1995

Xennial 1978-1985
Millennial 1986-94
Gen Z 1995-2009
Gen Alpha 2010+

They base it on things like type of cartoons and toys one experienced in childhood. 1995 was chosen as the beginning of gen Z because Internet Explorer was launched back then.

But even this is inaccurate because working class kids were often raised on the media like children's films for example several years before their time or went to garage sales or dollar stores to get toys that were behind the times or more "dangerous" than what was in the stores. Also schools that were less funded and parks for example took far longer to tear down the old equipment. Also some households are more behind in tech so it may have taken them longer to get cell phones. Others are early adapters. There are kids from working class families or low tech adapting families born in 2000 for example that remember VHS or dial up internet.
