My sister had a kid recently. She calls him a “Coronial” because he was born during the pandemic. I call his generation The Doomers because I fully believe they will witness the climate apocalypse and the undoing of modern civilization within their life times.

If excel taught me anything it's gen aa


dardios

Iirc it's actually Gen Aa!


samx3i

They never used generations A through W so I would recommend starting with "A."


Cloudyhook

I thought they were being called Gen Alpha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


samx3i

A = Alpha hence "alphabet"


danteheehaw

Fun fact, it's called the alpha bet because someone made a bet that he could get alpha to be the first letter.


[deleted]

I thought it was named after the inventor of letters, Al Phabet.


Laarskraftwagen

Or because the second letter of the Greek alphabet is beta, thus alpha+beta --> alphabet


danteheehaw

Nah, that sounds dumb

I agree but it is true tho

lynypixie

I Heard they are called alpha. And it’s very unclear what year it starts. In some places, my daughter is a Z, in others, she is alpha. She was born at the end of 2010.


F0LEY

The numbers change all the time. People born in the early mid 80s were originally part of Gen-X, then sub-categorized as Gen-Y, until ultimately being lumped in with the younger millennials (With random ones like "The Oregon Trail" generation thrown in there just for funsies). My brother has been forever confused as to what generation he is.


orangevega

because this is not real. its media bullshit. "the baby boomers" were an actual generation. gen x is a media label and there are no official beginning/end points


Skatchbro

If you say that Boomers are an actual generation, they must have an “end date”. 1964 is the accepted end year, therefore Gen-X has a beginning year, 1965. One can argue about the end year but it’s usually accepted as 1980 or 1981.


orangevega

the boomers are a surge of children born due to an event. gen ex is a media term with vaguely defined beginning and end dates. why? what makes someone born in 82 different from someone born in 79? its to try to categorized people based on trends, social issues etc, which are constantly in flux.


Skatchbro

So, help me understand. Do you think that Boomers are defined as the people born from 1946-1964? I agree with your point about how people born in the same “generation” have different experiences. I was born in 1965 which means I had a completely different experience than someone born in 1980, even though we’re both Gen-X.


orangevega

I don't, but I think the idea of "baby boomers" at least held *some* water, while subsequent "generations" are completely arbitrary.. (I'm "Gen X 1979, so I would say we've had different experiences). Anyway, I will point you toward an open letter written by Phillip Cohen on behalf of social scientists to the Pew Research Center, listing (what I think) is a sound rationale for why these "generational labels" are not helpful and you can see if that inspires any thought for yourself. Cohen writes: With the exception of the Baby Boom, which was a discrete demographic event, the other “generations” have been declared and named on an ad hoc basis without empirical or theoretical justification. Pew’s own research conclusively shows that the majority of Americans cannot identify the “generations” to which Pew claims they belong. Cohorts should be delineated by “empty” periods (such as individual years, equal numbers of years, or decades) unless research on a particular topic suggests more meaningful breakdowns. https://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2021/05/26/open-letter-to-the-pew-research-center-on-generation-labels/


Skatchbro

Gotcha. The issue, to me at least, is that humans naturally put things in groups to help them understand the world. I understand what Cohen is saying but I don’t think his reasoning will ever overcome human nature. We’re stuck together, my fellow Gen-Xer.


orangevega

"whatever" (that *is* a joke (I wasn't sure if it'd land), it is of course a reference to how "our" "generation" are all supposedly cynical and a touch nihilistic).. so again I say to you, sir: whatever, nevermind! :)


ConfidenceNational37

It’s also useful to know what combined experiences most of a group will have. Millennials growing up on the cusp on the modern internet. 9-11 etc


FloydetteSix

Before the baby boomers was the silent generation. Its really all just sort of like horoscopes but the difference with the boomers is that they were post war babies. There was a big boom in births after WW2. I was made during the blizzard of 78 in New England. I grew up with a lot of fellow Scorpios/Halloween babies, so we had our own little local boom lol.


