I'm a 2010 Gen Z but Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Pink Panther, Winnie The Pooh, Scooby-Doo, Doraemon, The Simpsons, SpongeBob SquarePants, Sonic the hedgehog, Adventure Time, and The amazing world of gumball was my entire childhood <33
(Yes ik I'm still a child rn)

I actually loved the fact you're laying out likely possibilities for the future generations. Although it may not be all true, it's good having an idea where we're heading

There was the Lost Generation - born from 1883 to 1900 - which is before Greatest generation.

[justink]

I love how they say "these events TOOK place" and then say "2038-2049"

[wolfkitty]

[PlasmaMongoose]

Gen-Alpha don't have that much say about what hairstyles they want as they are still all babies and kids.

[cheznute]

The fact that SpongeBob square pants was not even made in the millennials 💀

My granny (great grandma) is 95 and is two weeks older than queen Elizabeth! She still does everything on her own, (aka she can walk, drive, cook, etc) but my grandma lives with her just in case- <3

Edit: Rip Queen Elizabeth, , the world just doesn’t feel the same. 9/8/2022

I'm a Gen Z person (Born: 2004). Even if I belong to a new generation, I still have the taste of having an obsession with Classical music and old cartoons.

Baby Bommers = The Black & White TV Generation.
Generation X = The Coloring TV Generation.

Gen X here wasn’t feeling the choice of cartoons. We had He-man, She-Ra, GI Joe, Transformers, Dungeons and dragons, Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, The Smurfs etc…

[TheGreatCattat]

The silent generation was SO silent I didn't even know they existed.
