To clarify, the "generation" she's talking about here refers to those born from 1995 to 2015, whom she calls "iGen" (probably as apt a name as any for the Millennial/artist cuspers).
Let's see. 13.
2017 - 13 = 2004. Millie.
I'm just pointing out the age group the author is referring to. Some are Millies, some are artists.
From the article:
Quote:The more I pored over yearly surveys of teen attitudes and behaviors, and the more I talked with young people like Athena, the clearer it became that theirs is a generation shaped by the smartphone and by the concomitant rise of social media. I call them iGen. Born between 1995 and 2012, members of this generation are growing up with smartphones, have an Instagram account before they start high school, and do not remember a time before the internet. The Millennials grew up with the web as well, but it wasn’t ever-present in their lives, at hand at all times, day and night. iGen’s oldest members were early adolescents when the iPhone was introduced, in 2007, and high-school students when the iPad entered the scene, in 2010. A 2017 survey of more than 5,000 American teens found that three out of four owned an iPhone.
