The name that is currently given to the Generation born after Generation Z (Roughly born from 1997-2012). Some other names this generation is colloquially referred to as are "Gen Autonomous, the AI Gen, and Gen A" .
The starting year (2013) is used for the sole fact that it is the year the Tesla Model S was commercially available to consumers and was also the first electric car to top the monthly new-car-sales ranking in any country. Twice in Norway in 2013 and once in Denmark in December 2015. 2013 was also the first year that smartphone sales overtook the sale of dumb/feature/basic cell phones meaning that Gen Alpha will not know a world without always being connected online everywhere. COVID is another event that most Gen Alpha's will not be cognizant for or vaguely remember because of their young age at the time.
Most Gen Alpha's will be the children of Millennials (1981-1996). However, as of 2021 there is actually an on-going trend of Millennials having less children than any other generation. With a record low globally of only 58.3 out of 1000 women giving birth. Of course there are some ideas of this happening such as such as the 2020 Global Pandemic ( COVID ), and also the inequality gap between different age groups also and the general economy of the world currently. Because of this it is predicted that Gen Alpha may share a trend of being part of a baby bust just like Gen X (1965-1980) were a part of.

Gen Alpha are the first generation to be fully born into a world with AI and Autonomous technology. Often critiqued by Gen Z's for being "sticky iPad kids" and "tablet/iPad babies", most are unaware that the majority of Gen Alpha's aren't even born yet.
They are predicted to be the smartest most cautiously aware generation, "future concerned" generation as well. Alpha's parents were told "they can be anything they want" as they grew up. Gen Alpha will most likely be told the complete opposite due to jobs becoming outdated/unneeded as AI technology progresses. It's also possible that Gen Alpha will have their entire lives completely saved on social media/technology as physical media is pretty much nonexistent at this point.
- Precise date range of Gen Alpha: 2013-2028
- Coming of Age (turning 18 Years old): 2031-2046
Example of the term "Gen Alpha" used in a sentence:
Person 1: "Ugh, I can't stand these little Gen Z brats! I hate how they are in Elementary School and they are ALREADY being annoying on games I play!"
Person 2: "You're actually thinking about Gen Alpha! Most Gen Z'ers are in high school or college now!"
Person 1: "Wait... Generation Alpha? That's a thing...?"

The new "swag " and "yolo"
Influenced by cringy SoundCloud rappers / social media stars with face tattoos and weird clothing. While usually just acting obnoxious.
Generation Z is very influenced by this shit from their trash music and social media.

White kid with colored dreads, face tattoos, doing the fortnite dance in public to Lil Pump and yelling "it's lit" is an example of "clout" culture.
