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.
Boomer. We were looksmaxxing before it was cool in Ohio, fr fr, no cap.
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

Very tail end of Gen X.
Literally dozens of us
Same. I like the term “Xennial” for those of us who were born I’m the early 80s. I definitely feel like I am both X and Millennial sometimes.
Gen Z reporting for duty
Nice try fed, won’t get me on a census that easily
Some websites say I’m a Gen Z while others say I’m a millennial. So a bit of both
Semi-related anecdote…
During the debates my wife made a joke that Biden is so old he’s not even a Boomer. We then gave each other a look and pulled out our phones to check. Turns out it’s true, he is from the “Silent Generation”.
Supposedly Gen Z due to being from 99.
Don’t feel like them though. More like a very young millenial.Geriatric millennial checking in from 1983.
I like the “Oregon Trail generation” name someone mentioned earlier too, I might lean into that one more in the future. Remember playing Math Blaster on an Apple Mac Classic in elementary school computer lab? Then you were there too!
Ditto though '84
Same year!
Mavis Beacon teaches typing. BBSs. Cassette tapes with the pencil. I had a Spectrum that used cassettes before I got my Amiga 500.
There are dozens of us!
I like to use Oregon Trail generation too. It’s the perfect label for those of us who essentially had computers inserted into our childhoods at some point.
Computers pre-date us by a lot, obviously, but it’s more about the mass market computers (and home video game systems) that normal people could access.
This one. I was born in 85, but in very poor, very rural Pennsylvania. I describe my upbringing as nearly gen x, with some millenial quirks.
Same
Zillenial or younger millenial
Well I have kids your age, so a literal generation gap? Yes.
I think Lemmy has age diversity, more so than other platforms.
i mean, its a good thing
End of Millennial or first of Gen-Z, although I feel a lot more like Gen-Z.
Somewhat elder millennial.
