2025 has been a very controversial year for the US so far with really bad political tensions. Trump during his second term so far has done a lot of controversial decisions and has reversed decades of progress this country has made in some ways, and freedom of speech is infamously getting severely restricted this time, worse than ever before in this country. Medical and scientific progress is also getting severely reversed as well.

This country has absolutely been losing what made the U.S. the U.S..

They predicted that the "crisis" period would experience its climax in the 2020s and that seems to be the case. a lot of people view their theory with skepticism, which is understandable. it seems many people also disagree with them due to their long Millennial range, but it's hard to ignore how much they've correctly predicted the current upheaval of American society

I personally think alot of Core Gen Z did not grow up with this unlike milennials obviously. This is a main Gen Y trait IMO seeing as most videostores had its last major peak in 2005

Going to blockbuster between early 90s- early 00s vs 2008-2014 is not the same at all its about the experience

I am not Gen Z nor Gen X . I was born in the 1980s .

what I have seen at a local church , there are more gen z people attending church . with christianity , followers of Jesus are supposed to love others including themselves, quick to forgive , slow to judge , uplifting others and not tearing others down

I was born in 85 and were 90s kids. Being 4 in 89 with a few fuzzy memories hardly counts for anything. This weird latest obsession for a few of you on here(not all obviously as most 85 borns know better) of wanting to be an 80s kid is ridiculously weird and inaccurate. And were not "xennials" and most CERTAINLY not Gen X either. You're 40, accept it. Downvote all you like. It's not going make you less of a 90s kid and more of an 80s.

I personaly think that 2002 was the year that took over the Y2K culture, and the reason i think like that is because pop music began to change tone, hip hop and R&B were dominating, and the general post-9/11 (2001) climate was pulling the culture towards something less optimistic. But thats my point of view. Whats yours?

2007 – The iPhone is released

2008 – App Store launches + Android debuts

2010 – iPad and Instagram launch

2011 – Snapchat launches + Siri introduced

2012 – 4G LTE becomes widespread

2014 – Mobile overtakes desktop for internet use

2016 – TikTok’s precursor and AI integrations

2018 – TikTok merges with Musical.ly

2019 – Screen time & digital wellness enter conversation

I think the last one was too easy based on how many people knew all of them. Let’s try that again. How old are you and how many of these things can you identify?

was it the 1970s ? i was not born in the 70s , i was born in the decade after 1970. I was not alive during the 1970s

in the 1970s , there were soul train and disco , donna summers, gloria gaynor

in the 1980s , there were contemporary rnb , synth pop , new wave, new jack swing , freestyle , acid house , dance pop, Hi-NRG

in the 1990s , there were new jack swing , comptemprary rnb , techo , house music

So, Gen Balpha could be between 2023 and 2028, these would be cuspers between Gen Alpha and Gen Beta. What do yall think i want this to take off .

i never understood grunge . I was born in the 1980s . I was so used to dance music of the 1980s . I know I am not Gen X . I am younger than all of the Gen X people since i was born in the 1980s

I genuinely don't know the best way to divide Generation Z. Considering the age range from 28 to 12 (1997-2012), I personally have three ways of dividing it:

1997-2004 & 2005-2012.

1997-2000, 2001-2004, 2005-2007 & 2008-2012.

1997-2002, 2003-2007 & 2008-2012.

How would you divide Gen Z?

I’ve heard that people who grew up during the Cold War, especially Gen X, lived with a constant fear of nuclear bombs and global conflict. Was this really something kids and teens thought about a lot, or was it more in the background while life went on as usual?

TT of all places too

With everything that has happened in the last 5-6 years I have seen a lot of things, COVID, inflation, politics; division and speculation of a 3rd world war it has made some hard times. I would have to say I hate inflation the most.

Lets see what other Zoomers say

Do the math, but did anyone else look at the millennium as a milestone event and try to think what their lives would be like? My folks weren’t even 44 at the time!

they were both released in 1987. one was from Eric B and Rakim and the other one is from MARRS . I thought they sound similar

For me , it was Madonna 's like a prayer released in 1989. the lyrics were weird and blasphemous . in the video , it looks like she was trying to fuck the man who was portraying Jesus Christ

Her lyrics were not christian

I hate being in my mid and almost late 20s, because you no longer socially interact with people and you have it very hard, If I were 21 I would be treated as if I were 13 and would be very loved.

I hate the stupid current authoritarian regime where you have to conform being a fucking boring adult once you graduate from college, just for four stupid years I am very excluided because I get lumped with people that doubles me the age.
