    I don't know, Harry Potter seems just as zoomer to me, if not moreso. The first book came out in 1997 (when a bunch of millennials were already teens) and the last movie was in theatres in 2011/2012. Pretty much every zoomer had their entire childhood constantly barraged by new Harry Potter shit coming out. I bet once shitty news sites have mostly zoomers writing for them this Harry Potter nonsense will get even worse.

      It’s definitely more millennial, we used to go to midnight launch parties for the books lol

        If nothing else, this shows the arbitrary nature of generational cohorts. Get a millennial born in '84 and a millennial born in '94 chatting about Harry Potter and you'll have one person who never read them and doesn't give a fuck and one perfectly timed superfan. Similarly if get two zoomers, one born in '96 and the other in '06, to do the same and you will also get one perfectly timed superfan and one person who missed it completely and doesn't give a fuck.
