I see paragraphs of female gen z interests like fanfiction but where is opium? Ken Carson? Nettspend? Phonk? Gym culture?? This page makes me and my generation as a whole feel underrepresented on this website and I find it quite demeaning… I would gladly edit these facts in with citations and sources however the page is protected 2A01:B340:63:BE47:E08B:C750:95C4:99C7 (talk) 18:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

damn! u aint even lying 78.16.52.197 (talk) 19:55, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

None of the 'interests' that you've mentioned above pertain to the majority of Generation Z. In fact, much of what you mentioned sounds like it is an interest of a small fraction of Generation Z.

Late 90s?

Who keeps changing the top part and say late 90s?

its abritary. A few popular sources start gen z in 1995

It isn't arbitrary. Majority of sources that quote the term "Generation Z" in 2024 use a starting date of 1997. Yes, there are some sources that use the start years of 1995, or 1996, but they are not widely used. That is why the word "generally" is included above.

Those two sources you've provided are either a year old (C-Span) while the other one (Mark McCrindle) has not been updated since 2020. Look at the infographic chart, it states the smart speakers are "new".

And so what so you think you can kick anyone out of a generation when you feel like??

Heres an updated source so its actually a 50/50 thing not "majority"
