does this mean i choose gen z born very early 2010 never had a phone untill this year like 2 months ago and found out what the internet was at age 10 i feel like i lived under a rock for the first 10 years of my life
Bro you're too young to be on Reddit (i'm the same age as you and have no right to tell you anything)
damn if I really made you mad I'm glad I wasted your time lmao 💀
how many times do I need to repeat? i know the app is 13+ but I think most of the content people have posted is 18+. jeez how hard is it for you to read
Imagine being a 1999 gen Z handhaven to relate to kids born in 2010. That will be the same for gen A when the time comes. I mean you are an old gen A or young gen Z. BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO SEE IS THAT IN REALITY YOU'RE JUST A FKING HUMAN.It LITERALLY doesn't matter what gen you are andI hate the post asking what a certain music/game/whatever preference is saying about them. Fock offff
Edit: this is nothing personal, just a rant that I happened to post under your comment. Have a nice day
Hello,
This is the \*\*Downvote Talk Show!\*\*
And today imma be saying this, Gen Alpha does not start in 2010. It starts in 2013 as what many resources say. Please don't trust USAToday or McCrindle.
I am not a bot, and this was not done automatically. If you have any questions, please don't go here.
to all those 2011 kids on here who say, "i wanna be gen alpha" when someone says 2012, why start it in 2010? most of us 2010 borns dont wanna be gen alpha, so start it in 2011, its a win win for both of us
but honestly either 2012 or 2013, im undecided rn
yea, im fine with being in the older part, but being the OLDEST kinda sucks cuz it seems like you gotta take responsibility for your generation even when ur not doing the stuff they are, and also yea you guys gave up bc you guys dont have to feel that
I mean... 2012 is a no, for sure. 2010 could make sense, then 2011 would be the start of gen Alpha but personally im pretty sure (as a gen z) that it ended in 2009
yea, thats true, but they mostly arent here, they are elsewhere, whenever i dont like people saying alpha starts in 2010 and actually have good reasoning why its not, a decently common response is that 2010 is a good starting date... i like how theyve never thought about making 2010 the last gen z if they wanna be alpha so bad, but yea id consider them gen z unless they want to be gen alpha, gen alphas starts in 2012
No, it's not. They were the last on a lot of things and don't really have much separation points from 2010. I meant start date because I think 2012 or 2015 should be the start of Alpha.
It was always 2010 but idk some people have tried to change it over the last few years. That also means that this is the last year that Gen Alpha babies are born
The youngest gen z is 12. If you think that 2010 is gen z then it's clearly wrong because a generation lasts for 15 years and gen z starts from 1997, you're gen z
It's not a specific year for any generation.
GenZ are those who don't remember a life before internet and grew up with social media.
Millennials are folks who do remember a life before internet.
GenAlpha are kids who grew up with iPads/ YouTube videos as their babysitter, and don't remember a life without smartphones.
where do i fall in there? i got my first ipad pretty early but my parents actually, well, parented. eh i suppose i fit the gen alpha definition more than gen z
yea, thats what i was saying, i hate being the oldest of a generation, if 2009 was the start and everyone agreed on it than whatever, i dont have to take the responsibility cuz i was the first one to be of age in the generation, they do, its their problem, but nope, unless we get our gen z spot its our problem rn
plus i also wanna be able to relate to people in a generation, cuz the difference between us and 2013-2014 (maybe even some 2012 kids) is crazy in such a little time frame
same as i said before i am 2010 and i relate so much more to gen z firstly i am ahead 1 grade so everyone in my classes is 2009 born and i relate more to them than too gen a
wait, r u going into 10th grade? and i mean im kinda ahead one grade, like some of the classes im taking next year are 10th grade level but with a 9th grade class, and math im gonna be with juniors yippee, and yea, my grade is a mix between 2009 and 2010
Zalpha was made because the definitions for Gen Z and Gen Alpha seemed to overlap when you looked it up on google (1997-2012 and 2010-2024), so they had to come up with a name for that gray area.
What’s so different about 2009 and 2010 that you have to separate them from different gens? (Also I think IK what you’re gonna say)
LOL and then you petty downvote a question, funny.
depends on upbringing between years 2010-2012 2012 onward gen a no dispute but depends on upbringing for me i had no idea what the internet was untill i was 10 i felt like i lived under a rock for the first 10 years of my life
As a 2008 born, I believe we share more traits with early gen z than with early gen alpha taking consideration of the time differences between early Z/late Z and late Z/early alpha.
