    I'm pretty sure I'm among the very oldest of Gen Z and I'm 24 so stop accusing me of being almost 30 lmao

      I thought Gen Z started in 1995 or so ? I’ve always been called gen z and I just turned 28, definitely feeling almost 30 (especially after a long weekend)

        The cultural marker I've always heard was if you can remember 9/11 you're a millennial. I was born in 1999 and barely was not old enough to remember 9/11. Someone born in 1995 definitely remembers 9/11.

            Well, Americans and people from other places that pay attention to America, which is a lot of places and probably the majority of people reading this.

              Er, no. You greatly overestimate the amount that people gave a shit. Children especially didn't give much of a shit. I have memories from 2001, none involve 9/11

          I was born in ‘95 and after talking to my peers no one remembers 9/11 other than people being in a panic. To say we remember 9/11 is an overstatement.
