Someone born in 2002/2003, who actually remembers the 2000s (and even spent some of their core childhood in the 2000s yet spent half or more of their childhood in the 2010s) unlike someone born in 2006 going like ''I WUS TREE IN 2009 IM A 2000Z KID'' even though they really wouldn't remember much of that decade if anything at all (while spending basically almost their entire childhood in the 2010s).
2006 born: "IM A HONERERY 2000Z KID''
2003 born: ''But weren't you like 3 when the 2000s ended? What could you possibly remember from the 2000s?''
2006 born: ''......''
2003 born: ''Yeah exactly. You see, childhood is 2/3-12. I spent half of my childhood in the 2000s, therefore I am an honorary 2000s kid. You, on the other hand, are a pure 2010s kid.''

First year college students (typically age 18-19) who think they're hot shit because they just got out of high school and are now legal adults (even though they act no different from a high schooler). They're just college freshman. The bottom of the college food chain.
College Freshman: ''Wow. Oh my god, I'm now a college student. I'm so much better than those inferior high school students. They're just little babies.''
College Senior: ''But weren't you yourself in high school like not even four months ago''
College Freshman: ''OK Boomer''
College Senior: ''I'm only 4 years older than you though''
College Freshman: ''Didn't ask''
(College Senior leaves conversation before they lost anymore brain cells)

Kids between the ages of 5 and 12, who say stuff like "sus", and will cry and call you a "hacker" if you win.
If you were born in 2008 or later, you're the Among Us kids (since you were 12 or younger when the game became popular).

Gen Z 1.0: "I remember the 2000s. Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Webkinz, Club Penguin, Nick before they got rid of the splat logo in 2009, pre-2010 Cartoon Network, late 2000s era of AMVs and YTPs on YouTube, etc. Ahh, good times...."

Gen Z 1.0: "I can't believe we're the same generation as you..."

According to Reddit's generational subs, 2002 was "the last good birth year" or something apparently.
Some 2000 born: "If you were born in 2002 or earlier, then you are "Early Zoomer" aka part of the cool kids club. If you were born in 2003 or later, then you are inferior to us in every possible way. We don't relate to you guys at all. You guys are part of the "Tiktok Fortnite iPad Skibidi Rizz Jake Paul Cocomelon" generation. You guys don't even remember the 2000s, you guys are purely 2010s kids and purely 2020s teens. LMFAO"

People born between the years 2004 and 2011
Started school during the Obama administration and also after the end of the Great Recession (meaning they either don't remember it or weren't alive during it), started middle school before the AI boom, graduated high school in a post-Covid world but still within the 2020s decade, spent a majority of their childhood post-Iraq War but pre-Covid (the peak is one's 8th birthday), they're more nostalgic over the 2010s over the 2000s for that reason, etc.

Gen Z 2.0 is a different breed from Gen Z 1.0
For example, while ALL of Gen Z 1.0 can actually remember a decent amount of the 2000s (or even all of it in the case of it's older members), Gen Z 2.0 either can't remember it or wasn't alive during it (depending on when they were born).
