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.

I see these definitions shared on social media and find it rather annoying.  A span of 14 years, let alone 7 years, is hardly a "generation."  Especially since the people insisting on these definitions don't seem to feel the need to subdivide older generations in this way.  In fact, young people on social media rail against "baby boomers" without mentioning other generations at all, as if they see anyone with gray hair on their head as a baby boomer.
