I don’t like when people blame gen z for growing up the way we did, because we didn’t give ourselves iPads when we were four did we sharon?
a masterpiece same
Um no, but neither did I 😁
@@sofiaelena1973 Okay but see this is the kind of divide we're talking about here... I am ten years older than you, born in 97. IPads didn't exist when I was 9. I didn't know anyone that had what we now refer to as a "smart phone" until I was in high school, although my dad had a Blackberry in 08 (it was anything but smart). I'm pretty sure the year I turned 9, I got a Zune (that's a major throwback) for Christmas, although it might have been the year after.
I suppose we in some ways were a part of this technology generation and did have some tech from a young age (I had a desktop at 4) but the technology was just really, really different then and the generational norms that all of you experience really are different than ours. My sister was born in 02 and as someone who is now a teacher I really, really struggle to relate to my students who are only five years younger than me because of a very noticeable generational gap.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a millennial. I had to endure all the torture of being called an entitled millennial for years, so I'm going to stick with the label.
Not all Gen Z got iPads/devices so young. Older Gen Zs (such as myself, born in 2000) got that stuff at like 10
Jacob Wilkins i really really want to thumbs up your comment but i struggle to accept that u cant just call yourself the generation you are. I was born two years earlier than you and im still gen z. Just because old idiots call us millennials doesnt make us millennials. There are 35 year old millennials who think that six year olds are gen z. Theyre not. Theyre gen alpha. And they think that we are millennials. We are not. We are gen z. What do you think millennials think they Are if they think we are millennials and gen alpha is gen z? You said you are a teacher, but you would prefer to go by what stupid idiots think rather than the truth, which is fucking concerning.
"iGeneration reminds me of iCarly"
*a true iGeneration thing to say*
It was literally the first thing I thought about when I first heard that phrase! 🤣🤣🤣
I still want an ipear
jAdamariE I want that giant pear pad that Robbie had
Strangerxartx I always wanted that too
Yeah same but iGeneration is actually put under Generation Alphas thing (idk what it’s called) I don’t know how that really makes sense but I am learning about this stuff in one of my classes and it’s interesting to find out why Generation Alpha is getting the iGeneration name instead of gen Z’s but my teacher explained it in a way where it was easy for us to understand why, but I still think it should be in Gen z not Alpha
I feel like “zillenials” are the people that remember when their schools got SMARTBoards
the heck is smartboard? like backboard but digital?
@@FoxGameCZ yes pretty much its an interactive white board
Yes!!!
I rember that! I'm a fairly yough Gen Z tho... it was like kinder - 3rd-ish
Literally though!
i feel like the main identifier of being a “cusper” is being alive for 9/11 but not remembering or understanding it.
I kinda agree with that because I was alive but I was like in first grade or something like that.
Totally. I have no recollection of it (born 1996) but it definitely shaped a lot of the world we live in today.
I was in kindergarten when 9/11 happened and understood it was a serious event, but didn't understand all the specifics.
I was 8 I think. I don't remember any of that day personally.
I wasn't even old enough to be in school yet. But I was old enough to walk and tall and watch it on TV and not understand it.
Are we all doomed because Gen z is the last letter ... it seems ominous