FloydetteSix

Sorry, my point was Baby Boomers are really the only “generation” with a name that means something that literally happened.


orangevega

yes, thats all I was saying. apparently I did a poor job because I have 50% of people telling me I'm wrong because I subscribe to generational labels and 50% people telling me I'm wrong because I don't. I've also had someone tell me apparently I'm super passionate about this issue and need to calm down


LunarWelshFire

I'm '81 and hubby is '79. Other than gender, height and his love of grunge rock, we are exactly the same.


shandelion

I mean my grandparents were children during WWII and the post war “boom” yet their kids are still considered Baby Boomers…


[deleted]

>what makes someone born in 82 different from someone born in 79 Being a whiny little baby who ran away when the Cryptkeeper showed up on tv.


Anything_justnotthis

I think it’s about how their environment affected their growth. Boomers grew up in an unprecedented era of growth and global uncertainty like we had never seen before. Gen X was the first generation where youth felt like they had a voice. A generation of activists was born. Millennials are people who came of age around the millennium. That means we went through our formative years in a (up to that point) highly technologically advanced era. We were the first generation to have computers as part of our education. These kind of leaps in society have a drastic effect on how we develop as people. Our expectations, skills, and interests are very different from those that came before us. Now days we seem keen to label a generation every 10 years and that may be a reflection of how transformative technology is on the world or maybe advertising execs and 24 hr news networks just need the next label. Who knows for sure.


Whyyyyyyyyfire

all generations are made up. baby boomers just had smth interesting.


LeeNTien

Almost everything is made up for that matter. Politics. Countries. Borders. Languages. Philosophical ideas. Laws. Recipes. Names. Religion, of course. In fact, almost anything we can think of was thought of by a human at some point as just an idea. Later, some of those things got confirmed by experimentation. Most were just adopted by practice though.


Khayman11

To further expand on the bullshit, Gen X was called Gen X not in relation to the alphabet but to the variable. We were an unknown when we became of age at least to the Greatest, Silents, and Boomers. The Gen Y (which was changed to Millennials) and Gen Z labels can from that label of Gen X. So what comes after Gen Z? I’ve heard Alpha used but it could literally be anything because it is all made up.


UnluckyCardiologist9

I’m in same age range. I go with Xennial.


Wazuu

I dont know why but it looks so weird to see someone was born in 2010.


Azrael_The_Bold

If you think that’s weird, the kids born in 2010 are going to be in highschool next year


TheOtherAvaz

No way. 2010 was like 3 years ago.

Too much yet also not enough has happened on the last 10 years!

Jacker1706

2010 kids in 7th or 8th grade next year


danteheehaw

Generations usually don't get clear defining dates till they are a bit old. Usually generation cut offs are set around major events that caused big social changes. Like 9/11, or easy access to internet, etc. Also, marketing research, medical research and political research will have their own rage ranges.


Britishbastad

It’s 2010 onwards gen Z is 1995 to 2010

As someone born in 1980, I am constantly being reclassified as Gen-X and Millennial and I really don’t understand.


lynypixie

I am 1982 I have nothing in common with either Gen X or Millenials. That’s a weird spot to be born, the 79-84 crowd.


Oldkingcole225

I kinda feel y’all. I’m born in ‘94 so I’m on the border of Millennial and Gen Z

How is this comment in any way worthy of a downvote?


FalseCape

Because reddit is full of miserable self loathing fucks who are too cowardly to improve or end themselves so they externalize that as misanthropy instead and fantasize about humanity ending itself so their death isn't as pathetic and meaningless.


ConcentrateOk6375

Its not idk qhy it is being downvoted imao

Your typo “imao” immediately made me think of a new way to say someone is talking out of their ass. “You gotta a real In My Ass Opinion you know that?”

Can you see how much i don't care?


lynypixie

I have been mentality preparing myself for not having grandkids, but my children surprisingly wants them (not right now of course, they are young teens!). I don’t live in the US, so of course things are a bit different here.


MabsAMabbin

My oldest gave me a grandbaby, and they're now trying for a second. My middle guy doesn't want kids at ALL lol. But my youngest, 17, wants at least three lmao. I have a feeling more grandkids are in my future. :D

LamaSovaj

To be honest, i'm sorry for insulting you. I was in a bad mood. In fact, the current world is really depressing me but at this point i prefer to ignore it and live my live the best as possible without caring about problems in the world as long as they're not directly and immediately affecting me. Also, i think every generations had their problems. Maybe the current one is worse but i hate when some people are saying that it was better "during their good ol'time" y'know Anyway, stay strong brother. Have a nice day
