What the eff is Gen Alpha, Gen Z's kids would be like 5 at the oldest.

The gap between generations is getting smaller as technology advances faster, but I agree even the youngest out there right now should still be the tail end of zoomer.

IPad kids are Gen Alpha. So 2010 started Gen alpha.

So help me out…

Boomers: obviously the old white dudes from leave it to beaver who want to take shit back.

Millennials: last generation to play outside until America online let us download porn and Dragonball Z .avi clips.

Zoomers: social media and trying to go viral YouTube star generation?

Am I missing a group or is that it?

Just ignore everything except baby boomers. The rest is just sociology majors trying to be relevant.

Gen X respirated all the leaded gasoline

Man I remember playing outside AND downloading Dragonball Z .avis. I remember finding a site where I could download episodes that had never been released in the U.S., but I would have to download one (which would take about 5-8 hours), watch it, and then delete it or there wouldn't be room on my hard drive for more.

ye X bridges boomers to millennials. MTV generation, saw Cyndi Lauper and Nirvana live. first ones to realize life sucks since the Depression folk

[Krandor]

Late Gen X/Early millennials also provide the key dividing line between people growing up with or without a home computer.

Ehh, there is validity in attempting to delineate the population based on formative societal trends. It's also more like gradients. It is possible to both be genx and a millennial. People like to pretend it's a hard line, but the tail end of gen x would remember bits of the cold war and would solidly remember a time before the ubiquity of the internet. Millennials are the generation that grew up with the internet, as such early millennials had the internet as a formative part of their late teens. Zoomers grew up in the shadow of 9/11 and sponge bob. I'm at a loss on where to put down the line for today's the broccoli haired teens but it's gotta be around 208-12 somewhere, they are the ones that were toddlers as social justice seemingly exploded as a cultural trend.

If you were born too late to remember what RealPlayer was, don't talk to me.

[Demosthenes]

Gen X for real pulled that ultra-conservative heel turn.

[Salodin]

RealPlayer and buffering, name a more iconic duo.

Winamp for music, RealPlayer for hentai, WMP for my anime

Even technically as a millennial (1983) I can remember watching the fall of the Berlin wall on TV. Didn't understand the significance but the memory is there.

Which means you're also gen x as far as I'm concerned. Like I said, gradient.

Kazaa. So many viruses on the family computer for porn

I'm still so surprised by people getting viruses. With the exception of the ONE time I purposefully infected a machine to see what it would do, I've never gotten on. To be fair, during a huge part of the wild west, I was maining debian or gentoo. I'd get on computers at various friend's and just be astonished. Toolbars. Popups. Ads on the fucking desktop active x shit just fucking the machine without lube.
