digiteen 

A term for people who were born between 1999-present.

Digital + teen.

We use computers as tools, not just productivity devices. We see our computers as art, not just a window to do one thing.

We see the world in general as art. We slow down, observe and just have fun. In other words we're just vibin'.
Don't even bother to use it in every day language. It's a made up word because Gen Z could go without a name forever. The teen comes from the fact that everybody is either a young adult or an adolescent. 22...21...20...19...18...etc. Honestly YZK made things break. But it was so long ago, most young adults forget about it, weren't there, or were too young to remember anything. Now we have phones in our pockets that are a window to everything in a box. Portability brought us back into the world, but if you've got the right balance, you take in the whole world around you and stay in decent shape. We're only young once. Let's enjoy it while we can. Oh well. Enjoy the new word. Digiteen. Better than Gen Z, right?

Digiteen 

Young people born between 1999 and the present day.

A name for Gen Z.

The informed but observant.

The young and confident and free.
Digiteen 1: Why are we called Gen Z again?

Digiteen 2: Because old heads forgot to name stuff anymore after Y2K. They're so stuck in their ways they scared themselves out of computers just cause some computers did weird stuff. That's what computers do. Lol

We should make up our own name. How about Digiteen. DigitalTeen? You know just take ownership of our word so we can take ownership of our own shit.

Digiteen 1: Sounds good to me.