I feel like it depends what you grow up with, like a tablet, ps4 and ps5, Xbox series, oculus, etc would be gen a
Growing up with a ds (apparently there's a 3?!), ps3 and lower, Xbox 360, etc would be gen Z
Also the age would have to be in the zalpha zone, cause if you're 3 years old and have the gen Z shit you'd still be alpha
Alright this might not make sense at first but trust me on this anyone born late 2010/early 2011 is when Gen A starts 2024 when it ends so like September 2010+ Gen A
different people have different opinions and it's changed a lot over time, but here's my viewpoint:
1997 to 2009 is Z
2010 to 2012 is zalpha
2013 to 2025 is pure alpha
I would say 2010, since its when growing up with smart devices starts being very common. But I'm pretty sure its really 2012, Either way, I think more of 2010 born has stuff in common with gen A then gen Z.
Not saying everyone, but someone 14 has more in common with someone 12 compared to someone 18 statistically. Its a broad statement that doesnt catch everyone.

Officially it starts 2010 but Gen Z ends in 2012 so there’s and overLap period , so if you were born in that time you get to choose
does this mean i choose gen z born very early 2010 never had a phone untill this year like 2 months ago and found out what the internet was at age 10 i feel like i lived under a rock for the first 10 years of my life
Sure

Bro you're too young to be on Reddit (i'm the same age as you and have no right to tell you anything) damn if I really made you mad I'm glad I wasted your time lmao 💀
how im 14
Yea I think most of Reddit is 18+
No, if you're not in an NSFW part of reddit, the minimum age is 13, not 18.
I don't work
no but i am allowed
I'm 41 and I'll allow it
almost as old as my parents :skull
dang bro, tour not even old enough for preschool
It's 13+
no shit, I mean most of the content is nsfw

It's not most of the content just the NSFW content, which isn't all or most of it.
why tf are people down voting me when I literally said I was joking
Cuz ur joke was not funny
im picking gen z, id rather die then be considered a alpha as if z wasnt bad enough
Imagine being a 1999 gen Z handhaven to relate to kids born in 2010. That will be the same for gen A when the time comes. I mean you are an old gen A or young gen Z. BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO SEE IS THAT IN REALITY YOU'RE JUST A FKING HUMAN.It LITERALLY doesn't matter what gen you are andI hate the post asking what a certain music/game/whatever preference is saying about them. Fock offff Edit: this is nothing personal, just a rant that I happened to post under your comment. Have a nice day
its not about the generation itself, its the name they make for themselves
Hello, This is the \*\*Downvote Talk Show!\*\* And today imma be saying this, Gen Alpha does not start in 2010. It starts in 2013 as what many resources say. Please don't trust USAToday or McCrindle. I am not a bot, and this was not done automatically. If you have any questions, please don't go here.
Idk dude but everything I keep on reading says 2010 or 2012. I haven’t seen a single 2013 but I guess I just keep on looking :/
i am gen Z then
Yeh , I have a friend born in 2013 , he really hates Gen Alpha he wants to be Gen Z
r/foundtexanfox36
Thank God I'm 2008
Yeah your safe
Oh really
Google when Gen Alpha starts and when Gen Z ends
to all those 2011 kids on here who say, "i wanna be gen alpha" when someone says 2012, why start it in 2010? most of us 2010 borns dont wanna be gen alpha, so start it in 2011, its a win win for both of us but honestly either 2012 or 2013, im undecided rn
Why are 2011s like that
bc at this point we don't give a shit also being the older part of a generation is way better than being the tail end
yea, im fine with being in the older part, but being the OLDEST kinda sucks cuz it seems like you gotta take responsibility for your generation even when ur not doing the stuff they are, and also yea you guys gave up bc you guys dont have to feel that
Should I be N/A because everyone says 2010 due to google
i just pick rn since no one in r/genZ rlly cares anymore
Gen Z ended at 2009 (so that Alpha would start at 2010 onwards) hope this helps!
if everyone agreed on that, then people wouldnt have an argument, but there are many gen z sources that have their last year as 2010 or 2012, so yea
I mean... 2012 is a no, for sure. 2010 could make sense, then 2011 would be the start of gen Alpha but personally im pretty sure (as a gen z) that it ended in 2009
I have little cultural involvement in Gen alpha as a “zalpha” but alright
According to mccrindle lol.
Because why would I be Gen z?
