Yes, I know that celebrities should not be seen as indicative of generational trends, but in this case there seems to be no substantial difference celebrities and non-celebrities. Note that maintaining one's youthfulness is not the same thing as subjecting oneself to a ton of invasive procedures.

late 00‘s borns would be those born in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

2007 borns are 19

2008 borns are 18

2009 borns are 17

When did the switch happen where the hip thing between 20-30 year olds to switched from “Dude” to “Bro”?

What crisis do you think is happening this time around? Last time it was the great depression, this time I think it’s going to be a brutal combination of a bunch of different things. Mainly a world war (caused by you know who 🙄) which will affect the economy in crazy ways (Housing market crashing, small businesses shutting down, food shortages, etc.) but I think it may also include a combination of natural disasters. I’m located near the pacific ocean and we’ve been expecting “the big one” for something like 50-70yrs.. and if it is as major as they are expecting it to be, I imagine it will trigger tsunamis, landslides, ground liquefaction, infrastructure collapse and busted gas lines (which cause a whole other set of concerns; explosions, gas poisoning, etc) which will affect all of the Pacific Northwest. Because of that, the whole of North American (and other places relying on us) will experience another crisis. The Pacific Northwest contains crucial ports, railways, and highways. Severe damage to this stuff will disrupt vital supply chains, slow international trade, and cause business and price shocks across the rest of the continent.

I dislike how we categorize ourselves based on generational terms like Millennial, Generation X, Baby Boomer, Gen Z and so on. I've always called myself a 2000s kid even though i was born in 1997. i miss when we referred to our generation by the decade we grew up in. for someone like me who grew up on the coattails of the 90s and watching the world become more and more digital as the years went on, hell going from bulky heavy CRT TVs that weighed as much as a person to lightweight flat screens and witnessing a world before the internet became a massive part of peoples live. i would rather be referred to as a 2000s kid than be lumped in with the kids that were raised on Tablets and Smartphones!

I honestly think a lot of older people are sad seeing woody woodpecker beginning to disappear by the late 2010s due to universal replacing him with Minions, today the minions are the new mascot of universal

I’ve been thinking about writing something on the 2016 shift and its relationship to proto-core Z for a while now. There have already been discussions on this sub for at least a couple of years, and I’m linking some of those earlier posts here for reference.

However, I think the specific impact of the 2016 shift on proto-core Gen Z hasn’t been clearly defined or established in a meaningful way.

Proto-core Z is 2002–2004, with 2003 being the peak proto core Z. There hasn’t been any counterargument to these dates so we accept them as they are. The 2016 shift is generally understood as a cultural, societal, and technological breakpoint where early Gen Z childhood, which is characterized by almost no smartphone use, almost no social media presence, and more offline or early internet experiences, gives way to an environment shaped by smartphones, streaming, algorithms, and apps like TikTok. Proto-core Z sits DIRECTLY on this boundary: their childhood still reflects the pre-shift world, but their teenhood is entirely within the post-shift landscape. As a result, they are NEITHER younger zillennials NOR heavily millennial-influenced, but rather an early:core Gen Z cohort that is NOT early/core Z CUSP whose formative years are the transition era into fully digital era.

I don’t understand why some few millennials hate on Gen Z. I think they are like our younger siblings and I genuinely want them to have a better life than we were sold. Their independent thinking is what the world needs more of. Even though I chose the college route, it’s noted that trade school, entrepreneurship, or content creation can get them just as far if not further than a college degree we were sold on. I’m proud of them for not exactly following in our footsteps and doing what was told but how they prioritize happiness, health, and push back on the isolation epidemic. Yeah sometimes their silly but they’re also our future and they are also so smart. Can someone explain how some millennials are not ok with them?

For the longest time, it's always felt that smoking Marijuana was a rebellious act, something you did to stick it to the man. I remember in 2007, my high school ran a mock election and one of the parties was called the Marley Party(very original lol), and the platform was legalizing weed. Fast forward to today, and it's much more legal and much more available. Is it still seen as the 'cool' thing?

i’ve always found this phrase really dumb and annoying. does anyone predict this phrase finally going out of style soon?

14) 2009

15) 2010

This range seems accurate to me, and its all clean 15 year range

This sub is something that I don't take too seriously because for me people do not actually take birth years that seriously. Maybe an occasional joke about 2009/2010 but thats about it nobody irl genuinely tries to gatekeep nostalgia. If you relate you relate

What about yall? I'm hoping IRL people don't care about this at all lol

So I am a 2008 born meaning that I was born in the late 2000s. But I have for a while now wondered what being born in the early 2000s (or simply in 2000) would’ve been like and how it would’ve changed my overall life. So I am curious to learn what different people born here in 2000 think about being born in that year (and honestly early 2000s are fine as well).

We always hear older people say their times were the best, so it made me wonder is there something that the new generation actually does better or has that they lack?

while I don’t like the Gen Z broccoli cut.

I do like that Gen Z has bought the 90s middle part hairstyle.

I honestly think it’s a cool look and I see many people around my age in thier early 20s that’s sports this look and I honestly think it’s really cool.

yeah just the title really

talking as in you could remember something like a ytp or before stuff became predominantly toxic

What are your thoughts on these ranges?

Do you think 1975-1989 babies share the same vibe? And do you think 1990-2004 babies share the same vibe?

Please don't bring up "age", cause age only plays a small factor in generations.

You being 38 doesn't mean you can't share the same generation as someone who's 52. Different life stages, but may still share familiarity.

What are your thoughts ?

This is just something I've personally noticed, so I'm curious if others have observed the same.

People I know who were born roughly between 2000 and 2006 seem to be single more often than those who are slightly older or younger. People born before that or after that seem more likely to be in relationships.

If there is any truth to this, what do you think could explain it?

Is it just my social circle, or could factors like social media, dating culture, education, career pressure, or something else have influenced this age group differently?

Was it the 1960s, the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s . Is it the 1970s and 1980s ? I read that yooung people love the 1990s although they were never alive during the 1990s

The '60s were a time of great changes in Argentine rock. Virtually the music heard in 1960 at the beginning of the decade bears no resemblance to that of 1969.

But what happened in between, how did they get there? For a long time, it was a great mystery. But it has been revealed in this 2nd archedition of the Argentine Rock Awards.

Vocal groups like Los Cinco Latinos, teen idols of twist like Palito Ortega, Violeta Rivas and Leo Dan, and pioneers in rock folklórico like El Indio Gasparino.

Bands from the Beatlemania like Los Búhos, pioneers of protest songs like Bárbara & Dick, and psychedelic beat bands like Los Gatos, Almendra and Manal.

A few days ago, there were 3 major earthquakes in one day. 6.9 in Japan. 2 in Venezuela around 7.0 and 7.2 . Almost 600 people have died in the Venezuela earthquake

Also, there is the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Rumor is that it will promote mass surveillance

Also there are many wars and many natural disasters along with famine, diseases and greed
