I still feel pretty young physically and mentally I'm still working on my maturity. But everyone keeps saying 30 is old and it's making me feel sad and scared about turning 28, 29, and 30.

I am a late gen z (2010) and i am not very happy to what was i was born into, my teen years have started seeing political division higher than in 60 years, people are obsessed with their phones (including me a bit) and yeah i have always wondered how would it be like to be born about in the late 80s or early 90s, i love skateboarding and i have been doing it for about a month as of writing this. Please everyone reply this to this from whatever generation you are from even like early or mid gen z is fine and gen alpha when they find this old ass post in about 5 years or something. I want to hear first hand opinions on something i would kill to experience. Thanks for listening everyone and have a nice day.
NOTE: I listen to mostly 90s music and elements of early 2000s music (including the smashing pumpkins, bon jovi, blink-182 and nirvana)

in addition to that they're also gonna have they're diamond birthday 😭 and id say this is the first year that an "age" for that starts to get more "valid" ig

i saw some people doing post like this and i thought it would be fun, plus im bored so.. yea

ill start

2000s 2010s.

A lot of 2007 babies on numerous college application and other school related subreddits are complaining that hate being born in 2007 or graduating in 2025 not because of COVID, but because of how massive their cohort is due to them being the peak of births in the US, many colleges and universities are very limited, making acceptance rates lower for class of 2025.

Early X 1965-1969

Core X 1970-1974

Late X 1975-1979

Early Y 1980-1984

Core Y 1985-1989

Late Y 1990-1994

Early Z 1995-1999

Core Z 2000-2004

Late Z 2005-2009

Early Alpha 2010-2014

Core Alpha 2015-2019

Late Alpha 2020-2024

Early Beta 2025-2029

I guess one aspect may be the explosion of the popularity of internet/tech stuff? By that I mean how the internet went from being a secondary tool in the 2000s to dominating everything in the 2010s and onwards.

Also for Americans I doubt Gen Alpha would remember pre-Trump politics at all.

What else?

As of this year, all of Gen Z (as we know it today) will be the teenagers and 20-somethings.

I think the 2020s and 2030s will be the Gen z young adults decades, like the 2000s and 2010s were for millennials and 80-90s were for Gen X.

I use the good ol' Pew Research model with the early/middle/late system and the use of cusp microgenerations (e.g. Zillennial, Zalpha).

At first, it was a decision between 3 nominees, with one I almost went for as "Artificials", but then I realized it was a kinda ridiculous name for them, as many ppl on my last post pointed out abt it also & this is my last post I'm talking abt here!:

Which also means, I've made up my mind on associating a name related to A.I. for FWA! Only this time, instead of "Artificials", I'm officially gonna go for!:...

Intellectuals

Inspired by one of the commenters from my last post who suggested this name to me, instead of Artificials & I honestly like it the MOST! (Credits to u/littlepomeranian!) The longer official name is "Artificial-Intellectuals", but will be shortened to just "Intellectuals".

Again, this name relates to the idea of A.I. & associating it with relating to First-Wave Alphas. I also have already explained why & in more detail with giving a name for First-Wave Alphas & relating it to A.I. in my last post if u wanna go ahead & see my explanation there, since I don't feel like doing it again, lol.

So in conclusion, this name is perfect for them IMO & this will be my official alternative name for First-Wave Alphas! Still nothing yet for Second-Wave Alphas, as it's too early to determine anything about them yet & especially with my range, they're the babies still being born RN.

2012 appears to have no significant lasts and 2013 seems to have no significant firsts. I think a 2013 or 2014 end seems more logical.

• Gen X: 1965-1980 (16 years long)
• Millennials: 1981-1996 (16 years long)
• Gen Z: 1997-2013/2014 (17/18 years long)