What defines a Zilennial is the level of Hannah Montana / High School Musical knowledge
This is the best way to define it
YES
Yesss
Ndeye Faye No lots of older gen Z people know a lot about those things.
@@annabelcrescibene4257 Exactly a millenial would not know about HIghschool musical and Hannah Montana.
i’m gen z but i feel like “cusper” micro generation can be defined as having the best disney channel era
That's so Raven, Cory in the House, Kim Possible, Brandy and Mr Whiskers, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverley Place, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, HOUSE OF MOUSE (good lord, House of Mouse was probably the last good piece of Mickey Mouse cartoons for years before 2018's Mickey Mouse shorts came up).
Basically Disney Afternoon and Toon Disney was where it was at for late Gen Z-ers. My sister was born '08 and has no idea Raven Baxter had a brother
@@TinyToonStar those were the shows!!
I claim not being affected by that (much) because no one in my household watched it save for Kim Possible and the House of Mouse
I think it can be defined by how exposed you were to technology growing up, as well. Anyways, generations are dumb
Yes as a 2000 baby, we enjoyed some goodies like Kim possible, jake long the American teenage dragon, the proud family, that’s so raven, but then also Hannah Montana, wizards of waverly place, suite life of Zach and Cody, good luck Charlie all those gems could go on forever of shows. Also the amazing Disney channel original movies like sky high, princess protection program, or teen beach movie. Don’t forget Nickelodeon with ICarly, or Cartoon Network with total drama Island, cow and chicken, and dexters laboratory. Or PBS kids with Caiou and dragon tales omfg my whole childhood.
I would personally argue that Zillennials really are their own micro generation.
We did have phones and stuff as children, but not until our teen years, and that's shaped our interactions/opinions on both technology and society in a completely unique way. Maturing ALONGSIDE technology is a completely different experience from both growing up outside and growing up online.
Where do you come up with 1994? I was born in 93 do I not belong I ask cause I don’t feel I don’t fit in with a 1981 millennial I was using an iPhone at 16 in 9th grade what do you think ? I definitely grew up before 18 in the i-generation I wasn’t big into social media tho
@@annaborbon5425 you even tho I’m 1 year shy of 1994 cutoff I couldn’t identify as a zillenial? I feel 1993 is an odd one because it’s over looked mathematically brining you into the 2010s by adulthood vs the common 2000s millennials. There are all these defining moments that indicate millennials like remembering 9/11 coming of age during the 2008 crash. Both are vague memories I was 8 years old in 9/11 and in 2008 I wasn’t coming of age I was just starting high school. Mid 80s to early 90s true millennials it has to count for something that I’m on the border of 94.
@@annaborbon5425 I don't know I was born in 93 as well and definitely don't feel like a true millennial. Most of my peers in high school had computers, phones(most were touch screen), there was social media, people spend alot of time on the Internet, and TH-cam was already blowing up. The 2008 financial crisis had zero effect on my life and most of my friends aswell. Don't remember 9/11.
We didn't have Instagram, Twitch, online gaming wasn't as big, neither was online shopping though
@@annaborbon5425 Nope we were poor. I was 7 when 9/11 happened I didn't even find out about 9/11 until much later. Technically I belong to millenial but so do you. But I would assume you don't feel as such, so do I mostly. You said you were born in 96 I mean that's nothing in terms of change compared to 93. I feel like a cusper causs most of my teens were surrounded by all the tech we have today. It was simply just in it's beginning phase.
@@annaborbon5425 Zillenial is not a thing so how could there be an age range💀
if you were born in the early 2000's and we're poor you had a childhood similar to 90's kids
y e s
o shit this is. true oh my god i never thought abt it like that
Accurate
true
I’m from Argentina, so tech takes longer to arrive here because it’s more expensive so I share all the technology stuff she said even though I was born in Dec. 1999
okay but who remembers when blue ray was a thing and everyone thought it was so cool????
I never really understood what it even was. I just knew they were like more than double the price of regular dvds😂😂😂
WAIT, when blue ray starts not to be cool ? Ps5 can also play blue ray and is essentually a blue ray player...
I remember the format war between hd-dvd and blue ray
@@chai_lattes DVD is standard definition while blue ray is high definition
@@cheapskateaquatics7103 interesting. Good to know! Do DVDs come in HD now? I don't really see much of blu-ray anymore.
People born in the early 2000s definitely have really different experiences than people born in 2012.
Us 00-03 babies are really different from 04-09 babies we the last people to grew up without technology going outside till the street lights on etc
@@Riowe I keep thinking that too. I was born in 01 and grew up with a lot of things from the 90s, always played outside without technology and later witnessed the new changes and got my first flip phone quite late. The people from 04 onwards somehow behave differently. It feels like a new generation begins from 04.
@@justlukas701 EXACTLY that’s how I feel. I’m 02 in I do remember playing outside with 04 babies but it was still cause they had phones in stuff I didn’t
@@Riowe in my opinion people born between 2004 to 2006 are the people that are close to adulthood 15-17 age
@@thesecondfirstergamer467 doesn’t change anything I said.
Technology has developed so quickly over the last 20-30years meaning that we are living in one of the most rapidly accelerating periods of history. I don't think dividing generations into 20year chunks seems appropriate anymore. I think there needs to be shorter intervals.
Agree.
AMEN!!!
Yessss
100% - 5-6 years tops.
Yep.
august 1998 here, i watched disney movies on VHS when i was a kid and i don't understand tiktok . . . but i also grew up on the internet so what is it 😔
Genuine question, is this a joke or do you really not understand a video making app?
99 here... i’m confused
How are you on all the videos I watch 🤔🤔
I’m March 98 and I never realized Im a bit older than you lol 🧐
laverna recommended dummy
Every generation has been accused of being narcissistic. Once upon a time baby boomers were being accused of ruining society because of rock music, hippie culture, vietnam and civil rights protests, etc... "Kids these days" is an ancient story that will probably never go away, which is why I never took a lot of the millennial critisms to heart.
Most underrated comment!
But baby boomers still are narcissistic and ruining society
Ancient Greeks literally 25 centuries ago complained about "kids these days".
GEN Y (1980-1993)
GEN Z (1994-2010)
GEN ALPHA(2011- probably 2015)
Boomers are narcissistic though. Like not because of that but they just think they’re the best generation like ALL of them do.
I was born in 95, my brother was born in 96. We had the exact same childhood, you cannot possibly categorize us in different generations.
Of course it's literally one year. Lol some kids born in 95 were in the same grade as me.
I was born in 1996, I graduated from high school with people born in 1996-1997, and I graduated from college with people born in 1997-1998. I think high school graduation year needs to be taken into consideration when determining generational demographics.
yeah we are defentiely in the same micro generation.
So does 1996-1997. If u and ur brother had same childhood (1995-1996) than 1996 also have same childhood with 1997. And then 1997 can say the same thing about 1998. That they grow up the same. Heck, even 1999 can say the same thing about 2000. And the cycle goes on. If that's the case than all generations has no end because According to you, each year born a year apart can relate to each other. It has to end somewhere.
@@rhys4489 But how is anyone born in 1995 any different from 1996? Is weird how you kids love to act like 1995 babies have a dramatic difference in comparison to those who were born 1996.
I'm so glad I was born in July 1996 because I can claim either Millennial or Gen Z depending on which one is being annoying that day.
😂samee
I’m glad I was born in 1997 I don’t feel connected to the Gen z I grew up with house phones and flip phones and two-way pagers 📟
everyone in the gap is an honorary member of the black eyed peas
That makes me feel even older. I am old enough to remember when Fergie was a child first hand on her first TV show.
Thank you.
What an honor
yes
Don't stop the party
if you thought "isn't this basically a knock-off version of vine" when tik tok came out...you're probably on the cusp.
🤣Awww I miss vine
But I was born in 2005
help thats what I thought and my 11 year old sister got mad at me. she didn't even know what vine was. made me feel old and I was born in 01 😭
didn't everyone think that 😭
💯 feel this
True millennial/gen z solidarity is being able to immediately recognize a photo from the early 2000s.
We are the lost one's. Born between the golden age of disney tv cartoons and the dark void of internet fuckery. We are the best and worst of both worlds. I'm also sad most of the time...
This suddenly makes me think of the silent generation. Born from around 1939-1945. Very short for a generation. Also small for it's length in years, because people weren't having many kids, as all the men were off fighting in WWII.
My grandmother is from that generation, and is very proud to not be a baby boomer.
Honestly being on the cusp is great because we can relate to older and younger people. Old enough to fit in w millennials but young enough that Gen Z thinks we’re cool lol
