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.

General Quarters

General Quarters (GQ), sometimes referred to as all hands or battle stations is the Navy version of a fire drill, only difference being that it could happen at any moment. You could be taking a shower or masturbating, but as soon as those fucking alarms start blaring and you hear the announcement, it doesn’t matter if you’re soaking fucking wet or bricked, you gotta quickly stop what you’re going, get into your uniform and your gear, and run to your assigned battle station or whatever the fuck they assigned you to when you checked in
Seaman Johnson: “boy I can’t wait to finally get some alone time in my rack”

MME3 Chad: “Better make it quick, you don’t want General Quarters to interrupt your jagoff session”
