Everyone's talking about Zillenials. Turns out my generation is not only the luckiest in the workforce, but is a ‘superpower generation’ too - and I’m not surprised. Zillennials, born anywhere between 1993 to 1998, have a unique position of being close enough to Gen Z that we can understand their strange language and behaviours, but with enough years behind us that our behaviour hasn’t been totally and irrevocably warped by the forces that f***ed up their youth. We were on the last helicopter out of TikTok-gon.
In my opinion, Gen Z is the world’s worst generation. If this statement is sparking a feeling of deja vu, fear not, you’re not imagining it. Less than 10 years ago, millennials were the primary target of generational ire, inspiring headlines like ‘Generation Wuss’, ‘A boss’s guide to managing bratty Millennials’, and ‘Snowflake generation: Why Millennials are too soft and who’s to blame.’
