Micro-generation or sub-generation of people born between 1993-1998 (the most widely accepted date range). This micro-generation, as well as others, is the most accurate way to divide generations, because generations are not linear but transitional, they don't end overnight from one year to another, that doesn't make any sense.
This cuspy group doesn't relate completely neither with 80's Millennials nor with 2000's Gen Z'ers, because of their mixed nature (having traits of both generations). They were born and grew up at the same time as the World Wide Web (Internet), so they don't have memories of the pre-Internet world, but they do have memories of the world before being completely absorbed by the Internet.
The Zillenials spent most of their childhood years in the 2000's decade, so they were shaped by it.
They most certainly have Cuspers or Gen X'ers parents born in the 60's and 70's, unlike 80's Millennials who most certainly have Baby Boomer parents born in the 50's, so the world view of Zillenials is less conservative and more open minded, and therefore more prone to adopt "Woke" ideology.
Even though they formally belong to either the Millennial or Z generations, according to Anglo "think tanks" Pew Research Center (using 1981-1996) or Resolution Foundation (using 1981-2000), most of Zillenials view themselves as a separate generation, with certain characteristics that make them different from the rest of Millennials or Gen Z'ers,

-Tom: "I'm a Zillenial"
-Amanda: "A Zillenial? what's that?
-Tom: "Those of us born around 93-98"
-Amanda: "But those born in 93-96 are Millennials according to Google"
-Tom: "Nah, we are Zillenials, that 81-96 range was made by old Boomers who don't understand us 90's babies"
