So you're cool with gutting medicaid to give tax cuts to billionaires? Why? A few months ago you were saying that crashing the economy was good, now you want tax cuts for billionaires?
Brother there 840 billionaires in the US and 1.2 million illegals on Medicaid. If those dudes get a bigger piece of the cuts I really don't care. We fix this now or we aren't getting Social Security or Medicaid when we are old.
 
2005 is nuts to me as an endpoint, that'd be 15 during COVID
It's almost like in the late 90's the public didn't predict 9/11, the 2008 recession, Obama, Trump, COVID or Biden.

Also nobody who argues for gen z to be recognized earlier can convince me they're not doing it to avoid rightfully being called a millenial. People need to stop being faggots about age.
 
No, I'm thinking of gen z. Millenials back in the late 90's, I was told, were people born between 1990-2005.

See an article from 2007 that has been unchanged, that has the date even in 2007 jumped forward five years:

My pet theory as to why this is occurring is that younger millenials in sociology departments are moving it backwards to include more and more of them in the gen z category lmao.
The term "zoomer"/"Generation Z" is relatively recent invention hence its lack of appearance early on.
Here's an article from 2012 where people were trying to discuss what term to refer to the generation after millennials.

"Zoomer" doesn't come up, but "Gen Z" does.

If we go with the "iGeneration", then the zoomer birth year could be the same as the iPod - 2001, or old enough at the time to actually comprehend and use it, which would have them older than a few years?

Lmao, I have the opposite theory where people want to narrow the timeframe zoomers were born in to avoid being included as apart of that generation themselves because of the negative stigma attached to them, especially on the political right. Even the article I posted says people wanted to avoid being apart of a bad generation so I think my theory tracks.

I haven't often seen zoomers as being regarded as being strictly in or post 2000 though.

There is another term called "Zillennial" that may offer a compromise. They might also be what you're thinking of.

I mean, a generation is a cultural concept for analyzing history. It's inherently a reflective classification. The dates are going to shift. I'm pretty sure the Boomers didn't get deadlocked to ending by 1964 in academia until the early 1990's.

Wrong. When I say 'gen z' I am talking about 'the generation after millenials'.

If I really wanted to, and didn't mind spending an afternoon or two trying to find out how to access sites that would have the data, I could find some stupid sociology paper explaining exactly what I'm talking about. It took me minutes to find an old unedited article showing that the date had already leaped back 5 years to 1984-2000 by 2007.

The entire purpose of the term 'millenial', again as I was originally told back in the late 90's, was because that was the 'new generation' that was around for the turning of the millenium.

This is all again just people who don't want to feel old. Gen X who want to be called millenials, faggot millenials who want to be called zoomers. I am not 'thinking of something else'.

Then the entire concept is worthless if it can shift 15 years up over as many years. At any rate, I am merely sharing what is the original date range and why.

Then how come previous generations before Baby Boomers never thought to name themselves? Pretentious asses. As if any demographic group acts as a monolith. It's only a tool for the intellectually lazy.

So in the wake of our latest most blatant example of "Justice dosent exist anymore" Diddy was acquitted on all the major charges and only found guilty of prostitution, I think its fitting to remind people of the following

The united states has the LARGEST prison POPULATION in the whole world, not incineration rate, not per capita, just sheer fucking volume.

China has 4 times our population and we have more prisoners than them but we cant convict the diddler
Just wanted to share one other cute fact somewhat related to this

Since 2010 the Russian government has had roughly 30,000 investigations in relation to social media posts by Russian citizens with 1,200 resulting in some kind of criminal case equaling roughly 80 incidents a year. This is the "barbaric, backwards, totalitarian" Russian bear, lets see how they compare to a "civilized, modern, western" country?1751554442386.webp

This is what they want for us, Because the UK isent a real country it dosent have a written constitution so they can be treated HOWEVER the current ruling party feels, this is no exaggeration, the British man or woman has 0 and I mean 0 protections against government abuse of power or even actively working AGAINST the peoples goals or needs.

This shit is why ill ruin perfectly normal conversations with my spastic and unflinching thoughts on free speech WHENEVER someone tries to police someone else's speech its not about if I agree with them or not its how vital those beautiful 10 rights the founding fathers had the foresight to gift us and its our sacred duty to steward those same rights for all future generations.

I remember more than once getting into HEATED and I mean HEATED conversations with friends and family when Oct 7th happened and beacuse I have a broad range of people in my life I know and care for lots of people of all different life philosophys and opinions including those "blessed" with just a little more empathy than logic that had ALOT of things to say about the Israeli response and I was in the unenviable position of vehemently disagreeing with them but having to run defense for them as they were triggering the other side so bad that they were calling for Palestine supporters to be silenced, deported, the whole 9 yards. But hey thats the cost of having morals and values and being willing to stand up for them, you dont get the easy or fun battles, its alot of turning the other cheek and being the bigger man but Ill be honest, ive always ALWAYS found some level of cosmic "reward" for such efforts

I always use the 9/11-Trump cutoff. You are a zoomer if you didn't experience 9/11, but did experience a time pre-Trump.
The 95'ers definitely remember 9/11, so are either millenial or "zillenial" and the 2k12'ers are just on the cusp of gen alpha.
