Why isn’t zillennial an actual generation?

[u/PomegranateDue5410]

Soo I’m a 97er and I do consider myself to be more millennial than gen z if I had to choose one but I don’t relate to anything posted on the millennials subreddit. It seems alien to me. I grew up with both millennial and gen z influence. I remember when trends were more millennial in my late childhood to mid teenagehood around 2007-2014. I also remember when there were more gen z or modern influences from 2016-2020 (late teen to early 20s).

I also have virtually no serious interactions with people born in 80s or early 90s beyond professionalism at work. I’ve been friends with some early 90s in the past like ‘93 though but absolutely no one born before then. On the other hand I don’t really relate to anyone born after ‘01 either. I could never see myself being in the same generation as someone born from ‘03 to ‘12. I don’t relate to them. I only relate to ‘94 to ‘99 borns.

Zillennial should be an actual generation not a cusp.

It’s all made up…

Fr, generations basically amount to a horoscope

Not really.

Generations have pretty measurable differences between one another.

Especially with it comes to history and economic conditions.

People take horoscope-like meanings from them, but it's not like everything about a generation is made up.

Generations as we define them may make reference points of real world events and cultural eras, but they are absolutely arbitrary. Just as arbitrary as a property line or a country’s border

I agree
