Hardly the young people Boomers picture when they blame things on them, huh? Xennials (1975-1985) The oldest, often called an “Elder Millennial,” could be upwards of 40 years old. Their parents are probably Boomers… which makes basement life pretty interesting.Īge: Millennials aren’t as young as many people think. In popular media, they’re often usually characterized as a generation of young adults who, after college, found themselves returning home thanks to an unstable job market in the wake of the previously mentioned issues. You’re a Millennial if you reached “young adulthood in the early 21st century.” Gen Y and Millennials are more likely to remember where they were on 9-11 and how the housing bust and following recession shaped their family. While most generations were named and defined by when they were born, the definition for Millennial was actually based on something quite different. Most of the generation was born after the terrorist attacks on September 11, which also means that the majority of Gen Z has never lived in an America not at war.Īge: Gen Z’s members range in age from the youngest, who would be about 8 (as of 2020), to the oldest who is 25. They’ve also been the first real generation deeply familiar with cyberbullying, though. While most of their lives have included some form of social media, Gen Z is often categorized as fairly computer literate. Research suggests that most members of Gen Z are the children of Gen X and elder Millennials/Xennials. Some predict that they’ll be the most formally educated and wealthiest generation, though.Īge: The youngest age a member of Gen Alpha would be today is one-ish and the oldest they’d be is seven years old. Who are they as people? Well, seeing as how at the time of publication, the oldest Gen Alpha member can only be seven years old, it’s too hard to tell. Generation Alpha is also seemingly the first in which everyone born within that generation will have been exposed to cell phones and wireless communication from birth onward. They’re the first generation to all be born entirely during the 21st century. Generation Alpha are, in essence, the babies of most Millennials. What generation are you? What generation are your parents? We know the answers and soon you will, too. We’re here to clear things up once and for all. There’s a lot of blame on the shoulders of each generation yet not exactly widely-known definitions of who those names actually represent. Somewhere along the way, terms like Boomer and Millennial became derogatory to those that don’t fall within those generations. Many teens and young adults right now are being referred to rather hatefully as Millennials when, in all truth, they’re not even that. Ever said “ OK Boomer” and then wonder, “Are they actual Boomers?” Or maybe you’ve blamed something on Millennials, without considering whether the people you’re targeting are actually Millennials at all? Poor Millennials actually get that a lot.
