Zalpha

Often defined as 2009-2013, this cusp bridges Gen Z (1997-2012) and Gen Alpha (2010-2024). People born within these years feel too old for Gen Alpha and too young for Gen Z.

Key traits:

-They experienced the COVID-19 Pandemic as children.
-They don’t remember a time before smartphones existed
-They remember a time before AI but grew up during the midst of its boom.
Zoomer: I miss the good ‘ol days before smartphones existed.

Gen Alpha: I can’t imagine life without AI. I rely on it for everything

Zalpha: Can’t relate!
