Gen Z runs from 1997 to the early 2010s - more than two decades in a single demographic generation? Can that be right in our rapidly changing world?
So the oldest Gen Alphas are just coming out of middle school?
Anyway, it’s hard to keep up and it makes me wary of the groupings even if it does put all our current teens in the same demo.
When one considers it disaffected post-Boomer young adults in the mid 1980s that Douglas Coupland described in his novel ‘Generation X’ are now bluntly reclassified and tossed in with the Boomer Generation they felt blocked by.
Coupland, born in 1961, wrote from the experience of his own peer group and their experiences in Vancouver which experienced economic recession in the mid 1980s. But there’s a certain bitter irony that he himself and those whom he sought to voice have had even their Gen X identity away.
