As my username implies, I sometimes fall out of the loop on things. Who are gen Alpha now please? Should I tell them to not touch the thermostat? (just kidding, it's all locked down, I'm an old geek).
Kids of millennials.
Wait I thought that was gen z
It's a bit fuzzy, but more or less each gen gives birth to the gen after the next one. Boomers are the parents of millenials, not the grandparents. Gen X are parents of Zoomers. Millenials are the parents of Alphas. Etc.
Right now Millenials are in their 30s and 40s, Zoomers are in their 20s and late teens, and Alphas are young kids. Most Zoomers are not having kids yet.
What are zoomer parent kids called?
Zoomers
Early millennials were about 15-20 when Zoomer started so yes, they had some, but keep in mind the last millennial was born the day before the first Zoomer. Half the zoomers are in their 20s so there's definitely some that are parents to Alphas, but they'll primarily make Betas starting next week or something
I think people born from 2012 onwards.
2010
Same thing.
Everyone who is 14 and younger are gen Alpha. I think Beta gen will be starting perhaps in a year or two.
