I would also add that while this is true the edges of the spectrum of each generation tend to get a little gray. I was born in 2000 and share next to no values or opinions with my fellow zoomers and I'm sure a lot of other people born at the start or end of their respective generations feel the same way.

Exactly. I dont have much in common with older GenX, just mid to late. When people take entire generations and make blanket statements it never works. There's a 15 year age gap and so many differentials to account for.

As someone who was born on the edge of the millennial/GenZ

I noticed in highschool, my year was very similar to the ones above mine, as well as the one directly following, but the ones after that just seemed so culturally different

I honestly think generations should be 5 year sub generations to categorize, I'm no expert but it could probably improve algorithms and stuff

I refuse to be grouped into GenZ

gen z ends in 2009 everyone after that is ipad kids as evidenced by the 6th graders last year (born late 09-10), apparently one for pregnant this year and they were insanely chaotic last year
