I was born in 2001, what does that make me?
Pretty sure Gen Z
That's so lame ๐ you mean my years of reading books, playing original Pokemon games on java phone, reading Barefoot Gen manga and loving Down the Waterfront were wasted because I came to exist at a time when my entire generation is from Ohio?
Ha, that's a mood; I have a theory about how the millennial/gen Z practical cut off is especially socioeconomically dependent โ as you describe, it's possible to resonate with millennial motifs way more depending on where you grew up. I think you effectively demonstrate how limited generational categories can be, especially if we treat them like hard boundaries between groups
Yeah exactly, you absorb what you grow around in and learn from that. There's no guarantee that just because you were born in a generation that you would behave according to the mainstream stereotypes of that generation
