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 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

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

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.

The older, but not the oldest one... Gen-X.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

I consider myself an older millennial as people born until the late 90’s are still considered millennials.

[–] JK_Flip_Flop@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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

[–] Nonameuser678@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Zillenial or younger millenial

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

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Somewhat elder millennial.

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

[–] polarpear11@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Millennial, born in '91

A big tech transition generation.

X.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

older millennial

edit: this being downvoted is the most hilarious thing I've seen on lemmy

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lost.

Any "gap" between generations falls into the Lost category.

I'm born in 98' so I'm right down the middle but generally classed as the last of the millennials.

I feel a lot closer to zoomers, but where I'm from, I think the people who have fast-tracked adulthood with kids and mortgages are textbook millennials where as layabouts like myself share a lot more spaces with young adult zoomers.

I'm already needing to remind myself that some of the deepest internet brainrot like skibidi toilet is not a new phrase but a meme of the hour started by generation alpha and then carried by confused millennials.

I was born in 2001, what does that make me?
