How do kids in the thread feel about being born into the worst generation in history? Gen Z, Z for Zero

How are we already at the end of the alphabet? What comes after Z? Gen AA?

Am 31, and have made all the wrong choices. I have defensive failure. But I do think that perhaps everything happened for a reason. That it was always meant to be.

Lol I googled the question and one article (from 2005) proposed calling it “Generation Alpha”

As if the Zillennials weren’t emasculated enough, they’re going to be followed up by “Generation Alpha”? Lmao

It is nobody's fault what year they were born in, and I'd say that there are people who did well and people who didn't, in every generation. There isn't anything inherently better or worse, it is mainly a perception thing.

I call them generation dead cause there is no future for them. Then again there isn't much of a future for Gen Z or Millenials either.

Well, I can't wait until I am old enough to call Generation Delta (or whatever) the worst generation in history.

Generation Alpha seems to be next.

Why is ones age something to be proud of?

Are you proud you have survived to the age of 15 or what? Age is just the process of time, I dont see how anyone can be "proud" of it, except, perhaps, the exceedingly long lived.

What I get from their post is that maybe they're going against those bitter older types out there that bash Millennials for trends they don't like, or for things that're beyond their control, such as being born in an era with better technology, comforts, etc. The same goes for those who bash Gen Z and etc. arbitrarily.

If this is the case, good for them. You can't let people who want silly generational conflicts to bother you. Usually it is envy for what the youth have, or those who're too rigid in their mindset on how the world should work.

Are there really that many young teens here?

I was expecting adults and older teenagers to be making up more of the poll.

Time of year influences that very often. We have major influxes of teenagers at this time of year as school is out. As the summer progresses and fall starts, you see less youngsters and more adults although I think the median age range for NS is around 16-21 years of age.

Ah, NS Summer.

Somehow worse than NS Winter...although I may be biased, since I made my first nation in December 2016.

I’ve been here so long it doesn’t register. NS Summer, I mean. But if you were to check it out, you would see what I mean in terms of influx. We get a lot of young posters for the summer break with a drop in their participation as school starts again in the fall. Some do stay, but many don’t, or just come during school breaks.
