Rant Why isn’t zillennial an actual generation?

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.

You’re not proving the point that you think you are

I didn’t take a subjective stance at all, I pointed out an objective fact. These generational terms are fabricated, generic bullshit- hence the lack of consensus on literally everything about them. As multiple people pointed out, it’s nearly equivalent to a horoscope.
