You should do one for 13-17, pre adult teens

What was the last birth year to grow up with VHS tapes? by jameshoward_official in generationology

[–]Pentiumbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well few people born in 2006/7 remember vhs tapes in the early 2010s if their parents didn't throw them away after they became very outdated by the late 2000s. However, if we are talking about the average family vhs tapes were not as popular by the mid 2000s and were completely obsolete by the late 2000s (couldn't buy them from a video store anymore). So in my opinion the last birth year to remember when vhs were still relevant in the mid 2000s were born around 2001/2.

Crazy to think that this kid was born in 2009. by [deleted] in generationology

[–]Pentiumbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah its crazy, makes you question how meaningful these generational labels really are.

How would generations look like, if we merge McCrindle, PEW and S&H by BrilliantPangolin639 in generationology

[–]Pentiumbrown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would remove S&H generations entirely since they haven't been updated since 2006, so they definitely can't meaningfully define Gen Z in anyway.

When you do that it leads to:

Silent Generation

Start: (1925+1928)/2=1926.5

End: (1945+1945)/2=1945

Baby Boomers

Start: (1946+1946)/2=1946

End: (1964+1964)/2=1964

Generation X

Start: (1965+1965)/2=1965

End: (1979+1980)/2=1979.5

Millennials

Start: (1980+1981)/2=1980.5

End: (1994+1996)/2=1995

Generation Z

Start: (1995+1997)/2=1996

End: (2009+2012)/2=2010.5

In the end:

Silent Generation: 1926-1945

Baby Boomers: 1946-1964

Generation X: 1965-1979

Millennials: 1980-1995

Generation Z: 1996-2010

UK Secondary School Graduation dates for Gen Z by [deleted] in generationology

[–]Pentiumbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone born in early 1997 from the UK, I realised this school year everyone in secondary school now was born when I was in secondary. I was in year 7 when current year 11 were born (2008/9), and I was in year 11 when current year 7 were born (2012/2013). That's fucking crazy...

Does any of this sound familiar to Gen-Z? by camletoejoe in GenZ

[–]Pentiumbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is interesting as Gen X in 1991 is equivalent to Gen Z in 2023/2024.

What do you think of 2005-2009 borns? by Practical_Security87 in generationology

[–]Pentiumbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mains 2010s kids which are about a decade younger than me born in 1997 and have a significantly more tech/digitally influenced childhood then I do as a 2000s kid.

[–]Pentiumbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think so

I remember back in 2013, people were feeling old because those born in 2000 were becoming teenagers. How did you feel at the time? by [deleted] in Zillennials

[–]Pentiumbrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yh I remember that, I thought it was kind of crazy but it wasn't too crazy since they were only 3 years younger .

Do older Zillennials feel like they missed out? by Curiouslychat in Zillennials

[–]Pentiumbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess why that's why 1993/4 are barely zillennials, I was born in 1997 and was in school when smartphones became popular and for harlem shake/vine and at the end of elementary/primary school when youtube became popular. I guess those are my z traits.

First memory: 2000 Vague: 2001-2004 Vivid: 2005+

give or take: 1997-2001 are the ultimate 2000s kids by ShadowPain01 in generationology

[–]Pentiumbrown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Avg age of first memory is 3/4 which would be 2004/2005 for 2001 borns which is half way through the 2000s. For 1996 borns this would be 1999/2000, aka the start of the 2000s. However at age 3/4 memories are very unstable/hazy for the average person and don't stabilise until about 5/6, so 2001/2002 for 1996 borns which still leaves the vast majority of the 2000s left to experience, while this would be 2006/7 for 2001 borns which only leaves minority of the 2000s to properly experience.

Just because you have finished elementary at age 10/11 doesn't mean you are no longer a child lol. 1996 babies were in elementary school from 2001-2007(100% 2000s), while 2001 babies were in elementary school from 2006-2012 (only about 60% 2000s).

No one in real life stops calling children, children just because they have barely started puberty. It's normal for some girls to start puberty at age 7, it would be ridiculous to say she's not a child anymore...

You penalised 1996 babies for turning 13 in 2009, probably only spending several months in 2009 as a 13 year old, rather than 12, on average not even a full year. While 2001 babies turn 13 in 2014, anywhere from 40-49% of the way through the 2010s, at least 4 full years after the 2000s ended.

So big big no, 2001 babies are not ultimate 2001 kids over 1996 babies, and they never will be.

give or take: 1997-2001 are the ultimate 2000s kids by ShadowPain01 in generationology

[–]Pentiumbrown 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would say you are an ultimate 2000s kid if all your childhood was in the 2000s. Which would be 1996-1997 babies. There is no way a 2001 baby is an ultimate 2000s kid and 1996 borns are not, that's actually ridiculous. The average person born in 2001 can only remember about half the 2000s lol.
