I feel like us Millennials made mistakes that Gen Z has been able to learn from. It's almost like we received the blows so the next generation can do better and it's a relief that it helped in something positive. Gen Z could've ignored that and made the same mistakes but they came in strong and are doing something life-changing with it. Both are helping each other so I'm hopeful for the future.

[@Vekcrazah]

Basically Millenials took the sacrificial blow for us to know what's up and what to do. But honestly though, mistakes are often the best teacher. But experiences speaks far better than mistakes, and passing down experiences by word and teachings gen to gen rather than experiencing said mistakes firsthand is kinda inefficient, yknow? But hey... i still owe thanks for those guys

[@destinymace]

Baby Boomers were reckless, Gen Y was confused, Millennials are the result, Gen Z the future

[@thehopeofeden597]

I really like Jazzmyne's point about how the difference between Gen Z and millennials is mostly dependent on access. They were cognizant of the Internet as it was growing, but we were cognizant of it by the time it had exploded already. I think it's also significantly less of a gap. Unlike baby boomers to millennials, millennials aren't the parents of Gen Zers. It's typically easier to adopt outlooks and culture from your older siblings than your parents or grandparents, y'know?

[@susancorreia3053]

While I completely agree, I would also like to point out that while I am gen Z, my mom is a millennial. It does happen, just not often.

Gen Z is actually less prone to depression due to having grown up in times of recession and scarcity, and being well aware of it before becoming actual adults.

[@asukoflowers3299]

Gen z is less likely to drop out only because they're seeing the effects of dropping out and parents are not supportive of it Also jobs tend to choose a person with better education and gen z is aware of that while a handful millennials are now just realizing it

Exactly, I always joke about it but I would never drop out of school but people are more likely to hire someone with a better education. Millennials didn’t realize that fast enough.

I think the kids in our generation might remember these kinds of things though: Silly bands Rainbow loom Silly putty Shows on Disney and Nickelodeon like Suit Life on Deck and Wizards of Waverly Place Wii And a whole bunch of other toys that got so popular that got banned from my school 😂 It’s gonna be different though based on the person. Idk it’s an observation I’ve seen as a Gen Zer around your age.

[@elumix2430]

The boom of internet was in 1994 that the reason cos the older sisters and brother were born in 1994, but If you are confused Its ok , babes of 1994,1995,1996 are in the end of a generation this the reason cos someones are confused but depens of your influentions , at the end generally 1994 babes are a GEN Z.

[@Anon-wq9te]

Hunter James Sorry but that’s not how it works. I was also born in 2003 and the first ipod came out in 2001. Depending on who you were most Gen Z kids ended up with ipods, DS, those new smartboards. You can also grow up with Millennial stuff but I wouldn’t say we are different. Gen Z kids are the ones who grew up with technology. Millennials didn’t.

[@MoonSun00]

Millennials years are from the year 1982-2000. You're a pure Gen Z since you were born in 2003, but with a little bit of 90s influence. Gen Z are from 2001-2012

[@drivethrupoet]

Don't allow the marketers to define a generation and make you align to it. The ONLY reason they ever began doing this was to profile and target advertising. No matter our age we all grow with each other and experiences are a lot more similar as described in these comments than we are separated. Except the fish sticks.

[@Tina-zc5mb]

I think this may have worked at some point but it feels like to (born in 04) that Gen z isn't a real generation I mean I got my first phone at the age of 8 while people who are 6 at the moment aslo belong to Gen z got theirs with 3 or even younger. It is really difficult to define when a generation starts or ends. We grew all up with same TV shows but still there are many things that make all the people different. And since things seem to change so fast at the moment in such a short period of time you can't tell who belongs to which generation.

[@JuriAmari]

Exactly. I know enough stuff that I could blend in with gen z pretty well but my birth year is in the millennial range. Generational divides feel so artificial now, especially with the internet. Feels like an excuse to blame and pass on burdens rather than collaborate to make things better.

[@matthalstead7933]

@@Tina-zc5mb I was born 03 and the first phone I got was a Nokia brick when I was like 7 or 8. Alot of kids that where born in the late 2000s and onwards would have had smart phones from ever since they could use one which means there going to be very different to earlier genz.

I was born in 2000 and my brother in '96, but we've always been called millennial's. I feel like Gen Z grew up with technology like iPhones and high speed wifi, while we didn't even get dial up on our Dell desktop until I was nearly in middle school. First cell phone was at 15. Maybe we were just raised like millennial's, but we never really experienced the stereotypical stuff Gen Z did. I heard a term called GenZennial and I think that fits really well for 1996-2002 kids. Like the Xennial GenX+Millennial group.

I want to know the details of the "loneliest generation" survey. Just because I'm curious as to whether it is based on romantic relationships, or just general relationships/amount of friends/rating loneliness on a scale. If it's romantic it makes a lot of sense because most of Gen Z are still fairly young kids, some younger ones aren't even teenagers yet. If it's on amount of friends that is kind of concerning considering most are still in school and would typically be expected to have more daily social interaction than a lot for adults.
