I'm a Boomer/Gen Xer (1965), so I don't give Gen Z a whole lot of credit right now.
However, it suddenly dawned on me that we (the world) are at Gen Z. That is the end of the alphabet. Is it meant to signal the end of humanity? The last generation?
With the Vax, one might consider that the catch phrase seems a bit suspicious.
Where did the catch phrases "Gen X, Gen Z" come from? How did we go from Boomers to Gen X, Gen Z? Seems highly suspicious to me, considering our current circumstances.
Any thoughts?
I'm finding this:
The term Generation X was coined by photographer Robert Capa in the early 1950s. He used it as a title for a photo-essay about young men and women growing up immediately after the Second World War. The 'X' refers to the unknown.
The name became popular after Douglas Coupland published his novel entitled Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, concerning young adults during the late 1980s and their lifestyles.
After 'X', the names of Generation Y and Z (known together as Millennials) were coined sequentially. Now that we have reached the end of the alphabet, the terminology has switched to the Greek alphabet, the youngest generation (born after 2008) is called Alpha.

Thanks for the info.
All the Best!
No problem :)
