A Zillennial individual is someone who was born after Millennials (1981-1996), and born before the year 2000. They are not millennials but don’t quite feel like gen z either. They are the in between, the Florence Pugh and Kylie Jenners of the world. They might be your hot banker and new botox injector nurse. They love trashing on reality TV while consuming kardashian trends on Pinterest. They can’t function without a $7 froofy drink, but they don’t fully understand meme culture from 2016. You’ll catch them buying a $500 Shein haul at 8am, yet sporting their fast fashion to a climate change protest at 3pm. Most of them can’t stand a 9-5 so they opted to become realtors and influencers. They value a good low rise jean and stick their ungloved arms in the musty good will bins for hours on end to dig for vintage Dior. They try really hard to be girls-girls but they don’t hold Lana del Rey and Doja Cat accountable for being problematic. Many sufferer from eating disorders after consuming americas top model, K-pop, instagram coquette core, body checking, and brandy Melville in their youth, but are now obsessed with BBL plastic surgery trends, and gym rat culture. They idolize Timothy Chalemet, and the Hadid Sisters. Many aspire to change the world but only commit to performative social media activism.
Stacy says she’s anti consumerist but her new “day in the life of a Zillenniel” blog on YouTube shows her unboxing a $750 Temu Haul in her NYU dorm, plus I hear she’s studying environmental law.

They can relate to multiple audiences and generations.
They grew up in a time where technology was transitioning from Analog to Digital, they experienced and can easily relate to both of these worlds. They act as a bridge to the gap between generations and they can communicate effectively with both.
They were there for the early days of Youtube, and they're still there. They probably started a channel that they forgot about hoping to be the next "CharlieIsSoCoolLike". They blue-toothed N-Dubz tracks to each other at school and illegally downloaded torrents to their iPod Touch's. They care about bringing generations together and are often budding activists for positive societal change.
As a self-proclaimed 'lost generation', they often make up for their lack of acknowledgement through immense levels of humour, understanding and of course, wild creativity.
