As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I’m trippin or there actually is one.

Thank you, someone who gets it. The definition has expanded so much it’s essentially meaningless now.

When I grew up and the term was first coined, it refered to the generation coming after mine. It was literally “what will we call this next generation? Well, they’re growing up during the turn of the millennium…”. Then suddenly years later it included my generation. Then suddenly it includes the generation before me? When really it’s just a lazy replacement for “kids these days”.
