idk what's weirder, the fact that the oldest gen z are almost 30 or that the youngest are in their last year of middle school
As a zoomer, I won't have a kid until 2040 so they won't get bullied for being a Gen Beta
As 43yo, what made me really nostalgic was when I realized that those 15 years old things that make you nostalgic, seem to me like something that happened last summer. - Do you remember when covid started? - Sure, that was last Tuesday, wasn't it ?
I was literally born in 2008 (late Gen z). I’m not even 16 yet and here I am being told that my youth time is over 😭
What is actuallt scary is that nowadays 20 is considered old.
As one of the late zommers, I am happy that in two years gen alpha will be blamed for most things not us.
At just 20 years old, the prospect of aging fills me with genuine dread, having already weathered depression and poverty throughout my teenage years. The idea of forfeiting my youth without experiencing its joys is truly terrifying to me.
i’m only 16 and you’re telling me my youth is coming to an end what the heck😭
It's hard to believe that most of Gen Z are nearing adulthood or are already adults. My brother, who was born in 2009, is turning 15 this year. I'm 23 and I literally feel like I was 15 yesterday. Like I graduated in 2018, I shouldn't feel this old.
I can say as the millennial who was terrified of leaving my twenties that life is better on the other side of the roller coaster. My thirties have been the best years of my life. All I can say is just enjoy the ride! It gets better, not worse.
I love how this video looks at gen alpha not like it's the dusk of humanity, but as a part of an ever continuing cycle. Young kids absorb things from their surroundings, that includes language. When they grow older, they can look back at said things with a more rational view.
As an elder Millennial (I'm 42), I don't feel old at all, so it feels kind of weird, in a way, that there are 2, almost 3, whole generations younger than me now! My Gen X older brother already started having grandkids at my age, yet I don't even have any kids, so I will never be a grandpa (thank goodness), so I just have to watch new generations arise from a distance. I'm still getting used to the idea that I am middle-aged now, even though I have a significant amount of grey hair, especially in my beard. Life is mostly better now than it was when I was a kid, though, so that's nice, I suppose, even if I am going through a rough patch right now.
Im 22 and tbh completely forgot I was that old. I’m working my way into prepping myself for adulthood and i miss being a kid. I know a lot of people will maybe say they miss like high school but for me it was middle school. 2012-2016 were such fun years man
I was born in 2005 i can't believe this is the last teen year of my life. I feel like 2019 just started but then i check the calendar and realize it's been 5 years (half a decade goddammit)
I knew when I started seeing unironic comments like "I wish I was a teen in 2014" and "The song dumb ways to die is from a game i use to play" I knew it was over
I’m Gen Z, February 2008 It’s weird knowing that my childhood has almost reached its end. I’m going into junior year of high school and just the thought that half of my high school experience is over feels unreal. It’s sad to see the Gen Z downfall, But I’m glad for what we had at the time.
My son is Gen A (August 31, 2023). I (with my wife) will raise him old school style. He's going outside and not in the house all day.
I was born in 1999. It’s crazy that he says Gen Z is phasing out when I feel like we’ve barely lived
Gen Z needs to pact peace with gen Alpha, at this rate we’ll really start to sound like grandpas if we keep saying “ughh what are the youngsters doing humanity is doomed” like every generation has done since sumeria.
