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.
