| According to studies, Millennials are no longer a thing. People of Generation Z are now the new generation for the elderly to complain about. The timeline for a Millennial is pretty much simple enough. If you were born in the 80's to 90's, you're one. However, the timeline for Gen Z starts from 90's to mid 90's all the way up to today. The thing with Gen Z is that the timeline jumps all over the place. This article says it's from anyone born within 1996 to 2013: (http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/move-millennials-gen-z/296577/) This one says while the ones from mid 90's to 2000's qualify, Zers are mostly referred to humans born in the early 2000's to 2020. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z) This link says from 1996 to 2010: (http://www.careerplanner.com/Career-Articles/Generations.cfm) This article states that the defining fact of whether you are or not a Zer is if you remember 9/11 or do not: (http://genhq.com/igen-gen-z-generation-z-centennials-info/) So as I said, the setting for a Zer is sort of confusing so it would be acceptable if you choose which article to believe depending on what generation you want to be in. The one thing that all articles agree with, however, is that all Zers grew up with the internet and electronic technology such as cellphones, tablets and the like. Examples of a Millennial (from my preference): Miley Cryus (1992,23) Daniel Radcliffe (1989,27) Beyonce (1981,35) Kim Kardashian (1980,36) Examples of people of Generation Z: Dove Cameron,(1996,20) Lucky Blue Smith (1998,18) Jaden Smith (1998,18) Asa Butterfield (1997,19) ---->basically any current Disney star So which generation are you from (or choose to side in)? |

| Depending on the source (since years vary) I could be in X or a millennial. Don't give it a lot of thought, because honestly it's not an important distinction to me. When I look at the common 'characteristics' associated with either of them though, I'm more or less split on which I relate to more. |
| I am Generation X. Born in 1970. I over-parent my children, have lots of sex, trust no-one, am bitter because both older and younger generations have left us holding the bag for both of their selfishness. The first generation of kids who brought themselves up because their parents were too uncivilized or too selfish to spend time with us. We are self-reliant to the max. We get on well with a lot of Gen Z, but find millennials to be carbon copy of Baby Boomers we so despise as selfish tree hugging commies. |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |
| I think I qualify in the Generation Z |
| Gen Z. Like the sound of that. Z... reminds me of The Legend of Zoro. Oh yeaa... One question: Wtf is the point of dividing ppl into generations? |
Trance said: Gen Z. Like the sound of that. Z... reminds me of The Legend of Zoro. Oh yeaa... One question: Wtf is the point of dividing ppl into generations? So when you get to be an old person and want to finger wag at someone, You can go "young people these days... people in MY generation weren't like that, etc." |
FontSize72LOL said: Trance said: Gen Z. Like the sound of that. Z... reminds me of The Legend of Zoro. Oh yeaa... One question: Wtf is the point of dividing ppl into generations? So when you get to be an old person and want to finger wag at someone, You can go "young people these days... people in MY generation weren't like that, etc." So, basically, these terms shorten 'young people' and 'My generation' to Gen X/Y/Z so the sentence sounds like: "Gen Z these days.... millenials weren't like that''... Nah. That sounds too impersonal to make for a nostalgic complaint. These terms are useless. 'Young people' and 'my generation' ftw. |
| There's a big argument over this. As far as I'm concerned, "Generation Y" are not millennials. Generation Y starts around 1980, and ends in the early 90s. Generation Y remembers life before the millennium. Around 1994, "Generation Z" starts, and continues until around 2010. Generation Z are the "Real Millennials" because they're too young to remember a time before the millennium, whereas generation Y certainly can. |

| how are kim k and beyonce millenials tho? also real talk but does the whole millenial/gen xyz thing even matter in any other countries except US and UK (myb australia and canada)? like has anyone ever seen this brought up by news outlets in any other country? does anyone give a shit? |

| The thread title sounds like we're about to compare two weird Japanese shmups for the PS1 or something. I'm apparently a member of Generation Z.This type of categorizing is honestly just another way for certain groups to feel superior on the premise of something as mundane as age. |

| X > Y > Z >> Baby Boomers You have been educated such that you now know that Baby Boomers are cancer. |

| I consider myself a Millennial and most people in society would, too. I think the Millennial generation ended in 1995, and I was born in '96, so I missed that generation by one year. Because of that, I guess I am generation Z with lots of traits and characteristics in common with Millennials. |
Rarusu_ said: I'm born almost right in the middle of the 90s, what does that make me? I have a span of friends stretching from 1988 to 2000. I remember Pokemon, Moomin, Digimon, Sailor Moon and all those. My parents are Gen Xs. I remember 9/11 I owned a Nokia and used to play snake all day Deep House > Progressive House Memes Feel the Burn There you have my life if you were born in 1993-4, that would make you an M. plus you remember 9/11 and in one of the sources above state that if you remember it at all you're an M. they were born in the 80's. the timeline for Zers are a little construed but the timeline for Ms are definitely clear. for me a Zer is a kid in their late teens starting from 17 and an adult who's newly reached 20 or 21.

