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.

Gen z

Gen z is usually refered to the generation of people that are lazy and sensitive to everything. The people who say this are most likely millennials that are more sensitive and try to "get hip with the kids", failing miserably and spending their time on urban dictionary because they are angry little pussies that don't know how to grow up.
The reason why Gen z is lazy can't take a fucking joke is because most of them are either burnt out from school or phone addicted little pricks. Also I'm not even gonna lie, most of the "jokes" that Gen z hears aren't even funnier than a brick. Most of them are just literal racism that have a smidge of seriousness.

Person: Haha I'm gonna r*pe you n*ga ur so fucking gay
Gen z person: That's not even funny get a life
Person: You're just being oversensitive you fucking phone addict
Gen z: ...

Gen Z

Gen Z is everybody born between the years of 1998 to 2011. Most Gen Z's take jokes way to seriously, are racist without knowing it, and overall are just not fun to hang around, but there is a good 25% of them who are great friends, loyal, and can laugh at a good joke. I believe the Gen Z may be the last decent generation. It's all a downward spiral from Gen alpha. according to research 42% of gen Z is depressed. Along with this, most of Gen Z is very anti social as well.

Millennials: You guys should go play outside, it's a beautiful day and the sun is shining.

Gen alpha: I am playing outside... I just got this new game, it's called outdoor adventures.

Gen Z: Does it involve interacting with more then two people at a time?

Millennials: No?

Gen Z: Okay I'll go out for a bit because animals are better then people and I just saw a pretty butterfly.

Gen alpha: Wow, OCD much?

Gen Z: (starts sobbing) What's that supposed to mean!?!

Gen Z Me, Bruh?

"Gen Z Me Bruh?" Is a term used in "Trouble" in Eminem's album: "Death of Slim Shady."

This is a term used when a subject feels unapologetic for being offensive or dark and to mock Generation Z for being offended over said offensive or dark statement or opinion.

"Hey dude, you can't just say that you hate blind people and that deaf people suck"

"What are you gonna do? Gen Z Me, Bruh?"
