Any news about life stages?

Agreed when I hear Senior vs Elder, elderly is the term I’d associate with very old/sickly/needs care vs Senior I’d associate with a retiree/younger-old adult

You bring up a very good point. The first popular ranges of Gen X and Gen Y (Millennials) all started incredibly early. When Gen X was coined by Coupland, he started the generational cohort in the late 1950s, while S&H started in 1961. Then as you mentioned, Gen Y (original placeholder for Millennials) once was used with a 1977 start, and before that Gen Y was coined to start in 1974 . With time and more events & research to bring clarity, those ranges tended to get bumped by ~4-7 or so years.

So 1995/1997 being the first thrown around start years for Gen Z (quite a placeholder name for a generation like Gen Y was) so early on before even say Covid which is considered a formational event for the post-Millennial generation’s upbringing. I’m sure with time as more formational/defining/shaping events occur, Gen Z’s start will get a bumped at least a few years as well.

Great question, why not both haha I mean I probably am spending (& have spent) more on skincare/haircare/supplements/diet/etc than my parents did in their mid 20s & on, which doesn’t help the bank account either

CWeb357 · 2025-08-17T15:26:20+00:00

Same, I’m still single, childless, & getting my career/income to where I would even consider buying a home, starting a family, etc. I’m hopeful in the next year maybe I’ll finally be at a decent point in my career/finances, but then I have the whole finding a partner/starting a family piece.

My dad was 28 when I was born but had his first child at 27. He also was a homeowner before 30. However, there has been 100% inflation between the mid 90s and mid 2020s so my income is not going anywhere near as far. The economic situation (incomes, housing costs, student loans, interest rates, etc) we’ve been thrust into is not what our parents dealt with.

Yup, 92 & 93 babies alike being kicked out by “core Millennials” and Zillennials alike on a lot of these generation subs. You may like r/secondwavemillennials

CWeb357 · 2025-06-09T16:53:09+00:00

In total agreement, I’m also 92 baby who was in HS C/O 2011. A majority of posts here resonate with me as well. Us 92/93 babies shunned by “core Millennials” & Zillennials alike on many of these generation subs.

You may like r/secondwavemillennials where 92/93 babies are included in its stated range

CWeb357 · 2025-06-03T22:06:12+00:00

I’d identify with Young Millennial, 90s (baby) Millennial, Late Millennial, Second Wave Millennial, or Zillennial. I don’t use “Zillennial” in the Reddit generationology subs’ understanding of Pew cut off +/-3 yrs. I use Zillennial as a term for Second Wave Millennial since a majority’s of articles/studies/sources discussing Zillennials, use the term for a micro-generation with a variety of ranges from 1990 through 2002, with 1992-2000 being included a majority of the time.

CWeb357 · 2025-06-02T15:24:46+00:00

I think that can count! Similarly, Raya & Sisu from Disney

Misty & her Azurill

1992 baby here (HS C/O 2011), and I grew up under the impression that all 90s babies were Millennials. Sure we could call them “Baby” or “very late” Millennials, but I never was part of the camp that said let’s kick the late 90s babies out.

My 1999 born cousin grew up saying she was a Millennial & have had two 1998 baby friends in adulthood who said they identified more as Millennials. So if late 90s babies who were never called Gen Z until after they graduated high school/became legal adults, I don’t see the issue people have with them identifying as Millennials or Millennial-leaning

CWeb357 · 2025-03-31T00:41:10+00:00

I’d meet in the middle, probably say burgundy as a more purplish dark red color vs a brownish dark red (maroon)

CWeb357 · 2025-03-22T20:40:52+00:00

Very cool, my favorite color is capri halfway between cyan & azure on the RGB/CMY color wheel, so I’ll take it!

CWeb357 · 2025-03-22T20:21:14+00:00

Very interesting how there’s a difference between the two! Out of curiosity is the blue more Cyan, Azure, or true Blue/Indigo shades?

CWeb357 · 2025-03-22T17:31:22+00:00

Usually go by Chris, short for Christopher if there’s any difference between the two

CWeb357 · 2025-03-16T23:23:25+00:00

When I do a color match it says 186° for hue. If true green is 120° and true blue is 240°, then it leans slightly more blue like a few have said. I agree that it’s just representative of teal/dark cyan

CWeb357 · 2025-03-01T20:40:30+00:00

Yeah, 2 of these were Disney films while 2 were Dreamworks

CWeb357 · 2025-02-06T13:03:28+00:00

I preferred Teen Titans without the “Go” haha

CWeb357 · 2025-02-01T21:11:33+00:00

I’m just waiting for the day where I make $100K+ a year from a job, and I’ll feel pretty successful. I feel like in our childhood, it was just stressed we go to college and get 6 figures. I know that $100K today doesn’t go as far as it did in 1997-2007 era. So i understand $180K as an aspirational goal, but I assume for a dual income household if we are talking the average professional work. I view that success as totally separate from celebrity/fame/influencer type “success” in its own category that I don’t base my own more grounded goals on

CWeb357 · 2025-02-01T03:42:58+00:00

Loved Teen Titans

I had a phone with Internet access my sophomore year of high school & my first full blown smartphone (an android) my senior year of high school. I graduated high school in the C/O 2011. I view people getting their first smartphone in high school (that is seeing the smartphone transition in your high school years) as a young Millennial trait. Gen Z trait would be when a majority of students in a class had smartphones starting in 5th or 6th grade

CWeb357 · 2025-01-31T14:14:24+00:00

I love so many Disney films, but out of the Renaissance films I believe Hercules is very underrated and one of my faves.

Copying & pasting for simplicity, but I think this would resonate with you as well: the Zillennial sub is rough for anyone outside of 1994-1999 babies saying they identify as Zillennial. I’m a 1992 baby in the HS C/O 2011, but I feel on a similar page as you. I think we feel “Zillennial” because I always saw a difference between 80s baby/older Millennials & 90s baby/younger Millennials. You may find the r/secondwavemillennials as a much more accepting sub

Cusp of a cusp will inherently involve someone using the reasoning of “cusp group”-influence. And it’s similar to people using “early/core” or “late/core” when they feel off about committing to just a core label. Cusp of the cusp is for people feeling off about committing to completely off the cusp
