A discussion on how the counter-culture is now conservative.  I'm actually surprised this is still on YouTube but this forum doesn't host for vid (dot) me.

WTF is "Generation Z?"

Some call them "Homelanders" or "New Adaptives", I've even heard "digital natives" thrown around.  Gen Zee or Zed (depending on country, though I prefer Zed, I think it sounds cooler) would be the adaptive generation that follos the Millies.  I disagree with Dave Cullen as to their birth dates though.  Someone born in 1996 should have vague memories of 9-11.  I generally place them around 1998-Present.  The oldest are just now becoming adults.

My adoptive son (and really he adopted us than the other way round--kinda like a cat), a 1999 cohort, fairly accurately represents at least the early wave of them.  That Early Wave typically has Xer parents, and some of the very oldest may have Millie siblings.

I also posted an other video on this generation by Styxhexenhammer666 in the Generations forum too.

You are completely outwith S&H here. You have incorrect generational operational definitions.

I disagree.  A new generation starts being born a few years before the turning change over.  It is entirely possibly what is being called Generation Z is in fact a late wave of the Millies, but they are substantially different from the older wave if they are.  The problem I think we're encountering is that it is difficult to define exactly when the 4T started.  I start it in 2005, which means that the oldest of Z would be 7 or 8.

There could also be a Millie/Z cusp dating from 1998-2002 with the core born from 2002-20??.

It has been noted on this forum and the old one that fuzzyness between the generations happens.
