Gen Z very recently entered the workforce, and they’re already expressing their opinions, rewriting workplace norms, making their Millennials colleagues feel old and a bit outdated.

Gen Z, with members born between 1997–2012, is 70 million in size, and they are the most diverse generation in U.S. history.

I actually thought babies born during the last 3 Covid years should be called "Generation Q"...with the "Q" standing for Quarantine. Thought that would be a cool and clever name for this new Generation.

I really like this from the Article...

Boom! I remember when we were the youngest generation. But then The Beatles, Elvis Presley, & President Kennedy, seem like ancient history now.

the Beatles don't seem like ancient history here tbh..because Paul and Ringo are very often featured in the media..or playing at some venue here...that even tho' they were my mother's generation ...the other 2 mentioned are history cuz they're dead...

Thanks, I recently thought of posting an informational thread on the generations for reference, as many in our age group just refer to younger folk as "the millennials". Maybe @Matrix could make this a "sticky".

Its the "Z" s who work at coffee shops and restaurants and talk so frickin fast in a mumble tone. Then roll their eyes and sign when you ask them to repeat. Either that or the gravelly mono tone.

All these labels just complicate my life. I gave up, a long time ago, trying to figure 'em out. I know I was born in 1946 and that's good enough for me! I believe in that KISS Principle (Keep it simple, stupid).
