Just a generation of hustlers, mowing lawns and babysitting.

  Well they're very active convincing me to buy things for them... and by extrapolation, I assume many other parents or households are influenced by Gen-Z habits today, too. Very distinct from Millennials, and with real purchasing power, globally.

  I'm fascinated by generation Z. I wonder what comes next.

    If it's anything like named storms[0], Generation Alpha. I'd also like to go on record as saying that all of the recent generations are just poor imitations to the original letter generation, Gen X. We complained about lack of decent jobs, debt, and emptiness the wealthy, long before you kids, and we did it better music too. You're welcome.

Not sure why you were downvoted. It depends on which classification you look at, but yes, the oldest end of Generation Z is still in high school right now. Thus most of the trends you'll see for them are what's popular with the teen and younger demographics.

That was my initial thought. The linked slideshow in a sibling comment "cleverly" defines "millennials"[m] as born 1980-1995 (with a 2 year overlap of how it defines "GenX") and "GenZ"[z] as born 1996-2010. I guess that makes 2010-2025 the singularity generation (can be conveniently adapted to mean "those that grew up with the singularity", "those that were adults when the singularity happened" and "the first that lived to see the singularity"). As a side note, I think "GenZ" is also the generation that has grown up with zombies being a mainstream, core mythology. So perhaps it's an appropriate name.
