(short for Generation Z)
Most sources say Gen Zers were born between 1997 and 2015. Others say 1995-2009. The common links include being too young to understand 9/11 and growing up with easy tech access.
The older members are in their early 20s and entering a crummy job market while the youngest cohorts are almost ready for kindergarten. Elementary students have phones at school and young children play on tablets rather than watch cartoons.
Many older people claim that Gen Zers are narcissistic and lazy, but some news articles say that other generations showed similar characteristics in their youth.
They're still young, but they've already significantly influenced pop culture with memes and the like.
