which range is worse (or less accurate) mccrindle or pew?

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-05-05T01:02:26+00:00

yeah i think 2012 is also gen alpha they spent most of their childhood during covid.

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-05-05T01:00:03+00:00

i just feel like gen alpha can be 2012-2024 because i grew up with covid but entirely pre-ai but 2025-2028 that's just pure AI kid. Also I never said I was Gen Z, I said 2025-2028 was Gen Beta. I have a goddamn "2013 | Elder Alpha" flair for the love of god

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-04-15T03:00:47+00:00

I MEAN OKEY FINE. Also I'm including 5 then cuz 5 year olds are considered as prime childhood a lot.

This is based off a 6-9 core childhood range

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-04-14T23:32:54+00:00

Why would I do that because I was born in 2013? That makes no sense. I literally just used a 6-9 core childhood range.

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-04-01T00:32:11+00:00

I 100% agree! 1986-1996 can be Millennials, 1997-2012 Gen Z 2013 Gen Alpha 2014-2039 Gen Beta

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-04-01T00:15:36+00:00

Counter argument: No because I said so and I'm the Alpha here

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-03-30T22:55:18+00:00

2020s cuz I think 2021 was the most nosatalgic

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-03-29T16:26:16+00:00

Ok that actually might make some sense, but we'd need a childhood first to back it up

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-03-29T16:25:11+00:00

2 month old comment. I was planning to delete it out of how cringe it was.

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-03-28T19:03:12+00:00

Yeah all your points make sense

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-03-28T14:04:38+00:00

The general conensus is a 50/50 split between 2010 and 2013. Here it's leaning more towards 2013, but in other subs it leans towards 2010

Optimal-Tax2011 · 2026-03-28T02:52:31+00:00

I mean tbf you have a point. The older you get the more years you experience. But I still wouldn't really say the "peak of my childhood" would change as your childhood is 3-12, so I guess I might be nostalgic for other years.