So true
I'm a 1994 guy back in college with 2000s and that is so true lol. People think I'm cool (lol how)
Yeah, I'm definitely a cusper
I’m not on the cusp of it (I was born in 2005) but I don’t relate to most people in my generation
Hannah May facts
Born in '97 doesn't feel like a millennial or gen z 🙋
Born 97 too. I’m confused about my identity lol
same I was born in '98 and my brother (15('03)) is always mocking me for being to old to understand certain things in Pop culture. It's an ongoing joke between my younger sibilings
same, having brothers 4-5 years older than me and only hanging out with them and their friends makes being lumped in with 2000's kids weird
I was born in 2001 but had the childhood of someone growing up in the 90's
ya exactly when she said AIM i couldnt relate but we used msn
I remember Netflix starting as a DVD Rental straight to your house and then the streaming platform came from that. It is crazy!
Crazy to think I have been subscribed to Netflix since it was lovefilm and 3 DVDs at at time posted 😂
Same! I remember when Netflix was a disk we loaded into our wii and that was the first time you could have a streaming library at home.
I didn't have Netflix nor have any friends who had Netflix but I did remember the hamster commercials lol
Netflix still has a DVD rental service, just not as frequently as they have back in the early days before they spewed a mix of good and bad tv shows and movies.
Speaking of DVDs I actually remember going to places like blockbuster. I’m sure the younger gen Z’ers will not know what blockbuster is.
I was born in 98 (I'm 23) and I've never felt like I'm gen Z. It might be partly because I have much older siblings and grew up listening to all their music, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a young child etc. I've also heard Millennials defined as people who can remember 9/11 (as opposed to gen z, who can't), pretty sad metric, but I can or at least I remember my parents explaining it to me when it happened.
I was also born in 98 and just like you, I never felt like a true generation Z individual because I was raised around millennial concepts or principles. I even remember having conversations on landlines! Honestly I feel like these generation labels separate people rather than unite them.
I was born in 1997, got 3 older siblings(all 90s kids) was practically raised by them, grew up listening to their music and watched tv shows they watched. So I always thought I was a millennial. I voted in 2016 election and graduated from college in 2019 before the pandemic hit. The whole campus being closed and attending classes online is another thing I can't relate to. Hell, anyone born post 2000 is still a kid in my head. Being grouped in the same gen as them just feels bizzare.
It's not about how you feel. It's about when you were born. There are plenty of people who are obsessed with Victorian era or Edwardian era England, but it doesn't mean they aren't people of the modern world. You're Generation Z.
@@ledam2654why are you obsessed with labels? Generation Z is very weird...
@@svalerie98 it is useless 1996 and 1997 and 1998 grew in same era so it going pointless each day passing
I’m 23. And I relate. I feel too out of touch for gen Z and too childish for millennials.
Same! I was born in 2000 and I feel like I'm not that experienced like the Millennials but I'm more mature than younger Gen Zers!
This is me and I'm 18 🤦🏾♀️
Emilia lmao same 97’ had my first smart phone in middle/highschool but I also had a phone that u press the number multiple times to get a certain letter
Elle BC
What? Lol. I was 6 when 9-11 happened and I remember it vividly. I remember exactly where I was. Are you saying that you’re 40 and you’re a millennial?
MO MARIE the oldest millennial is 39 so most likely. Like Tiffany said in her vid the “I’m younger than the generational cohort and I’ve experienced blah blah blah so your analysis doesn’t make sense” line doesn’t apply to an entire generation. Experiences are relative but the MAJORITY of millennials can remember 911( I was in 2nd grade in dance class, confused why all these kids were being sent home and I wasn’t) while the majority of gen z were taught 911. Doesn’t mean that there are certain millennials that don’t remember or gen z that do, it’s just the best way to categorize a generation while it’s still pretty current.
Too young to be on myspace, but too old for tik tok, fucking weird age group im in (born 1998)
You're not the only one sis. 1998 here too 😔✊🏽
you're not the only one
Myspace was weird
I was on MySpace had no business on there but I had one 98
Same sis 😭 born in 1998 also
This is such a fun watch. I'm a 2001 baby, but my little sister's (2007) childhood was different from mine in so many ways. So I'm solidly Gen Z, but I remember when I was younger everyone told us we were millennials. I still remember VHS and the home desktop, and I didn't get my first phone until middle school. I also loved your blockbuster and Netflix convo, that was funny to remember.
BUT my first phone was a smartphone, and I went to an online meeting school for 4 years. I took online "gifted" classes. It's just crazy to think about how much 5 years can change my experiences from my younger sister's because I think some of my earliest memories align a lot more with yours.
I was born in 94' and relate so much. I was 7 when 9-11 happened and I vaguely remember watching the news about it. I also think that most people born from around 92' to 2000' were the first kids and teens to really have to navigate school issues coming home with us because of social media. I remember getting Facebook in 8th grade, and then Instagram, snapchat and vine were big throughout high school. Also online gaming became huge around middle school and high school. Before I remember Inviting friends over to play split screen Halo with 4 of us, then freshman year high school hits and my friends and I text each other to play call of duty on xbox live. I think this really defines us "cuspers" or "Zillenials." We grew up, for a small portion of our life much like older Millennials but our middle school and high school years have a lot in common with how Gen Z teens are growing up today. Older Millennials who were out of high school by the time social media, youtube, online gaming exploded didn't experience this.
I feel like the whole "generations" debate is too US-centric. Most people in the world can't relate to stuff like 9/11, the recession, specific shootings. I think each country or region should have it's own definition of Millennials, Gen Z, Baby Boomers, etc. Obviously they would all have points where they meet, especially since newer generations are more globally connected thanks to the Internet and technology.
Oh yeah the US dominates this discussion but every country does have their own generations defined differently if you look into it
As 90s kid: Lady Di's assassination *cough* I mean accidental death
It’s a North American thing (Canadian + American, not just American)
No it’s not. It’s a demographic research topic across the western world. This video is US centric because the creator is from the US. Also where she refers to 9/11- THAT WAS AN INTERNATIONAL ISSUE. That’s why you have the security you see in airports today, across the world. I was 21 when 9/11 happened and I remember it clearly, not because of my age, but because here in the UK it was the ONLY thing on the TV for days. It’s still on the TV every anniversary. Replay after replay.
The recession also happened in the UK, Greece and many other countries. Additionally with Globalisation, when the richest country in the world goes into recession it directly affects the economy, trade and inflation of other countries.
Cosmic Centaur yeah I agree! I’m from the Netherlands and typical gen z stuff was introduced way later here.
i feel like people always blame gen z for growing up the way we did...like WE didn't close blockbuster
I've seen people blame us for early 2000s fashion like I was born I 2002 how did I effect the popular fashion then
@@ashlovesbats *We have nobody to blame for 2000s fashion but ourselves and the Disney channel.*
You might not have closed blockbuster, but that doesn't mean I forgive you.
You know they rented video games right? Like 25% of my local store was just video games that you could rent for 2 weeks and return for like $5, and we'll never get that back.
Cory Mck
there’s redbox but it’s more expensive
😂
Not being allowed to watch Harry Potter because our moms thought it was “satanic witchcraft” is such a young millennial thing
I am definitely a Zillenial since I grew up with Cable TV, VHS, Blockbuster, early Netflix discs, and did not get my first phone at all until I got an iPhone 5 at age 16.
I remember pirating Minecraft on my Samsung Tablet and playing Worldcraft 2, which was the best knock-off Minecraft clone. I also remember playing Space Cadet Pinball on Windows XP, playing the sims 2, NFS underground, Midnight Club 3 dub edition remix.
I did not grow up with dialup and AOL, but I remember early youtube in 2009 and watching all the YTP videos I can find.
when you’re too old for the tiktok generation but too young to be a millennial
We're honorary members of the black eyed peas
Well, if it makes you feel better, you had Vine lol
*exactly* this. I'm trying to get into tiktok, though, to relate/stay informed with my younger sisters. I'm as old as the content creator, and us sisters each have a six year gap. Both the 17yo and the 11yo use snapchat, tiktok, etc.
Trueee, 1997 and I don't understand why the kids love tik tok or where the eboy / vsco girl style came from lol
jule c: i was the vine generation lmao
I love how the comment sections of these videos have kind of become a support group for people who are out of touch or don't really fit in too much. It's so wholesome

