Baby bust :joker:

Waits for the you’re bust insults

Gen Alpha :skull:

Nah. Best to strike 1999/2000 babies off. They’re part of a different world.

Yeah you can't include people born after 1998 as they don't remember a time before high speed internet, smartphones etc.

Plus these are the kids who got their GCSEs in numbers rather than A* to G letters and did all their A-Levels at the end of upper sixth with no AS Levels. Plus their first phones wouldn’t have been a Samsung, Nokia or even a Blackberry. I think 1997/1998 is the last generation that can be considered vaguely old-school.

Gen x and proud.

If you're too young to remember 9/11 you're Gen Z.

It definitely wasn’t a mess for hip hop.

Being a Xennial is the weirdest generation, I swear. A childhood of cassette/VHS tapes, calling your friends on the landline, no mobiles, no internet, 4 channels on the telly (I vividly remember the excitement, and rapid disappointment, of the Channel 5 launch) ... oh, also telly FINISHING at night and playing "pages from ceefax" until the morning, or that static image of the girl and the puppet thing...

...but then, by the end of my teens it was MP3's and (albeit basic) Broadband, and the first iPhone not long after.

Whereas my daughter (10) cannot get her head around the concept of television schedules/broadcast TV at all. Finds it straight-up baffling, has never really encountered anything other than streaming.

So I'm an iGen according to that chart.:think:

So when Millennials get called Snowflakes I don't have to feel offended for myself anymore.:dance::joker:

Being serious though I always thought that I was apart of the Millennials generation, I'd never heard of iGen before.

The book that originated the term 'Generation X' as it is used today.

It's interesting that the same characteristics that are now ascribed to Millennials and Gen Z were once given to Gen X'rs and Baby Boomers.

I were born in 2000 and got A* to G letters for GCSEs, my college did AS Levels and my first phone were a Sony Ericsson love so I don’t think that’s right!

In broad terms it is right though. You’re an exception.

As the song goes every generation blames the one before .. you as a young person try to fight the system and finally you conform and even champion what you used to despise.

My kids were born in different generations 1993 and 1997.

Older Millennials are now called Geriatric Millennials apparently.

I feel old when I hear Generation Z youngers not remembering VHS & Casset tapes
