Gen Z 1.0

People born between the years 1996 and 2003

Started school during the new millennium/new century (both starting on January 1, 2001) and also during the Bush administration, grew up with 2000s media (TV shows, video games, music, etc.), spent most or all of their high school years before the Covid pandemic, can remember the Recession and how it impacted the world, grew up with social media such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and not Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. They do not participate in crazy TikTok challenges either.
Gen Z 1.0: "I remember the 2000s. Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Webkinz, Club Penguin, Nick before they got rid of the splat logo in 2009, pre-2010 Cartoon Network, late 2000s era of AMVs and YTPs on YouTube, etc. Ahh, good times...."

Gen Z 2.0: "Yo chat, wanna see how many baddies I can rizz up while I snort all dez tide pods? I finna play Fortnite after I see dat gyatt. Also, I stole a bunch of shit from my local high school because I be doin' da devious lick challenge"

Gen Z 1.0: "I can't believe we're the same generation as you..."

Gen Z 2.0

People born between the years 2004 and 2011

Started school during the Obama administration and also after the end of the Great Recession (meaning they either don't remember it or weren't alive during it), started middle school before the AI boom, graduated high school in a post-Covid world but still within the 2020s decade, spent a majority of their childhood post-Iraq War but pre-Covid (the peak is one's 8th birthday), they're more nostalgic over the 2010s over the 2000s for that reason, etc.
Gen Z 2.0 is a different breed from Gen Z 1.0

For example, while ALL of Gen Z 1.0 can actually remember a decent amount of the 2000s (or even all of it in the case of it's older members), Gen Z 2.0 either can't remember it or wasn't alive during it (depending on when they were born).

gen z

a generation that includes people that were born in 1997 to 2012 although different sources (ChatGPT, other websites) might say otherwise as some say gen z are those born in 1990 to 2010. Gen Z is the current generation of kids and teenagers you can find these days. Gen Z people (usually boys) like to play fortnite, genshin impact or any other game related with anime or in-game purchases while other side of boys that dislike these games claim the other side to be gay as in form of an insult towards them. Many gen z boys like to make dark humor . Speaking of girls as we cant forget them, they are no better than boys themselves. Now some side of Gen Z (including both men and women) thinks that women dont have sufficient rights as compared to the men so a group of people referred to as "feminists" arise to demand the society to bring quote on quote "equal rights" to everyone and should not be treated differently because of their gender. Although these statements might be helpful in some situations, it doesnt mean you're gonna shit it everywhere. Some girls now have equipped a career of twitch streamers and are referred as "E-girls". E-girls most of the times have a quote on quote on "kawaii voice" (god i feel sick saying that thing) and have a quote on quote on "waifu outfit" (still not any better) that make men fall for them and end up get a ton of donations of cash from these men. I can say some part of Gen Z is just so done. Like now people are all part of LGBTQ+.