@@fishi246 the cutest
i love the moomins uwu cute pic x3
I feel like a nihilistic misfit for a millennial that's for sure, I criticize them as well as the Baby Boomers, only Generations I won't criticize are Greatest Generation, Silent Gen, and Generation X
1990s to 2000s are called 'Zillineals'. People who experienced the shift from old technology to digital era. I remembered my school gave out diskette, and myspace were still huge than Facebook.
I’m a 95 baby and I sit on that borderline of millennial & gen z. They say 95-97 is the “weird gap” bc we experienced both 90s and 2000s. We were too young for the y2k fashion but I still experienced the y2k aesthetic in middle school before transitioning into the 2010s for the horrid swag era lmao
I call the 1996-2002 people the second lost generation.
@@colanico2003 The first lost generation was during World War I. I consider the second lost generation to be people who were young during 9/11 and/or the beginning Iraq/Afghanistan war. As well as people young enough to remember the days before smartphones and internet culture.
@@colanico2003 2002 was a stretch. I don't mean young enough to necessarily remember it, but just living during that era.
We even have a name now - Gen K, and its span is 1995-2002.
people born in 1996 are 23 or turning 23 end of this year they'e not 17,18 and 19
Colanic O LOL, this comment is so sad and confused.
When I’m 80 my grandchild will come over and say “hey grandpa I’m doing a school project on memes

