Zillennial

A micro-generation between 1992 and 1996. Those who do not fit into millennial culture and relate more to zoomer (1997-2012) culture.

Rapid change of technology, politics, media, and life around the late 2000s and early 2010s creates a divide for people who were only children during that time. Being teenagers, late millennials often feel they are more on the side of Gen Z who were entering teen years, rather than relating to older millennials who remember and dealt with the world as adults before and during such a massive cultural shift.
Zillennial makes sense for early to mid 90s babies who only remember the 90s as childhood thoughts. Pure zoomers don't remember the 90s. Millennials owned the 90s.

"Being born in 1994 makes millennial culture feel kinda foreign to me. I'm at the cusp, making me a zillennial."

If you didn't have STRONG feelings when 9/11 happened, you're not a millennial. If you vaguely remember it or too young to understand, zillennial.

Simran: Are we studying tonight as planned?
Jasmine: Of course, bruh. I’ll not make millennial plans

GillennialX 

It's when a Generation X population member behaves like ones of the Millennial generation.
David had a meltdown and felt entitled to help over a problem he was having, for a 40-year-old mature man he surely exhibited some GillennialX behavior.

Zillenial 

In-between generation born from 1993 to 1998. These in-betweeners are neither 100% Millennials nor 100% Gen Z, they are a mix of both.
I feel identified with both Millennials and Gen Z, so im a Zillenial!

Zillennials 

Microgeneration of people born between 1992/1993-1998
Too young to be a Millennial but too old to be a Gen Z'er.
- Zillennials are the forgotten middle children between Millennials and Gen Z

Millennial Promotion 

When you get more responsibility at work but no raise.
Person 1- "Oh wow Daves the supervisor now"

Person 2- "Yeah but he still makes the same as us"

Person 1- " Ha, looks like he got a millennial promotion"
