There are only two types of gen Z:

those born with and before me,
those born after me

we’ll become united once gen alpha starts making fun of us en masse in like three to five years

[arando]

I think it's honestly just as simple as "the difference in emotional maturity between 19 and 22 and 27 feels so much wider than the years alone can describe"

[thatone]

Third option: having the moral compass of 1 but the energy and onlook like type 2

[BambooTime]

I feel like WAY too much difference is generally attributed to generation instead of just age

[iammrbeat]

The boring conclusion is almost always correct.

I’m a mid gen z (2002) and I feel both a “I miss the good days when the internet was a place, and in school we learnt things without the internet overdominating it” but also a “I cried today bcs I hate that I’m old and alone bcs the internet ruined people”

Technology moves so fast, Gen Z got split in two. The groups? Flip phone kids and smart phone kids.

[AeroRain]

Being early gen z I felt like everyone used to be much more balanced with their usage of technology, and their social interactions outside of that. All of that changed with the introduction of smartphones (starting around 2010) and I think that's why there are 2 distinct gen z groups. Those that didn't grow up with smartphones during their kid years, and then those that did

i fall right in the middle and i feel like it

[rainbowappleslice]

i feel like the cutoff year depends on how old you were when your parents gave you your first smartphone. I'm a 2006 kid but i didn't get one until i turned 12.

As a 2008 Gen Z who's siblings are 1990s to 2004 I relate to this deeply

[landonhagan]

Type one remembers when times were better. Type two does not.

[Color_Splsh]

I feel like people who experienced covid during a schooling border year (8th grade, HS senior, College freshman, etc.) probably fared the worst from covid. I completely missed out of my senior year of highschool, and the effects of that still fuck with me extremely even to this day. No friends, No social skills, etc.

the 2 braincells i have talking to each other:

[libilighthing]

Honestly crying most of the time feels like universal experience for gen z

[spencerowensrichey]

I'm early Gen Z (born 1997) and I still remember like it was yesterday how much everyone was glowing and raving about Gen Z being so damn nice, kind, tolerant, and forward-thinking. We as a society really did think we hit the jackpot with Gen Z back then.

Important to note is that I graduated HS in 2015.

[goodboi]

Type 2 over here. My thoughts can generally be summed up as "i should do something productive", "this is funny af", and "im having an existential crisis at 3 am"

[Alissa_Marie]

I'm technically type two. However, I align more with my 82 Yr old Grandmother in how I run my days. I garden, I cook and bake, and finally walking my dog and sewing.

[KP-hehp]

I'm in the older gen z category, and many of us were still in college when covid hit, some still in high school. It definitely messed with me and my cohort, but I can only imagine how it impacted the younger gen z. At least my brain was mostly developed by the time it hit.