Melon Stories starts showing ptsd of the meme war.
Y’all love rehashed jokes lol
"come over" you mean physically?
"say" what, like with their mouth?
don't think so archaic.
I can't imagine that😂😂
Also want to note that this experience is vastly different across socioeconomic status. I think I relate more to the zillenial or millennial experience (I was born in 2000) because my family was poor and so I didn’t grow up with the newest technology. I didn’t have a phone until high school and before then my friends would call my home phone whereas some of my friends who grew up in higher economic situations grew up around more technology. I think the generation thing is cool and definitely some things are relatable but it is a huge generalization because everyone has different experiences even when they’re the same age.
I was like "why is she not mentioning the pandemic" and then I realized..................................
can us 90-early 00s just have our own era???
Hell yeah
I had all the crap my older sister had by like only 8 year difference and still felt like her at age lol

Agreed!
"millenials' youth was shaped by 9/11" "gen-z had iphones from childhood"
Me, not american, apparently a cusper: *very confused*
The problem with this sort of thing is that it's SUPER USA focused
Agree this whole generation thing is always americanised however, 9/11 rlly impacted the whole world
@@m_adalena Nah, never knew that It happend until 5th grade
I'm sad cus of 9/11......
WHY ARE HUMANS SO CRUEL?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!
Being a millennial from a European country I definitely remember 9/11 and I fully understand the impact it had, it really did have an impact on the whole world. But saying my youth was shaped by it goes a bit far.
I’m early 96. The rage I feel when people tell me “it doesn’t matter what you feel like, you’re gen z” like Um excuse you, generations are defined by the trends you followed and the experience you had. I’m millennial.
But technically 1996 is the last millennial year lol
@@Theoriginalotaku96 that’s what I try to tell them
@@ko379 yeah i consider myself a younger millennial. I just think I'm a little too old to be a zoomer lol.
I'm mid 97 and I get called a Gen Z but technically I'm not at all.
I think defining generations is stupid tbh. It ultimately always ends up making it an "us vs them" situation. Just enjoy life and be yourself.
I feel like the definition of Cusper is not remembering that September 2001 one big bad thing in America, but also remembering vhs/ the pre-iPhone period of life...
i will never forget seeing this meme that the group that falls between millennials and gen z should be called gen shrek or something like that bc the first shrek came out in the early 2000s and that was like the defining event/phenomena of this group LMAO
defining event/phenomena was Harry Potter
shrek didn't even come close to Pottermania
MY CHILDHOOD! I was born in 2002 and I freaking grew up with Shrek
@@FruityHachi I actually feel like Harry Potter really gained popularity in the last 5 to 6 years. Maybe it's just here in Italy, but I remember when I was in middle school (like 2013 to 2014) liking Harry Potter was something that was looked down upon, kinda like a "nerdy" thing, and you were made fun of for it. Then after a little bit, seemingly out of nowhere, everyone loved it and knew everything about it, even the people who made fun of you for liking it just a year prior. I remember those times where Pottermore was still Pottermore and it was truly magical. And how to forget the first time I took the test to find the house I belonged to... Nice memories 😍
@@giuliami2706 i think it’s just Italy, i’m from Slovakia and i have found articles from 2003 that Pottermania arrived here too
kids weren’t made fun of for liking it, and I remember that in around 2004, 05 plenty of kids in my class liked HP, had school supplies and bag packs with HP, it was actually the “cool” thing to like HP, one of my closest friends at that time was a potterhead

I was born 29 Dec 1996 and I have never been so confused about anything in my life because I literally relate with both generations. Thank you for this video I have some kind of relief.
i feel like a big element of this being a 'cusper" is also just how wealthy your family was growing up. like i was born in 2000 but a lot of my childhood was still vhs and using the home phone and computer and owning a flip phone but it was mostly because we had less money.
Yes, I remember I got excited when I had a bootleg mp3 player blasting 2005&06 Kidz bop 😂😂
2000 still wouldn't be considered "cusper" though lol. No matter how poor you were growing up. I was born in 91 and I still remember record players and black and white TVs because we we're poor af lol. That doesn't make me a boomer. It just means I was poor 😂😂😂
auburn.honey i’m ‘02 and we had a black and white tv growing up(but mostly because my parents wanted to be “vintage”) lol but i love my gen z

bruh that was so weird

The one thing I will say about the "zillenial"/genz people is that while we are caring and attempting to be more inclusive, that kindness and compassion gets thrown out the window the moment your opinion doesn't follow the trend. I've seen this personally on social media where someone will have a different opinion, not even be rude, and all the "compassionate" souls start attacking the person with hate speech or just rude commentary to almost bully the other person into submission. I know someone personally who likes to internet troll but will cry about her anxiety when confronted in person 🙄 we have to walk the walk if we're gonna talk the talk about being kind
I was born in 1996, I don’t remember 9/11 (it wasn’t that significant in Canada) but I remember VHS tapes, Walkman’s, Blockbusters, Taking pictures and going to the store to get the pictures developed and waiting a week to get them, technology free childhood as I run around my neighborhood everyday until night falls, the transition of chalkboards to Smartboards in school, N64/GameCube/Gameboy, Flip Phones and Saturday morning cartoons.
Generations should be defined based on how they stole music

