The generation of people born between the years 2010 and 2024. Successive to Gen Z, which ends in 2009, and preceding Gen Beta, which starts in 2025. Gen Alpha is currently divided into these cohorts:
Zalphas - 2010-2012: It is a misconception that this group is part of Gen Z; they are, in fact, the earliest cohort of Gen Alpha. Called Zalphas as they blur the line between Gen Z and Gen Alpha, possessing traits and cultural elements from both Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They are outliers who don't truly belong in either generation, much like the Zilennials (1997-1999) before them. Most Zalphas currently insist that they are "Gen Z" due to the popularization of 2012 as the end year of Gen Z. Zalphas can claim to be 2010s kids.
Early Gen Alpha - 2013-2015: The early cohort of the Gen Alpha years. Last ones born to experience COVID in school, and last ones to possess memories before the pandemic. These are the last "2010s kids".
Middle/Core Gen Alpha - 2016-2019: The center of Gen Alpha, considered most representative of the generation as a whole. Childhood dominated by TikTok brainrot, don't know any life before the pandemic, etc.
Late Gen Alpha - 2020-2023: Approaching the end of Gen Alpha. Cultural moments are undefined for them. The end year for Late Gen Alpha may end up anywhere from 2022-2025.
Alphetas? - 2023-2025?: It is still unknown if an outlier cohort between Gen Alpha and Gen Beta will end up existing, and where their years may fall.

Generation Alpha, or Gen Alpha, consists of people born between 2010 and 2024. I wonder how they will define themselves...

Get the Gen Alpha mug.People born between 2013 and 2024. Contrary to the belief of idiotic marketers online, Gen Alpha actually grew up in a world BEFORE generative AI existed, having a completely normal childhood. The only difference between Gen Alpha and Gen Z is that Gen Alphas grew up in a POST-COVID world while Gen Z grew up in a PRE-COVID world.

Generation Alpha is the demographic cohort succeeding Generation Z. Generation Beta is the proposed name of the following generation. While researchers and popular media generally identify the early 2010s as the starting birth years and the mid-2020s as the ending birth years, these ranges are not precisely defined and may vary depending on the source. Named after alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet, Generation Alpha is the first to be born entirely in the 21st century and the third millennium. The majority of Generation Alpha are the children of Millennials. Generation Alpha has been born at a time of falling fertility rates across much of the world, and experienced the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as young children. For those with access, children's entertainment has been increasingly dominated by electronic technology, social networks, and streaming services, with interest in traditional television concurrently falling.
