People born in 1997-2001 are usually seen as Gen Z (for 97-98 or 97-99, it'd be a cusp but on the Z side overall, depending on the person), but the earliest year you'd usually see classified as a Homelander is 2002.
2003 and 2005 are usually the two most common starting points for Homelanders; 2003 because they were born after the establishment of Homeland Security and 2005 because Strauss and Howe said
I like that. "Gen Z" being the last cohort or Millennials is way better than it representing 1995-2010 borns. That birth range disgusts me. I agree with the Homeland Gen starting in 2002 or 2003.
I don't like the 1995-2010 definition for Gen Z that they have on Reddit, either. It doesn't make sense. I'd dare to say that there is a much bigger generation gap between 90's babies and 10's babies, than with 80's babies and 00's babies (at least the earlier ones). 1995-2010 and 1997-2012, etc. are the mainstream spans out there defined by mostly demographers, who don't take as time to analyze generations historically, but rather define it just by pop culture, birth year, and demographics. It is similar to Baby Boomers being 1946-1964, when most early 60s babies don't truly fit in with Boomers. I feel like Strauss and Howe is much more accurate. Even if I was to start Gen Z in the 1990's, 1995 seems to early. The earliest would be 1997, but culturally 1999 seems like a better start. Even 2001 would be a better start point than 1995 to me. But, personally I think that it is 2003 or I just go with S&H's 2005 start date.
Probably, from an estimate, the transition from Millennial to Homelander could be extended long, from like 1994ish up until like 2005ish.
