Thanks! I'm going to sound really old now, lol, but what is a "Zoomer"? Is that the same thing as Gen Z? Edit: Wikipedia says it is. What a funny term. Wonder

Thanks! I'm going to sound really old now, lol, but what is a "Zoomer"? Is that the same thing as Gen Z? Edit: Wikipedia says it is. What a funny term. Wonder if it comes from a play on Boomers or from growing up with Zoom through the pandemic?

It is a portmanteau of Boomer and Generation Z, though many assume it has to do with zoom, which causes much eye-rolling from Gen Z.

  I'm pretty sure our very existence causes much eye-rolling from Gen Z, lol. It was hard enough growing up as a Millennial at the dawn of the internet. I can't imagine what it's like being born into today's world. Our information superhighway seems to have led straight into their digital dystopia.

Both. But yes, "zoomer" refers to teenager.
