      Every other definition of Gen Z seems to be 1992-2015ish. But I will also add that every time one of the fossils in our department begins talking about Gen Z, I argue that since no one can come to any consistent definition of generations, just say “young people” if thats what you’re using it to mean. In return, my boss seems to have expanded the definition to “anyone below 40”.

        That’s stupid, first, I thought a generation consisted of a 20 years, now it’s 15 years (Gen X seems to have started and ended on 1965-1980)… then 17 years?

        Gosh, this is stupid…

          It’s not a fixed amount of time, I’m pretty sure it has to do with how society progresses/changes and big events that influence how people develop. If it was just a fixed period it would be basically useless, because of not being sensitive to what can bring differences to generations
