Gen Z are born after the Millennium. Millennials are born before the turn of the .... wait for it... Millennium. Not sure what editors and publishing houses are trying to push this Gen Z narrative, but it's just not true. Not a single Gen Z is in Congress yet. Generations are subjective and we can't let these people cement a fucked up incongruency into our culture cause they think it's politically beneficial.

> Gen Z are born after the Millennium. According to a quick search of various sources, Gen Z starts from 1997 as the article states, not after the millennium. Gen Z is in the news cos they're starting to cement their power as the largest voting bloc, taking over from the baby boomers.

  Yes, I'm well aware of what the "sources" are saying and it's bullshit mindfucking on a grand scale. Another, as I said, incongruency to create cultural confusion. Generations are subjective. Gen Z is only 22 years old at this point. That's it.

    I aggree this is some nonsense perpetuated by self serving blow hards who build nothing but narratives.

      Of course I do. Mine. That's how subjective delineations work. But, you're welcome to simply accept what "Millennial" implies instead of just allow yourself to be spoon fed some idea that a 2 year difference is necessary in defining Millennials from Zoomers.

  "Most folks" - no. Most folks take the plain meaning for what a Millennial is and don't give a damn what the media is trying to corrupt in our cultural conscious.

    Most folks – yes. By your definition Donald Trump is a millennial because… wait for it… he was born before the turn of the… waaaaaait for it… millennium. Language often evolves in seemingly unintuitive ways (e.g. lunch), there's no "corrupt in our cultural conscious" going on. Someone born in the early 80s is going to have much less in common (especially in terms of technology) with someone born in the late 90s. By 1997 the oldest millennials were starting to have kids who would very clearly not belong under the heading "millennial".

      It wasn't a definition it was a clarification on a limit. Your bad faith engagement is just argumentative. If you truly think the 2 year exclusion of 1998 and 1999 is necessary for Zoomers to be properly categorized then you'll have to provide more than simply the argument that some Millennials were past puberty. The youngest Gen Xers will still graduating high school in 1997. Please stop being argumentative because you see an opportunity to confront someone using sarcasm.
