Wikipedia defines generation alpha as 2010-25, this looks like preliminary dates for new artists. Millennials and Pew's Z are just two waves of civics. At least according to my idea that coming of age is more important than early childhood.
My grandchildren and their friends are all born in 2004 or 2005. Noe are Millennials in the archetypal sense of the term, though at least a few have Artist tendencies. If 2008 began the 4T, then 2010 is simply to late.
People born in 2004 will be 26 in 2030. It means many of them will have worked full-time, married and become parents in the 4T. An Artist is supposed to have only childhood or adolescent experiences of the 4T, not adult ones. Though my niece was born in 2005 and my friend's kids in 2008, for now they are more artists than civics, but a prolonged 4T might remake them into cuspers.
For the same reason I doubt people born in 1982-5 are millennials.
You can't really take 1982-85 out of Millennials. 1982 babies are literally who the term was coined for in the first place, and people born in 1983-85 came of age even later.
2010 is simply too late for Millennials to end. They were born after the 2008 Financial Crisis, and there's a high likelihood they will come of age during 1T. There are a lot of people who are trying to boot me out of Millennials because I didn't vote in the Trump vs. Hillary election and was only two when 9/11 happened (I generally see this behavior coming from questionable 97-98 babies), and I believe there is even someone on here (might no longer be active) who doesn't include 1999 in Millennials.
