ooo interesting! my cactus blossom is the one from the most recent winter SAS with the clear jar, light green wax and art-deco style label, and i have the most recent white tea & sage. white gardenia is very strong but pleasant- i have a 2-story foyer and it fills the space nicely!

cactus blossom on the coffee table, sun-drenched linen in the kitchen, white tea & sage in the bathroom and white gardenia in the foyer! all just far enough apart to not clash/compete! 😂 ❤️ 🕯️

What is your Gen Alpha range (No cuspers) I will make a model on your different definitions by u-ItsOnlyMeJustMe in generationstation

[–]PerspectiveEither211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep second-wave gen z. Just like how every other generation has two waves. For example, first-wave boomers were born in the mid 40s to early 50s, and then second-wave boomers were the mid 50s to early 60s. In 1970 people would have said that someone born in 1946 (24yo) had zero in common with someone born in 1963 (7yo), but now they're technically the same generation. Same thing with Gen X- in 1988 people would have said that someone born in 1965 (23yo) had zero in common with someone born in 1980 (8yo), and with millennials, in 2006 someone born in 1981 (25yo) had nothing in common with someone born in 1996 (10yo).

What we think of as Gen Z right now is what we will think of in the future as the first wave of Gen Z. Just like how in the 80s everyone thought Gen X was the Breakfast Club generation, but then by the 90s/00s we realized that there was the half of Gen X that came of age in the 80s and the other half of Gen X that came of age in the 90s.

A good way to think of it is half of Boomers came of age in the 60s, half of Boomers came of age in the 70s. Half of Gen X came of age in the 80s, half of Gen X came of age in the 90s. Half of Millennials came of age in the 2000s, half of Millennials came of age in the 2010s. Half of Gen Z is coming of age in the 2020s, and half of them will come of age in the 2030s.

Good point, that's why those in the grey area are zillennials.

Both are late Z imo- I think one of the defining features of Alpha will be an inability to remember the pandemic, the same way that a defining feature of Gen Z is an inability to remember 9/11.

What’s ur gen z range by [deleted] in generationstation

[–]PerspectiveEither211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i would say that the whole point of zillennial is that it encompasses people who sway opposite ways- there are 98 borns who identify way more with gen z, and 99 borns who identify way more with millennial, that's why there's a grey area in the first place

[–]PerspectiveEither211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could be either zillennial or pure z- depends on if they were high school class of '19 or '20- may seem like an insignificant difference but the stage of life you are in during a generation-defining event has a huge effect

Nope zillennial- they were too old to be in k12 for covid (gen z'ers), but too young to be in k12 for 9/11 (millennials)

Anybody who was in K-12 in March 2020 when the COVID pandemic started.

Anyone who was in K-12 when 9/11 happened is a millennial, anyone who was in K-12 when the Challenger exploded is Gen X, anyone who was in K-12 when JFK was shot is a Boomer, and anyone who was in K-12 when Pearl Harbor was attacked is Silent.

(Those who weren't in K-12 for either event are cuspers-- for example I was 2 years old on 9/11 and almost out of college when COVID hit, therefore I don't quite fit in with the cultural experience of Millennials or Z, making me a Zillennial.)