Being born in December '96 definitely qualifies to be a "cusper", I'd say. The music media progression from using physical CDs as a kid, to downloading illegal music (FBI, don't) onto my iPods during adolescence, to now just streaming music on Spotify, was the most relatable thing ever

Oldest of the gen z's, I was a child during the financial crash but it thoroughly affected my psyche. Just recently realized that.
As someone born in 2000, I feel like older gen z kids were all old enough to remember stuff like blockbuster, dial up, and vcrs, but that all went away by the time we were preteens, and this new age of technology started during our most formative years. I remember the 2008 recession, but at eight years old, I was too young to process what any of that meant. We played outside, but we also started on social media as young as 11 or 12 years old. Some of us even had a flip phone for a short period of time. We had ipods before we had iphones, and all our snapchat usernames are extremely embarrassing, because the app came out while we were in middle school.
Sarah Catherine this is the most relatable comment i’ve seen so far. I had this exact same experience down to the sc name 😬
@@XxSukiDaisukiXxMe too, except the snapchat thing (I got mine when I was 16 and didn't care what to make my name so it was auto-generated to my initials).
I honestly think it's silly that us 2000-born kids aren't called millenials because we were literally born in the new millenium. Yes, it's come to mean those who came of age around the new milennium, but the way that the average cutoff is set up, it has people born in the early '80's and having the ability to make sense of the world before the millenium even started called millenials.
What defines coming of age, turning 18 or being old and mature enough to understand the world around you and what it all means?
As a 1999 kid, I agree with you.
And Netflix literally getting mailed to us 💀 (I’m a March ‘00 baby)

I feel very much the same. Those of us born between 1995 and 2000 tend to get lumped in with one or the other, when honestly we're neither gen z or millenials. I don't identify with either of those generations, being born January 97. I remember not having computers in classrooms at all, and I remember being one of the first graduating classes in my state to be required to complete one course fully online in order to graduate. I don't remember a lot of the 90s, but I do remember a lot of the same pop-culture things which carried over into the early 2000s, like furbys and tamagotchis.
The cold chill in my gut when I heard the dial tone-and then you hit me with the lime wire bit. Oh boy.

Same here. I was born in 1998 and that makes me a zoomer but I was grown up around millennial principles. This included individuals with skinny jeans and emojis as well as vhs tapes. I just don’t fit in with the people who are 4/5 years younger than me.

Born in July of 96, I completely relate to everything you said about your early childhood, totally nailed it… I feel chronically trapped in between, but definitely resonate much more with millennials, especially considering most of my friends growing up were born between 93-95. I didn’t make an Instagram account until my first semester of college in 2014. I remember back then it was much more lowkey and still secondary to Facebook, and quickly over the next few years it blew up into the biggest social media platform and the toxic popularity contest that it’s become. I had a very low-tech childhood and mostly hung out with the kids in my immediate neighborhood. I remember discovering TH-cam sometime in the early 2000s and I was suddenly exposed to a whole world outside of my little hometown community. The advent of all the technology that runs the world today unfolded along side my childhood, but as I recall as a kid I didn’t fully grasp the significance of these tech changed and how dramatically it would change things in such a short time. I remember when we got our first old dell laptop and that was how to learned about the world and tapped into subcultures that didn’t exist in my community. I feel like I tasted the tail end of a time when your consciousness was bound to your immediate surroundings and people were much less exposed to the world around them…. I also grew up without cable because my parents were hippies.

