Zennials

Zennials (sometimes called Zillennials) are the micro-generation of individuals born on the cusp of the Millennial and Generation Z demographic cohorts. Researchers and popular media cite birth years for this micro-generation from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. The majority of this cohort graduated high school in the late 2000s, reaching adulthood at some point in the 2010s. They are often the children of members of Generation Jones (younger Baby Boomers) and Generation X.

Zennials are described as being kids and toddlers at the time of the September 11th terrorist attacks, making them the first cohort to experience adolescence in a “post-9/11” world. Their outlook on life was further shaped by later crises such as the Great Recession of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this cohort witnessed the digital transition of the 2000s and 2010s throughout their childhood and youth: from dial-up Internet to high-speed mobile LTE Internet, from corded home phones to cell phones, from home computers to mobile devices with the capability to connect to the Internet, and from cellular flip phones to smartphones.
Zennials played a big role in the 2020 election cycle.

Zennial

Zennials are those born in the micro-generation between around 1991 to 1998 – in between Millennials and Generation Z. Some of us remember 9/11, others don't – but we were raised with the consequences of our changed society afterwards.

Zennials often have the same aspects of a young millennials childhood but also grew up with technology.

For example, we grew up with scooters and books but also with portable DVD players, Gameboys, and iPods (Apple being known for iPods before iPhones). We had the Motorola RAZOR era as our first phone.
I’m a zennial; I have the best traits of both millennials and generation Z.
