Generation Z+ / Generation ZZZ

Origin of word: Japanese

How to read Generation Z+: Generation Z plus
How to read Generation ZZZ: Generation Triple Z

Coincides with: mid to late Gen COVID (Japan) / (Gen Zalpha / late Gen Z depending on one's definition) (Pew/USA) / Heisei Kouhan (translation: Last half of Heisei era 1989-2004/5 = early, 2005/6-2019 being late) (Japan) / 1st wave Homelanders (4th turning) (Strauss-Howe/USA) 2006-2014 = first wave, 2015-2021/22 = second wave, 2022/2023 = third wave.

Kids who knew pre-COVID years, but don't know much about the time before iPhones/iPads. These are the K-8 kids at the beginning of the COVID pandemic and graduate high school sometime between the mid-20s and early-30s (c. 2005/6-2014/5). Incidentally, in the Strauss-Howe generational theory, this will be the first wave of Homelanders (4th turning) 2015-2021/22 being 2nd wave, 2022/23-29 being 3rd wave. These kids grew up with the iPad, OG Fortnite kids.

This is after the Yutori (1988?-1994/5?), Satori Generation (1996/7?-2004/2005) in Japan. This is also after the early gen COVID (Japan): 2001-2004/5.

The term was coined by Japanese high school students in various 2022/2023 surveys, claiming that they defined their generation as Gen COVID as the main indicator, and Generation Z+/ZZZ as a second choice. The reasoning behind the name of Generation Z+ / ZZZ (2005/2006-2014) differing from the earlier years of Gen Z (1997-2004/2005).

Note: Generation Z+ and Generation ZZZ can be interchanged.
Example 1:
Person A (Towards a kid born between 2010-2014): You're Gen alpha.
Person B (Born 2010-2014): No, I'm simply Generation Z+ / Generation ZZZ.

Example 2:
Person A (born early Gen Z; 1997-2005ish): Do you remember insert event?
Person B (born in the late 2000s; 2006-2009ish): No way, that's such a Generation Z thing.
Person A: But you're Generation Z, aren't you?
Person B: No, I'm Generation Z+ / Generation ZZZ.

Generic Love Types

Generic Love Types:

Generic Love Types refer to some of the basic different types of love that the ancient Greek philosophers had coined. The special thing is that each type of love has a specific purpose (which is to develop a specific trait).

Here are the main examples:

1) Storge Love: Is found within Cognatic Bonds, to develop *Kinship* among family members.

2) Philias Love: Is found within Fraternal Bonds, to develop *Masculinity* among men. Likewise, Philias Love can be found within Sororal Bonds, to develop *Femininity* among women. Philias love is generally a platonic, non-sexual love (similar to Storge Love).

3) Eros Love: Is found within Connubial Ties, to develop *Intimacy* among a husband and wife.

generational misogyny

Generational misogyny. Induced by a fear of being inferior or weaker. It gives the perpetrators a false sense of power over another individuals so they don’t have to feel inferior or weaker in their mind. Because this is generational, it becomes ingrained over time and the perpetrator starts to believe what he is saying, and in time, depending on the level shame binding he’s in, the perpetrator will further dehumanize and objectify women in attempt to further his delusional narrative. So there is a direct correlation between the level of self view point and the level of misogyny.