Think being born in the mid-90s is rough? Try being born in the early 2000s (2000-2003). I was born in 2002, grew up with tapes, DVD and 2000s Disney and Nickelodeon. I know nothing about your Tiktok and Instagram, but I still get looped in with these kids born in 2008, and somehow am considered "the same generation" as them.
That is so relatable. We are thrown together with 2008+ people. There was so much development during the 2000s, especially in the late 2000s and back then just a minority had these things while in 2010s most people had it and even kids already got a touch device. We were kids who grew up without this and still people group us together with late 2000s/early 2010s borns. That is so stupid.
1998-2002 are in totally the “zillennial” group.
Try being born in 1995 and grouped with 2012 in the same generation, I was already in college by late 2013 and they were 1 year old.
@@vintagewimp5705 That’s even worse. I hate generation labels anyway because 15 years are way too much.
I was born in 1997 technically the first year of Gen z but I’d definitely say I was raised more as millennial, I did not grow up with technology at all and I didn’t get a phone until I was 17 and bought it myself, mainly because my family moved from Russia and they are very religious and conservative
I was born in 2000 and I believe one of the biggest reasons us older gen z's don't like being called gen z or being associated with the generation is because we grew up during the "millennial = young person" time, so we spent our whole childhood being called millennials until gen z started getting more attention when we were in our late teens or early twenties and we were suddenly being called gen z, but we'd been conditioned to think we were millennials, so we all tried to prove that we were millennials and clung onto google results that said the millennial cutoff was in the early 2000s...it's a really strange position to be in lmao
as a 98er, wholeheartedly agree. And like, growing up as the youngest of three I also got to experience more millennial things for myself. I got their old phone before getting anything else. When the flip phones came out I was 11 but I also used my mom's laptop for the first time. But we also had a home phone until I was 19.
Situationally speaking, people's financial situations also make a huge difference. Someone who grew up poorer tended to not have newer things, including newer technology.
@@thatsdisco I was born in '97. I agree with what you said about finances. I technically didn't grow up on the internet because my family couldn't afford at home internet. I started being on it daily in middle school, but before then I would use it in places w/ free wifi or at family members' homes.
The toxic part of Gen Z is mostly the ones that were born from 2007- and up. They’ve been unfortunately grown up with the internet in their face and a tablet on their face by the time they came out of the womb. People need to start distinguishing two types of Gen Z’s because not all of us are like what we are stereotyped to be, grown up with social media in our face, totally wrong.
@@metalrockstarizer89 feel like it's kinda weird to call gen z kids born 2007 and later "toxic" though, considering they're 14 at the oldest and still in elementary school at the youngest
@@quincyquiz I just said that partly because there becoming much more prominent in social media outlets like TH-cam Snapchat and Instagram, they’re getting phones at a much younger age, becoming more prone to addiction to being an “influencer” “gossip” spending less time outside, constantly worrying what other kids their age are doing, when I mean toxic I don’t mean that they’re terrible but there more prone to become more social media addicts compared to us and more likely to rebel.
I'm in the "not quiet old enough to remember dial-up vividly but remembers when netflix was mailed to you" generation
wow when netflix was mailed to you. I haven't thought about that in ages. but same
I’m old enough to remember rotary phones and 8 tracks. Dani was years away in the future when I was born. I guess I’m gen X. I was a baby when Nixon resigned.
My late father had a record collection and I listened to Elvis, Beach Boys, and CCR. My father passed March 8, 1986. I recorded off the radio on tapes in the 80's. What do today's kids use for music? Streaming downloads? Are even CD's obsolete? Back in the day we had to wait for a favorite song to play on the radio, or go out and buy the record/cassette/CD. I liked Casey Kasem's American Top 40 in the 80's. I listen to replays on the internet, from a streaming station playing them 24/7, or from websites that have some full shows on demand, 4shared, mixcloud, etc. His show reminds me of a simpler time. The young ones today will never know that simpler time.
trust me be grateful you don't remember dial up.. it was that annoying and the time period on the net was more limited plus you can't use the phone and net at the same time.

Hi, 1996 but I relate HEAVILY to basically everything in this video ahaha like it’s actually really cathartic to hear my childhood summed up so perfectly. I remember that my cousins family had a Netflix subscription like before it ever streamed online- and they would get mailed DVDS each month that they would order online I think, and then we would send them back and get two new dvds the next month lol. I feel like gen Z to me feels more like the kids born in the 2000s and maybe like 1999 too- like born when technology already was a thing by the time they are in middle school. Either way this was a great video and I appreciate you.

Debby W I feel like generations in Europe (cannot talk about other continents) should definitely be defined differently than those in the US. (And there should also be a generation inbetween Y and Z. The millennial group is way too big.)

I'm born in 93, and i still remember using sony walkmans to listen to music in my teens when ipods and music players werent invented and i use to use tape recorder to record sounds... generation gaps are very real coz it's very easy for the kids these days to enjoy the benefits of technology which i didn't have in my childhood.
the sony walkman came out in the late 70s way before you were born.
cd players (discman) came out in the 80s, and the ipod in 2001 you 7/8 years old
Im 93 as well and I feel more millenial than gen Z I dont care what anybody else says
global south country? because the ipod launched in 2001--and were not uncommon by 2004-05, and you would've been 8-12 by then...
but global south is a different story
I was born in 1996 and have more in common with those born 95 and before but also relate to those born 97-98. I usually don't relate much to those born 99 and after.
to me people born in between 1995-2000 is like the weirdest generation ever like...we are our own generation but we're a lil bit of both millenials and gen z. some part of uswanted to be in gen z, some wanted to be millenials. i am in fact born in 1997 and to be honest when people talked about a specific group/gen i just don't fit in any of them? so i stop thinking about but seriously when media keep shoving us in the face about "millenials this, gen z that" it's so damn frustrating! this might seems weird but sometimes i do feel offended by that 😔
thanks to you i learned something new called cusper, literally never heard of it until today!

I was born in early 95 and I kinda dont feel like I get along well with anyone who is 1 and up years younger than me and to be honest I don’t like tik tok and never have downloaded the app because i just don’t find it amusing so I would say that Gen z starts from 96 up until the late 2000s. Facts
My thing is if you dont remember 9/11 at all then its hard to call you a millenial or if you didnt remember y2k those events defined that era . A 90s kid remember all about these important events and remembers where they were at the time like it was yesterday . thats just my opinion though