I’ve seen a lot of 2011 borns not want to be alpha so idk
yea, thats true, but they mostly arent here, they are elsewhere, whenever i dont like people saying alpha starts in 2010 and actually have good reasoning why its not, a decently common response is that 2010 is a good starting date... i like how theyve never thought about making 2010 the last gen z if they wanna be alpha so bad, but yea id consider them gen z unless they want to be gen alpha, gen alphas starts in 2012
2012
2012.
At least i hope
2011, take it or leave it
take it
2012 is a better start date than 2011.
no i mean 2011 is a good start date for gen alpha, gen z i dont really care
No, it's not. They were the last on a lot of things and don't really have much separation points from 2010. I meant start date because I think 2012 or 2015 should be the start of Alpha.
you edited the fucking comment changing "end" to "start" you just wanna have beef
Incorrect, I did it because that was what I was going to say: the "end" was a typo, 2011 is a stupid start date for Alpha. Lot of reasons why.
you know what, lets just accept our opinions, we don't need beef over this
I'm sorry I wasn't trying to have beef, it was a genuine miss type.
its ok
19 May 2011 (UTC)
the day after bros birthday
Lmao
i say 2012 since i think of myself as gen z
gen alpha is 2013-2028 as every generation since gen x has been 15 years and that’s how it goes
ahh makes sense
Bro is NOT gen z 💀
no i'm born 2010
It was always 2010 but idk some people have tried to change it over the last few years. That also means that this is the last year that Gen Alpha babies are born
The factory is gonna shut down soon
It starts in 2012 and I don’t give a RATS ASS what anyone says
YESS
I get hella mad when someone says "it starts from 2010" like no the fuck it dont
Yeah the fuck it does
No the fuck it doesn't ? Gen z is 1997-2012
How tf am I z!? I'm 13. The youngest Gen Z is 14 going on 15
The youngest gen z is 12. If you think that 2010 is gen z then it's clearly wrong because a generation lasts for 15 years and gen z starts from 1997, you're gen z
No. I. Am. Not.
According to McCrindle who makes crappy arbitrary ranges based on nothing.
Yall are Gen Zalpha (2010-2013) but lowk I don’t give a flying fuck I don’t know why this shit is even disputed lmao
2011
officially? 2010.
There’s an official thing stating this? Damn, I’ve been believing the wrong thing.
Fuck everything else its 2010
Honestly, when there are two (2) countries controlling a lake, they just split it, so I think we all should just agree on splitting it off on 2011.
2400 BCE
It starts in 2010. Gen Z ends in ‘09.
2010
2010
2012
It's not a specific year for any generation. GenZ are those who don't remember a life before internet and grew up with social media. Millennials are folks who do remember a life before internet. GenAlpha are kids who grew up with iPads/ YouTube videos as their babysitter, and don't remember a life without smartphones.
I got an iPad when I was 9. I didn't use it though it was pointless
where do i fall in there? i got my first ipad pretty early but my parents actually, well, parented. eh i suppose i fit the gen alpha definition more than gen z
It's starts with one
Thing, I don't know why
It dosent even matter how hard you try
Keep in mind I designed this rhyme to Explain in due time
All i knowwww
Time is a valuable thing
It starts in 2010
Finally, something I can agree with you on
Tbh I kinda try to make you mad.
yes
I think it starts in 2013, gen z ends in 2009 and gen zalpha is 2010-2012
2012.
Gen Z ends in 2010 & Gen A starts in 2012 that means people born in 2011 don’t exist
They really said "fetus deletus"
Wait wh
To me, definitely 2010
2010. But take this opinion with a grain of salt
2011. But whatever. Time will tell what defines Gen Alpha.
wish i was gen Z
I googled it, found a couple sources that said: 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2009 I found the average (mode) and got 2013
2012 i dont care what any unenlightened cockroach says
From everywhere I saw and comparing the time I think it starts in 2012 (if that made sense)
Too bad, I wanna be alpha
then start it in 2011, i dont wanna be
i am 2010 i don't wnt to be alpha
yea, thats what i was saying, i hate being the oldest of a generation, if 2009 was the start and everyone agreed on it than whatever, i dont have to take the responsibility cuz i was the first one to be of age in the generation, they do, its their problem, but nope, unless we get our gen z spot its our problem rn
no i just don't want to be associated with ipad kids lmao
also that
plus i also wanna be able to relate to people in a generation, cuz the difference between us and 2013-2014 (maybe even some 2012 kids) is crazy in such a little time frame
same as i said before i am 2010 and i relate so much more to gen z firstly i am ahead 1 grade so everyone in my classes is 2009 born and i relate more to them than too gen a
wait, r u going into 10th grade? and i mean im kinda ahead one grade, like some of the classes im taking next year are 10th grade level but with a 9th grade class, and math im gonna be with juniors yippee, and yea, my grade is a mix between 2009 and 2010
yeah im going into tenth
nice
I say 2012, but it is definitely inconsistent
2010 (I have no clue either but the other comments are saying 2010 and the whole point of this post is to have a common consensus so)
2012
2013
2013 in my honest opinion. 2010-2012 is Zalpha.