Rarusu_ said: then maybe you're just not americanBut if you were born in 1993 or 94 and don't remember 9/11? tbh the only reason why i remember exactly where i was and what i was doing when i heard about 9/11 was because for a split second i worried my country was gonna get attacked again or something. i didn't even find out what 9/11 actually was until several years later |

| also born in 1998 and im definitely part of Gen Z. |
| Millennials should be called Generation DBZ. Generation Z should be called Generation TITS (Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Snapchat). |

Lorgfyr said: so what generation is the better generation? Most experts would say that the "Pepsi Generation" is the better generation. |
|
| Guess that makes me a millennial ... |
 |
| Fuck gen X, Z and millenial; I consider everyone born from '95 to '97 (and thus myself) to be the "Evangelion generation". |

| Aside from the fact that millennials are not a real thing, your definition of millenials is completely wrong. People who were born in the 80s are not millenials. |

| I was born in 1991 I was 10 years old when 911 happened and remember growing up with dial up shitnet and phones that had green screens and only played snakes. |
 |
| I have never heard any of these terms so I came here with the impression that the Z was somehow related to DBZ lol... |

Spooks said: I vaguely remember having either one of these haha. I was born in 1991 I was 10 years old when 911 happened and remember growing up with dial up shitnet and phones that had green screens and only played snakes. And then I remember sony ericsson being the next big thing whereas I had this Wasn't even a bad phone tbh. Much better than this Nokia for life. |

| Generations are inherently arbitrary, so there's not much use in getting caught up in the details. Generational thinking is only useful for answering general questions about how the population is changing, like "What are the differences between growing up before or after the internet?" etc. AnnoKano said: That's how the term millenial is often used here. Early 80's to late 90's. The name is a bit confusing, but I think the logic is that millenials "grew up" around the turn of the century.Aside from the fact that millennials are not a real thing, your definition of millenials is completely wrong. People who were born in the 80s are not millenials. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| I'm definitely a millennial. 1994 so not FAR off gen Z, but I'd say I'm more of a millennial in terms of attitudes and experiences. Also I remember 9/11 quite clearly. |
| Talk shit to me and so help me fucking god, I'll come over there and do absolutely nothing. |
Rarusu_ said: Interesting though is that millenials seem to be more Conservative than baby boomers or Gen X. They are more like their grandparents in that case. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/07/health/millennials-conservative-generations/ That's true, but not the entire picture. It shows that those leaning left is largely unchanged, while the right saw a single digit % increase, but the largest change is those that identify as independent among the millennial generation rose by 20%, and far far fewer were 'undecided' in comparison to x. |
Rarusu_ said: I'm born closer to 1995. But if you were born in 1993 or 94 and don't remember 9/11? Or if you were born in 1996 and do remember 9/11? i remember yet another article that stated that the years for Ms is 1980 and stopped right at 1995, so i think you still qualify as one. AnnoKano said: Aside from the fact that millennials are not a real thing, your definition of millenials is completely wrong. People who were born in the 80s are not millenials. it's not my mouth saying that: it's the sources that say that. and they're right anyway. |

| Hmm well I'm an M (1987) but my parents were all super ahead of the curve or whatever and so we had some of the first computer/internet, etc.. so I don't really remember a time without internet etc.... That said I feel like I was "barely" always in a world of all online, etc... if I was a single year younger or my parents weren't what they were I think that would of transformed a lot of things in terms of my personal viewpoints, etc... it was kind of like there was this highly artificial word that I just barely experienced dying. Kind of like being born in a bar after a shootout or something and the bodies and blood is there but everyone is like "Oh no, it's fine, we're all friends here." And your like... really? Cause- and theyr'e like "Yep, everything's fine, world peace." So I guess what I'm saying is I think I get this idea.. but honestly I would be surprised if a lot of people in the 1990-95 range didn't qualify in terms of having no memory etc of a non-online world etc. |

| You know they haven't quite come out with a standard name nor date to go off of yet OP, right? Marila said: That's what they (different sources) use to say, don't know anymore--maybe they'll just get lazy and lump Y into Millennial, and Z will turn into Alpha.I was born in 1989, so I think I'm probably Gen Y. |

| I was born in 1996 so I guess I'm Gen Z but everytime I see something related to millennials I really relate to it for the most part. I do remember 9/11 but I didn't fully understand it until years later. I personally like millennials better I find most people from Gen Z annoying as most of them are obsessed with these retarded Vine videos and stuff. I've seen other sites saying that Milleniials rang into the mid 2000's though http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/03/here-is-when-each-generation-begins-and-ends-according-to-facts/359589/ |
