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?
The next Generation after Z is "ALPHA" starting the Greek alphabet.
could this be the first Generation of Transhumanism?
ALPHA being a new chapter in mankind?
Good Point!
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 :)
I think they’re calling the next generation Gen Alpha. Which if they are anything like Gen Z, then boomers and we older millennials are still the “Alphas” 😂
was just thinking about this the other day, and believe there's something to it. especially since the Bible talks about number of generations, and Q tells us to read the Bible.
Was also born at the end of Gen X and it was basically 'we had no real cohesion' as in 'Generation ___' . You had 'Depression Era' give birth to 'Greatest Generation (Served in WW2) give birth to Baby boomers (post WW2 population explosion) give birth to 'Free Love/Hippie/Vietnam' generation give birth to us. Basically we were just a lump of kids that had nothing in common but Sega vs Nintendo arguments. Y and Z is just laziness naming.
Gen Z is after millennials, buddo.
The Greatest Generation raised Boomers they raised Millennials (genY) Gen x was Raise by the Silent generation , or younger boomers. Because the last few cycles were so unstable the gap between Gen X,Y,Z is like 12-15 years or less between them rather than the traditional 20-25 between Greatest Gen and Silent.

Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012. They are currently between 9 and 24 years old (nearly 68 million in the U.S.) Gen A: Generation Alpha starts with children born in 201 2 and will continue at least through 2025, maybe later (approximately 48 million people in the U.S.)
Thanks for the info.
What was termed "Alpha"?
I am curious where we get these little call signs. Is it from the media?
Children born right now are generation Alpha, most likely born from Millennials and Gen Z
