As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I'm trippin or there actually is one.

I'm right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90's. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Supposedly Gen Z due to being from 99.
Don't feel like them though. More like a very young millenial.

Zillenial or younger millenial

Late 70’s.

I'm on the cusp of genZ and Millennial, but I feel much more Millennial. I speculate that this is because of how I related to technology growing up.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who is like me, on the cusp, but feels gen Z rather than Millennial, and why

That might be me. I'm a millennial by age, but I have always been keeping up with the newer tech. My father worked for Microsoft so we always had the new stuff as soon as it was available. And I'm a weirdo little autistic trans girl, so I didn't really socialize that much with my own age group even when it was an option.

No clue. Everyone called me a millennial until they started calling me gen Z.

Young millennial. And yeah, I think it’s not the most stark and clear cut, but older millennials had hope once it was just dashed upon adulthood, gen z grew up with everyone getting that they were hopeless. Us young millennials though, it was awkward as a 13 year old trying to explain to my parents that I was doomed.

But I definitely have more in common with someone a few years younger than me than several years older

I'm from generation "Get those damn kids off my lawn!"

Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can't afford a house, so I'm hitting the stereotypes

Millennial, born in '91

[–] pavnilschanda@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm a cusp Milennial-Gen Z but I identify more with Gen Z values in my country, possibly because I was introduced to computers and the internet at a young age, even in a developing country.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Some websites say I'm a Gen Z while others say I'm a millennial. So a bit of both

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

A big tech transition generation.

X.