I would argue a micro-generation would be accurate. We are the exact people who the internet actually grew up with us. When we were young and free, so was the internet. And when we graduated and got jobs or went to college, the internet grew up as a way to be monetized by stealing data. We remember TH-cam and google before they were owned by the same company and full of ads all over. We had the best children’s/teen’s tv during our childhood, and had limited internet. I actually do remember dial up as a young little guy, vaguely.
Since I was born pretty much in the middle of Gen Z (August 2004) I relate a lot with my generation and feel proud (for some reason) that I'm a part of it. I think it just feels good being able to put yourself in a group that you have shared experiences with. I'm glad I watched this video because it's a completely different perspective I really wouldn't have considered. I like being part of Gen Z but cuspers, as you said, don't really identify with one or the other and it's nice to learn about that. So thank you, I appreciate it~
I was born in '97 and tbh since I found out I'm not a baby millenial but rather an elder Gen Z it has given me anxiety
i felt this 😔✊
Yeah I was all fucked up realizing I'm gen z
Why millennials are lazy as hell and complain and wine gen z is project to be as hard working as the baby boomers
Kerry it's just like as the youngest of a generation you feel young and as the oldest you feel old and like time is slipping away I guess
sarah kerr lmao I would be any genders too other than baby boomers, they are literally the worst
I was born in '98 and definitely relate to being a cusper. There are characteristics/experiences of both generations that I identify with.
Facts, I feel like the main “Gen Z/Tick Tok” range are HS c/o 2019 and younger
Dominic Dawes I’ve noticed that too. I was class of 2018, and all of the things that are known as “Gen Z” trends like TikTok, e-girls/e-boys, VSCO girls, etc. really became popular during my freshman year of college. Gen Z culture is just high school culture at this point.
I feel exactly linke you
The cool thing about being born 1997-98 is that you can say you’re either Generation and still be kinda right. People born 1995-96 (like me and Tiffany here) on the other hand are without a doubt millenials.
‘98 me too. I feel you. Even tho I’m from Eastern Europe, soo I identify a bit more to millennials..
Upbringing, culture, socioeconomic level, etc. plays a massive role in whether or not you feel like you fit in with your generation. I’m a 2004 kid and relate to many aspects of zillennial life, but have had a cell phone since the age of 12. This is actually really useful in helping me realize that I am closer to Gen Z; for a while I thought everyone born after around 2000 was Gen Z, but apparently there is a more definitive end and a bit of overlap into the last century.
Born in late December of '96, so practically '97 - I remember first seeing ads for Netflix on TV when it was just a DVD mailing system and thinking "Wow, that's so dumb, who would actually do that? If I want to watch a movie I'll just go up to the video store and rent it instantly." ...I'll take my clown shoes in a size 7, please.
I honestly hate that people don't put millenials _around the millennium_
Lycaon1765p Mood! I was born in 2000! I should be the ultimate millennial!
Im born in 2000 too. The thing I read about this is that millennials are millennials because they were old enough to have their first conscious memories from around 2000. Also read this thing that if you remember the live on 9/11 then you are a millennial. Idunno. It's confusing. Im not from the US so I'm not even sure if I can relate to the GenZ experiences
Millennials are people who grew up during the turn of the millennium. That’s why we are called millennials. Considering how many times I heard the term “millennium” during my adolescence, I think it’s appropriate.
We are called millenials because we were born at the start of the 21st century and we could actually experience the millenium. Those born 1999- 2000 could not
Yes always frustrates me! Xxx

@@tomfoolery2913
She literally said the earth is dying.
The earthquakes tell me the earth is not dying. The surface might be fucked though.
The Earth will not be killed, we're killing ourselves
Ayeee, The Big Comfy Couch at the end!
This video was so informative and I am crying cactus tears over this video.
New subbie :)
As a proud 95er I'm apart of the millenials generation as I am born in the early year of 95. May. So i agree with you. I was apart of the AOL dial tone, VCR, Block Buster/DVDs and I didn't even know Netflix existed back then until it got big in the later 2010s - 2019 era. I don't remember which year cause I was TOO focused on finding who to put on my Top 10 on Myspace. lmao. I am 25 now since this video was posted in 2019 so I was 23 turning 24 in 2019 lol.
This video is so refreshing. lol
I was born in 1998 and I’m 21, it makes me sad that we’re in the same generation as 8 year olds but not 24 year olds loooool
I am born in 1997, and in many ways I feel like I'm culturally closer to current late teens than young adults. Internet culture and interests affect a great deal.
Juan Pablo Corredor that makes sense, I could definitely see how you’d feel that way! Majority of my friends are older than me and I’m not huge into social media or anything like that, so I’m sure that contributes. Interesting to hear your perspective!
Joseph Giddings that’s a good way to look at it!!
Juan Pablo Corredor I think gen z has way more influential meme culture
I was born in 2000 and my younger cousins say I can't be a Gen Z cause I don't find dank memes as funny as they do lol
So... Does anyone else remember when all you could do was rent physical dvds from Netflix?
A C i rented dvds from Blockbuster 😂
my parents still get the dvds from Netflix
Me!!! I think I'm too young to relate to going to blockbuster BUT we had Netflix in my household to get DVDs in the mail.
YES ! 1998 yeet im def gen-z, millennial feels too old for me
Remember it?? That was like, yesterday. 😉
Oh I feel this! Thank you, as one from the Elder Gap. I love the research you put into this one -- even if you had to add that dialup sound. I'm never gonna recover. (edit: Also, I've just got more progressive with age!!! I put a bunch of Old Person comments before I realized... this is... an older video of yours... and I was so excited to talk about my feelings as a Gap X-Millennial... can't think of anything more Old Person than that!)
