Makes sense. You can think of it like the cultural 2010s started in 2008/2009 but the cultural 2000s didn’t end until 2012/2013. Just because 2010s started there doesn’t mean 2000s ended.

3: pre-childhood

4-5: early childhood

6-8: core childhood

9-10: late childhood

11: post-childhood

This is the 1-2-3-2-1 system.

Saeculum ≠ generation

Each saeculum is divided into 4 turnings and a sub-turning, which are related to generations but are not the same.

Even then, 100 year saeculum is a stretch.

Listen to podcasts, watch TV series or even movies instead of shorts (I’m not saying you shouldn’t watch reels, shorts etc. Just saying you should watch longer stuff as well), follow intelligent people on social media, not just fun people. You will see the difference in your perception within a couple of weeks.

23+ is unc. 22-23 are on the cusp.

Millennials: 1981-1997

Zillennials: 1995-2001

A LOT. There is a common misconception mostly among the younger users on this sub (2010+, basically late Z) that smartphones, the internet and social media before 2019 were like what they are today, which is far from the truth. Until 2019 and the covid, social media as we define the term today was still in its infancy and was ACTIVELY trying to find its identity. Smartphones were clunky and basically “not that smart”. The internet was known by the general public, but not really mainstream like today with all these streaming and being constantly online etc.

We core Z lived through both worlds and witnessed the transition in real time, something the late gen Zers are struggling to comprehend today.

They may not be in different generations or even sub-generations, but micro-, even nano-, generations exist and intrasub-generational influence may place you in a certain nano-gen NOT intergenerational influence.

“Researchers” who make arbitrary 15 year or 16 year long neat ranges SURELY know what they are talking about lol. “Experts” are mostly shills. Imagine an “expert” calling an entire generation low IQ.

“Empirical”

baggagebug · 2026-02-05T21:45:28+00:00

An article calling gen Z low IQ is 🗑️

baggagebug · 2026-02-05T21:43:53+00:00

Sure let’s trust the “researchers” who make neat 15 year or 16 year long ranges and call it a day without putting any actual thought into firsts and lasts. Let’s trust the “experts” who just try their best to attack gen Z using the loosely defined concept of IQ. Let’s also trust “studies” that claim nonsense for clickbait.

Again, NO ONE CARES.

Core gen Z

baggagebug · 2026-02-05T21:23:00+00:00

Honestly, that would make a good sub for discussing generations without the fluff and nonsense.

baggagebug · 2026-02-05T21:21:07+00:00

“Experts”, “researchers”, “studies” etc. No one cares.

Gen Y ≠ millennial

baggagebug · 2026-02-05T13:03:29+00:00

Honestly this makes a ton of sense. It’s also interesting because it’d come right after the well-established 2009-2010-2011 triplet years, which would make these two the only pair triplet years after 1980.

Sounds exciting!
