

          Gen X was originally they ‘children of the baby boomers’. If someone was born in 1981, they were young Gen X for most of their life, now they are told they are ‘Millennials’

        I grew up around cousins who were all older than me, so I think I was influenced more by 90s culture than most of my peers. I think you and I are the awkward in-between.

        1997 is a funny birthyear 😀 on one hand you grow up in “traditionell way” and thus you understand older folks who don’t understand new slang but on the other hand you understand the digital natives who grow up with all that attention grabbing BS.

          Yeah, I feel like people born up until around the early 00s still got to experience what life without smartphones & social media was like
