zillenniel

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.

Zillenial 

In-between generation born from 1993 to 1998. These in-betweeners are neither 100% Millennials nor 100% Gen Z, they are a mix of both.

I feel identified with both Millennials and Gen Z, so im a Zillenial!

Zillennials 

Micro-generation of people born on the cusp of the Millennial generation and Gen Z.

Most authors and researchers use the date range 1993-1998 for the definition.
Zillennials refer to themselves as being "too young for Millennials but too old for Gen Z"

- Mike: I really don't feel like a Millennial, i can't relate to 80's babies
-Sarah: Well, maybe you are a cusper
-Mike: Really?

-Sarah: Yeah, they are called Zillennials! Born between '93 and '98

Zillenial*

A micro-generation, born between 1993-1998.

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.

Employer: "What about Charlotte?"
Employer 2: "It says here she's a Zillenial* so she can tap into multiple audiences"
Employer: "Oh shit, that's actually very useful, definitely worth inviting to an interview for this role"

Zillennial 

A microgeneration consisting of persons born 3 years before the end of Millennials and/or 3 years after the start of Generation Z (1992 - 1998).

Similar to Xennials (also known as the Oregon Trail Generation), born 3 years before the end of Generation X and/or 3 years after the start of Millennials (1977 - 1983).

You might be a zillennial if you can remember having VHS tapes as a child.

You might be a zillennial if you came of age (graduated from high school) in the 2010s.

Zillenial 

A micro "generation" of many of those born from, aproximately, from 1993 to 1998.

They are those who, having being born in the last years of the Y Generation and in the first years of the Z Generation, due to their personal circumstances, shares a lot of the traits of a millenial, if they are zoomers, or the contrary, a lot of traits of the zoomers if they're millenials.

Just as, a zoomer can have remarkable traits of the X generation and not being a true mix of differents generations, there are people born before of after the popular cohort of zillenials, and still be zillenials, or even people born between those years who are not zillenials but a millenial to the core o zoomer to the core.

Zillenials, more than anaything, are people wich were 90' or 2000' kids outside countries not dominated by "the core west values", like China, 90' or 2000' kids with traits of both millenials and zoomers, who lived in countries like Japan, Korea, USA, Portugal, Mexico or Chile.

“Which generation are you apart of?”

“I’m apart of the micro-generation known as Zillenial, but it also true I'm part of the more extensive Y Generation.”
