Generation Z is the generation that were kids in the 2000s and 2010s, and are teenagers/young adults/tweens in the late 2010s to 2020s. If you are currently in 2022 below the age of 26 and older than 5, you're going to get called a zoomer.
Zoomer existence is marked by egirls, eboys, tiktok, discord, spotify, VRchat, roblox, brocoli haircuts and mullets. Popular music includes Tyler the Creator, Playboi Carti, ASAP Rocky, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, the Weeknd, the Garden, hyperpop like Charli XCX, breakcore like Sewerslvt, obscure rap scenes like Bladee and draingang, and of course bedroom indie pop like Clairo, Mild High Club, Beabadoobee and Mac Demarco. Popular TV shows include Euphoria, Sex Education, Stranger Things, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kakegurui and Attack on Titan.
Gen Z was too young or not born yet during 9/11, and (mostly) were in high school/middle school/college during quarantine. Some were in the work force and some not yet in middle school.
According to Wikipedia, Google, Pew Research and even congress, Gen Z was born from 1997 to 2012. However, many elitists who do not want to be associated with kids try to change it to 2000-2009, despite the societal reality of those kids being teenagers very soon after them and being seen as zoomers by the general public. It is likely Gen Z may even be lengthened in the future depending on the cultural path of the 2020s.

Get the Generation Z mug.in the NHL, a type of (intentional?) boarding -at an angle of course-the point of which is (supposedly?) to (intentionally injure?) the player of the opposing team.
N.B: this definition, with no offense meant for Zdeno Chara of The Boston Bruins or anyone else on The Boston Bruins organization, is named after Zdeno Chara's now infamous (among Montreal Canadiens fans) hit on Max Pacioretty in the 2010-2011 NHL season.

NHL fan forum post: Shame on you, dear Mr Gary Bettman (the current NHL Commissioner) for not having suspended Zdeno Chara for more games after his infamous z-chara board hit on Max Pacioretty.
reply to post: you idiot, asking yourself the question of whether or not Zdeno Chara intentionally injured Max Pacioretty is meaningless. Therefore stop attacking Gary Bettman as a person by shaming him.
However, whether intentional or not, a z-chara board hit IMHO is supposed to be banned in the NHL; an NHL game is not a Roman gladiator spectacle where injuring, and killing, one's opponents was not only tolerated, but even encouraged. We have taken the Latin concept of panem et circenses (bread and circuses in vox populi) far enough.

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.
