    I hate being lumped in with all the zoomers in gen z. To me, gen Z is really two generations, gen Z is 1997-2006 and zoomers are 2006-2015. There’s just a huge cultural gap, at least in my experience. I’ll talk about how all my school computers used windows XP, and zoomers will just stare at me like I’m ancient or something.

      Yup, 2000 and I cannot relate with anyone even a couple years younger, we still didn’t have social media till 12-14 y/o. It’s so different to kids who’ve been online their whole lives.

        '01, and I agree. I’ve always had computers at my disposal to some extent, but kids these days have even more technology around them. Makes me wonder what kind of paradigms we’ll have 20 years from now.
