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.

    If you ask me, these generation labels are bullshit and just a way to put people into a stereotypical box and make them an “other”. Not much better than astrology.

        Well, in that case, maybe this is interesting to you. I ran a user survey last year for my instance and anyone else wanting to answer and one question was age. Here’s the age group graph:

        The y-axis is number of respondents, x-axis is age group. Obviously this only applies to the people that responded to the survey and thus might not apply in general to the fediverse, but it’s probably an indication. And, well, it’s mostly smoothly distributed without any major gaps or humps (slight hump at 30-34 but not sure if that’s statistically significant).

      Eldest of millennial.

      I voted for ‘generation crash and burn’ but it got cut off on the print out, so…

    Gen Z.

    This place is a lot older than I expected.

    Internet generation, progenitors of current online brainrot. Came too early to experience the 90s in all its glory, and too late for running console-quality games on a 6mm thick mobile device.

    At least we have the 2010s to claim for ourselves. Those were pretty cool.

    Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can’t afford a house, so I’m hitting the stereotypes

      apparently my high school epitomed the Xer slacker stereotype for the middle of it… They have these signs along the fence listing accolades and awards for different teams and clubs. There is this gap that goes between the late seventies and the early nineties. Outside of that there is something for like every year. Then I know for my year there was a half hearted attempt at a 25yr reunion I think from pressure from administration to some of the folks who had been student council or such. Anyway it imploded likely cause folks like me said they would not go.

    Early 90s millenial here. I remember the wild west internet days. Left Reddit because it does not serve the interests of its users anymore.

    I was born in 1995, people are split on whether that’s millennial or gen Z. I guess I’ll round up and go gen Z. I have siblings born in the early '80s though so I watched a lot of older TV/movies and used a few late '80s to early '90s toys, games, and electronics.

    Xennial. I’m X depending upon which number you use as the cutoff (the '80 definition vs '82 definition)
