As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I'm trippin or there actually is one.
If you ask me, these generation labels are bullshit and just a way to put people into a stereotypical box and make them an "other". Not much better than astrology.
i just wanted to know your age without invading privacy. a threshold is better than a number
Well, in that case, maybe this is interesting to you. I ran a user survey last year for my instance and anyone else wanting to answer and one question was age. Here's the age group graph:
*removed externally hosted image*
The y-axis is number of respondents, x-axis is age group. Obviously this only applies to the people that responded to the survey and thus might not apply in general to the fediverse, but it's probably an indication. And, well, it's mostly smoothly distributed without any major gaps or humps (slight hump at 30-34 but not sure if that's statistically significant).
But but there is difference in advancements, science, tech Also doesn't mean genz= this Millenials= that boomers!= this
Semi-related anecdote…
During the debates my wife made a joke that Biden is so old he’s not even a Boomer. We then gave each other a look and pulled out our phones to check. Turns out it’s true, he is from the “Silent Generation”.
I think most of his cabinet colleagues wishes he would be.
My parents were too but they were anything but. 1920s and 1940s.
Xenial, I think it's called. I was the youngest, and I was born in 1983. My siblings are Def GenX, and I never quite identified with that group.
I never quite identified as a millennial either, I'm somewhere in between.
Born during the very last month of the previous millennium, but I don't know what generation that is.
Elder Millennial as well, sometimes referred to as a Xennial.
One month earlier, and I would be the tail end of GenX
I hate these generational divides. Are we really supposed to think that a person from 1982 and a person from 1994 (both millennials) have more in common than a person from 1994 and one from 1997 (one millennial and one zoomer)? It makes no sense.
If I had to answer, I guess the closest would be Zillenial: born around the mid 90s.
Supposedly Gen Z due to being from 99.
Don't feel like them though. More like a very young millenial.I'm born in 98' so I'm right down the middle but generally classed as the last of the millennials.
I feel a lot closer to zoomers, but where I'm from, I think the people who have fast-tracked adulthood with kids and mortgages are textbook millennials where as layabouts like myself share a lot more spaces with young adult zoomers.
I'm already needing to remind myself that some of the deepest internet brainrot like skibidi toilet is not a new phrase but a meme of the hour started by generation alpha and then carried by confused millennials.
