As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I'm trippin or there actually is one.

I'm on the cusp of genZ and Millennial, but I feel much more Millennial. I speculate that this is because of how I related to technology growing up.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who is like me, on the cusp, but feels gen Z rather than Millennial, and why

The older, but not the oldest one... Gen-X.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I consider myself an older millennial as people born until the late 90โ€™s are still considered millennials.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Supposedly Gen Z due to being from 99.
Don't feel like them though. More like a very young millenial.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I'm right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90's. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

No clue. Everyone called me a millennial until they started calling me gen Z.

Zillenial or younger millenial

I'm born in 98' so I'm right down the middle but generally classed as the last of the millennials.

I feel a lot closer to zoomers, but where I'm from, I think the people who have fast-tracked adulthood with kids and mortgages are textbook millennials where as layabouts like myself share a lot more spaces with young adult zoomers.

I'm already needing to remind myself that some of the deepest internet brainrot like skibidi toilet is not a new phrase but a meme of the hour started by generation alpha and then carried by confused millennials.

1998 is Gen Z. The cutoff for Millennials is around 1995-1996, and even then people born around that time are more of a Zillennial than a MilleniaI.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Some websites say I'm a Gen Z while others say I'm a millennial. So a bit of both

This separation into "generations" is such bullshit. It's just another way to divide the haves from the have-nots. If you blindly believe that generations define you, you're the problem. You're making it easy to be controlled and find another person to concentrate on while your rights, your liberties, your opportunities, and your privacy get slowly taken away from you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Somewhat elder millennial.

I'm a cusp Milennial-Gen Z but I identify more with Gen Z values in my country, possibly because I was introduced to computers and the internet at a young age, even in a developing country.

Gen Z reporting for duty

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Solidly millennial.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm right at the edge of still being a millennial I think...
