Do you guys have any questions for gen z?

[Venomstick121]

I believe I am one of if not the youngest member on the forum. Do you guys have any questions for gen z? I have siblings that are gen alpha so I may be able to answer those too. I will attempt to answer every question to the best of my ability.

How are Gen X, Y, Z, and a defined?

My question is -- how do I get to be a generational spokesman? That's gotta be a cool job!

You have my vote.

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

You have my vote.

Hell, I have enough issues speaking for myself, much less anyone else.

"Sir, how would you address a nail standing proud?"
"Ball-peen hammer, flat end, give 'er a couple of whacks and you're good."
"Yes, sir, but how would you address a crumpled fender?
"Ball-peen hammer, round end, with a former on the outside."
"Right -- but what about Mr Putin?"
"Need you ask? Either end, boyo."

gotta be born into it

re

Yes, I figured that, but what birth years are those that separate the different gens?

 

[Venomstick121]

Generation X – born 1965-1980. ...
Millennials – born 1981-1996. ...
Generation Z – born 1996-2012. ..

gotta be born into it

Oh, like a congenital disease. Got it.

Yeah pray for me. I cant stand some people in my generation.

 

[special ed]

1940 is Gen=old. Ask me how I know.

 

[SaparotRob]

Yeah pray for me. I cant stand some people in my generation.

Don't limit yourself. Each gen has plenty of small thermal exhaust ports to call their own.

 

[PNW Guy]

Please explain why Gen Z considers these people stylish and cool.

 

[SaparotRob]

I believe every generation tries to out stupid the previous one.

 

[Marcel]

Okay, I seem to be generation X. Never knew that.

Read something about Gen A that really confuses me. The general birth timeframe for this group is 2010-2024. However, it's also termed "the first generation born entirely in the 21st century."

Now, I realize I'm an old fart with senility that's moving from creeping to galloping...but surely the first child "born entirely in the 21st century" was born at 0001hrs on 1 Jan 2001. I could understand a stretch to, say 0001hrs on 2 Jan 2001 because, in theory, there were some children still being born in the 20th century...but why push the start point out by a decade. What's this "new maths" that makes 2010 the start of a new century?

I'm going to lie down now because I'm feeling VERY OLD!!!!

It's because some people refuse to grow up.

I resemble that remark. I still think £1 is a lot of money...and I get funny looks when I try to buy an Airfix Series 1 kit for 25p.

I dislike the whole generational lumping thing. It's just one more way to shove individuals into some group identity they may or may not share. Opinions, thinking, that stuff doesn't move with any clockwork precision.
