Generation Z is making waves that have, not as yet, been fully realized by the business world.
Today the Gen Z is getting even more in the workplace and that's changing peoples perception of anime in the workplace,it's not uncommon a casual discussion between two grown up adults about anime anymore, but 10 years ago when Gen X dominated the workforce,anime discussions were considered to be a shame,Japanese cartoons,something only for NEETS or completely unknown for the avarage Joe.
What are your experiences with your generation or other generations when bringing anime in a discussion? Wich Changes do you think the gen Z will bring in the workplace when they get fully graduated? Do you have faith in the next generation?

Edit:Millennial characteristics vary by region,it would be impossible assimilate every region's generational standards in one thread.

-Generation Z, as they have been coined, consist of those born in 1995 or later.
-Millenials consist of those born in 1980 to 1992 by Strauss–Howe generational theory, a book on the subject of generations and widely credited with coining the term Millennials.

Alpha generation or neo-digital generation ,they're too young to define our society.

More like I'm late Gen Y, I ain't into this "early gen z" shit.
Cutoff date for Y should be 1996 or 1997.

I'd like to know where the dates for the generations came from. Because I'm always being told I'm a millenial, since I was born in 95.

Honestly though, the "Generation _" thing is a really bad lens. I don't think everyone can be placed under the umbrella of "Millenial" or "Generation X" and that will define how they think, feel, and live.

With that being said, I don't have faith in my peers. Neither do I have faith in the previous generations, or the ones that will follow after me. I'm only worried about things I have control over in my own life. It's simpler that way.

(Millennial here)

Do I have faith in Generation Z? Hell no. We're already at the start of the sixth mass extinction due overpopulation, deforestation, desertification, human induced climate change, ...

I don't bring up anime in discussion as it's associated with either Naruto/other popular shonens or weirdness. Pretty much no point in doing that
What changes will it bring? Well I wouldn't mind having warmer view on anime. Other than that I have no idea.
Do I have faith in this generation? Hard to tell, it has its pros and cons just like everything. Impossible for me to predict anything. I think it's good that "my workplace is my everything and you should work 50 years in one place" mentality is gone tho.

young people in general make me feel uneasy.
we’ve reached a point in society where we believe anything is possible, even if it makes us seem delusional.
no longer are we attached to ideals and ethics, but rather dopamine.

Millenials are 1982-2000
You don't get a generation in the span of less than 18 years.
12 year olds aren't having kids, early gen Z is not a thing.
What you call "early gen Z" is still a millennial.

I mean, the whole reason it is called "millennial" is because it runs up to the 2nd millennium.

The whole separation into generational divides is also a problem. It creates a divide and stigma that people can prey on.
Instead of focusing on what makes us different, why not focus on what unites us, what makes us the same?

Steroids, as in a drug culture where people speak nothing but the thing that they are fond of? I don't like this generation stereotype as it's already a bias treatment towards those who are of different age.

Millennial birthdates varies, depending on the country,but generally 1993 or 1995 are the most acceptable cutting ages to define a Millenial and a Gen Z,this range makes Millennials 5 to 20 years old at the time of the 9/11 attacks, so "old enough to comprehend the historical significance.",the term Millenial originated because the high school graduating class of 2000.
Some countries use the term for every kid born from early 1980s to early 2000s.
Where i come from the Millenials birth years are 1980 to 1992.

Gen Z are children of Gen X, Millenials are children of the Baby boomers.The Silent Generation are grandparents to Gen Z. Nowadays there's a generation between a generation and its parent generation.
Then we have "cuspers" between every generation, and they are what op calls "early gen Z". There are no exact point in time when you can say "here we have a new generation at this date". Those born between 1992 and 1998 can be either a.Millenial or Gen Z:er, depending on their own circumstances. Which generation do their parents belong to, do they hang out with younger or older kids, etc. But if you are born in 1989 you are definitely a Millenial and if are born in the year 2001 you are definitely a Gen Z:er.

im a millenial but a NEET due to disability but all im gonna say is good luck to Gen Z kids since there is too much perfectionism being promoted in society today that if you fail then you are a loser already, much of your history online can be doxxed and be turned against you too killing your potential employment and the job market is tough for young people like you will hear news that youth unemployment and underemployment are high worldwide

Right there. That's why I have a hard time.
Like I give a shit about talking about anime at work. Seriously? How is this even remotely close to being important?

Uhm. What the f. I think you need to worry less about anime in the workplace, and worry more about, I dunno. Work?

Sorry if that's a bit harsh, but holy fuck batman, anime culture in the workplace in the same sentence as graduation, and faith in next generation...
No, I have a hard time having faith in that type of generation. I trust that they will grow up, eventually, and realize that work is work, and play is play.

Gen X btw.

No,
Gen X are the children of Baby Boomers and Millenials are the children of Gen X and Gen Z are the children of Millenials.

I have no idea where you heard that, but generations have nothing to do with graduating classes.

No,
Gen X are the children of Baby Boomers and Millenials are the children of Gen X and Gen Z are the children of Millenials.

X:er's are roughly those born 1962 - 1980, and the average age for women to have her first child has been between 27 to 32 years of age. On average, the children of X:er's are born between 1990 - 2011. Not between 1980 - 1995 or 2000. It's far too early. Millennials are currently at the height of their baby-making.

Depends on who you ask it is kinda debating we will have a clearer idea by the time 10 years goes by as to what the masses have agreed on is the cut off for millennial's.

Future generations will be more connected than ever before, and at the same time will actually value the real interactions they do get and will be some of the first generations to never attempt to climb corporate ladders as a result of not wanting a carrier and wanting to find a fun job but at the same time a result of a lack of money to afford mobility.

Many of those born at least in the United States recession have different views on such depending on if they were a 2007 graduate or a 2009 graduate in college some studies show.

Despite all the hate of the 60s generations( in some places) many of these people wanted to change their government and we wish to do the same. Millenials and this Generation Z's also tend to be more for civil rights and same sex relationships but are also lacking purpose and depression and obesity rates are going up.

These generations may be tech savvy, social, and liberal but health and mentally they won't be.
