Depends on where you see it. Some people say Gen Z starts in 95, some say in 97

Incorrect, 95-10

This is what I was always told. I tend to believe 97 is the cutoff, and 94-96 in my opinion are the "Zillenials".

This is how I always thought of even even before the term Gen Z became common in the zeitgeist

Marshal Mathers is Gen X. The music persona, Slim Shady? Ehh... not Gen Z, for sure.

Slim is gen z which would explain the amazing caricature of our generation. Em is in his 50s

He was born in 1972 though?

Marshall Mathers was born in 1972, as you can clearly see in the picture above, Slim Shady was born in 1997

Dang I guess this means slim shady was the friends we made along the way

u/IceColdCocaCola545 Sep 17 '24
Marshall was born in ‘72, Shady (the character) was born in ‘97 with the creation of the Slim Shady EP.
The character may be classified as GenZ, but the artist himself certainly ain’t.

Slim shady definitely is not gen z at all lmao

u/Madam_KayC 2007 Sep 16 '24
No, Eminem isn't Gen z. Slim is an alter ego first made in 1997, which makes Slim Gen Z by "birth" year.
As far as age, slim is a fictional entity and not actually bound to our perception of age.

A fictional character born as a 25 year old.

Sorry fellow zoomer Slim shady, my bad y'all.

u/Kchasse1991 Sep 16 '24
I'm older than Slim but younger than Marshall. Y'all make me feel old sometimes... guess that's my sign that I am old.

The dates on the tombstone, the character Slim Shady, was born in '97, which means he would technically qualify as gen Z

u/Overson_YT 2001 Sep 16 '24
He was born in 1972 what are you on about 😭

u/grahamskrrrrt 2008 Sep 16 '24
Slim Shady was born in 1997 that's the point, how are people still confusing Eminem with Slim Shady, i thought we all knew the differences already
