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.

Young millennial. And yeah, I think it’s not the most stark and clear cut, but older millennials had hope once it was just dashed upon adulthood, gen z grew up with everyone getting that they were hopeless. Us young millennials though, it was awkward as a 13 year old trying to explain to my parents that I was doomed.

But I definitely have more in common with someone a few years younger than me than several years older

Late 70’s.

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.

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

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

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Penguincoder@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Legendsofanus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was born in 2001, what does that make me?

I'm from generation "Get those damn kids off my lawn!"

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can't afford a house, so I'm hitting the stereotypes

End of Millennial or first of Gen-Z, although I feel a lot more like Gen-Z.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Somewhat elder millennial.

[–] pavnilschanda@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gen Z reporting for duty

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

I don't wanna be gen z... pls