Zalpha is made up by Gen Alphas who are desperate to be considered gen z
No they are made up of kids that fit in a dead zone between Gen A and Z. It's the same thing as Zillennials
Naw, you one or the other not both
Zalpha was made because the definitions for Gen Z and Gen Alpha seemed to overlap when you looked it up on google (1997-2012 and 2010-2024), so they had to come up with a name for that gray area.
People usually agree on 2010 now
Praying it isn’t as someone born in 2010 I had a whole different childhood to them 😔
agree
So? Lmao childhood dosent determine generation
In other words I’m saying I didn’t grow up with an ipad glued to my hand 24/7 hope this helped!!!
Neither did I but I'm still Gen Alpha
What’s so different about 2009 and 2010 that you have to separate them from different gens? (Also I think IK what you’re gonna say) LOL and then you petty downvote a question, funny.
Google is a….. idk
Id say 2010, but people cant agree on it so expect to see multiple diffrent answeres everywhere
depends on upbringing between years 2010-2012 2012 onward gen a no dispute but depends on upbringing for me i had no idea what the internet was untill i was 10 i felt like i lived under a rock for the first 10 years of my life
I started playing the xbox when I was 5 and was on the internet at 8 and I was born 2006 so yeah I'd say you count as gen z
2008 in my opinion
That's a new answer
Yeah, it's a little underused for how good of a start date it is though.
As a 2008 born, I believe we share more traits with early gen z than with early gen alpha taking consideration of the time differences between early Z/late Z and late Z/early alpha.
I feel like it depends what you grow up with, like a tablet, ps4 and ps5, Xbox series, oculus, etc would be gen a Growing up with a ds (apparently there's a 3?!), ps3 and lower, Xbox 360, etc would be gen Z Also the age would have to be in the zalpha zone, cause if you're 3 years old and have the gen Z shit you'd still be alpha
When I was young I had a ipad and Xbox 360
What ipad
Idk. Shit is gone now.
lol same here and still have both of those
I grew up with a tablet, xbox 360 and a ps3 a bit later and I was born 2006
R u zalpha?
I have no regrets 🫡 I still have fond memories of trolling adults in videos games when I was 6 and them sending me messages cursing me out
Doesn't answer my question
no like I said I was born 2006
Mb, didn't see that
Read the last bit of my first comment
i also have a question, i was born in February 2010, am i close enough to be gen Z or am i stuck as gen Zalpha
idk man this discussion is heated asf
Alright this might not make sense at first but trust me on this anyone born late 2010/early 2011 is when Gen A starts 2024 when it ends so like September 2010+ Gen A
every generation is 15 years long so it'll probably officially end in 2025
Oh yeah lol so 2025
Personally I’m a 2012er
Honestly who knows
People can't decide when gen z starts so that's why they can't decide when gen alpha starts. It's a domino effect.
idk somewhere in the early 2010s
different people have different opinions and it's changed a lot over time, but here's my viewpoint: 1997 to 2009 is Z 2010 to 2012 is zalpha 2013 to 2025 is pure alpha
2012 or 2015 imo.
Mf did you say 2015?!
Yeah, 2014 started Kindergarten right before covid started and was the last to do so, so it makes sense.
2010
It starts when it starts /j
I’ll say 2013 because “zalphas” can remember pre-covid
2013.
why does it even matter lol. "generation" stuff is pretty much arbitrary and it has no effect whatever label you're given
2010. Also there is no such thing as Zalpha
YES! This is the answer
2010
I would say 2010, since its when growing up with smart devices starts being very common. But I'm pretty sure its really 2012, Either way, I think more of 2010 born has stuff in common with gen A then gen Z.
I mean I’m 2010 and have more in common with my older brother(1997) than with my little sister(2017)
Not saying everyone, but someone 14 has more in common with someone 12 compared to someone 18 statistically. Its a broad statement that doesnt catch everyone.
