I’m not sure where this would come from exactly. I was born in 1996 and graduated school a year late so most of my peers were born in 1997. I’m in the military at the moment so most of my peers were born in the mid 90’s to early 00’s and “zoomer” is the term virtually any of them born after 1997 use. 1995-1997 born ones seem to be the cutoff between millennial and zoomer. Unless the crisis you’re thinking of can unite millennials in their early 40’s in 2025-2027 with 22 year olds, I don’t see how “Zoomer” will fall out of use with my peers.
That would require a full scale war within the country or World War III.
That's very likely. It might not be as full scale as the term implies though, and that won't be necessary. The nation will come to a focus.
Zoomer is a strange name. I only heard about zoom during the virus crisis. Late millies born after 1996 have all been using zoom?
Yeah, my college friends (1997 and 2002) are using them. Zoomer is "Boomer", but starting with a Z for Gen Z. Sometimes I hear "ok Moomer" for Millennials, but that doesn't sound nearly as good as "Zoomer", although Zoom was created in 2011.
