My parents were Silent Generation, the most important attribute I received from them was my upbringing. They taught me values, how to live with discipline, and how to cope during crisis. They were great parents.
Yeah. But the Greatest generation was even more into discipline and values, and coping with a crises due to the Depression and WW2. But really, the generation before them was even stronger yet in those qualities, they lived through WW1 and in a world where smallpox, scarlet fever, and polio was still widespread. That generation grew up while there were still stage coaches around, and men always dressed formal and women were always in floorlength dresses. They weren't included in this video because they're the most recent generation where there are now absolutely no more survivors left
My parents were also from the Silent Generation. My dad summed it up best, "don't depend on a man to support you, get your education, and be independent. You can be anything you want to be as long as you put your mind to it. Everyone is replaceable (in the workplace only), always respect other people's life journey because those who live in glass houses should not throw stones." And so much more. My parents weren't perfect, but they were to me.
My parents were silent gen too . Loved them both so much and thankful
Sorry to ruin your day but generations don't mean shit lol people just want to feel special and want something as an individual for themselves 🙄😐
@@SkubbaTay actually, I humbly disagree with you. There is peer reviewed evidence based research to prove your comment is incorrect.
I actually loved the fact you're laying out likely possibilities for the future generations. Although it may not be all true, it's good having an idea where we're heading

Nice video covering generations, naming and key things of each generation 👏👏👏
As a generation Z born in 1999, I can defiantly relate more to a generation X or Millennial as I have a love for music during the 80s and 90s and personally love any kind of culture related to those decades. I think those two generations had way more fun growing up then we did.
I am a Xennial. I was born in 1981 right smack in the middle of the Gen X and Millennial switchover. I relate to Gen X because I my childhood was completely analog, but also Millennials since my teenage years became digital. I feel I had the best of both worlds. As a young teen, my friends and I ran around the community with no cellphones nor a care or worry in the world. Although when I turned 16-17 and could drive, I got my first Nokia cellphone. I was 13-14 when the internet became a thing albeit on a 56k dial-up network....lol! It was so slow but we didn't know any better! I grew up listening to late 80s-early 90s rock and witnessed the birth of rap music along with alternative music! Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs, Linkin Park, and Pendulum were my favorite bands/groups! I truly think I had the best of both of these Generations. I also believe I had the most fun growing up and experienced the time when everything we know now was brand new. Great times!
I'm a millennial born in 1987 and I can confirm that my generation had a great time growing up. The downside of being an old millennial is that I get nostalgic when I hear music from the 2000s.
I was born in 99 and I am gen z
My kids are gen Z and I hear them listening to nirvana and music from my time and they love it I’m gen x and I think gen Z is a lot like gen x.
I'm 1997 I do feel the same. but tbh since I lived my whole life in a small town and we recieved things later on like for me I didn't get my first phone till I'm almost in high school and before that I wasn't addicted to any device except maybe TV (funny how even tho I'm gen Z but I actually wish if there was no smart phones or social media and I miss the life before high school before BlackBerry) it's sad how when I go out with my friends they're so addicted to their phones and TikTok. but I'm trying to accept how life is right now and I'll keep trying to spend less time on devices cause it feels peaceful

As someone born in 99, i relate much more to millennials than gen z. I think it depends a lot of where you're from and how was your childhood.
lol and you´re styled like the 80´s
Me too
Agreed. TBH when I was watching the video it really felt like they got that wrong. I would consider us to be millenials myself.
That's very very true.
The 80s lasted until 1995.
I (a boomer) once commented to my mother, a serious student of classical music, that it was cool how she and Dad made efforts to enjoy our music, which was, frankly, no wonder, since it was the best ever. She said she remembered her mother griping about mom's brother's music, as he was in a jazz band. Then my grandmother had laughed as she recalled her own father complaining, "What is this "Everybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' the Turkey Trot"? (1911)
As a bb do you feel this is reflected in boomer child rearing? Millennials have shared stories of self oriented parents- dismissing and questioning the future generations.
@@ClementineShmementine I don't know. People have always complained about parents who were so wrapped up in work that they neglected their families, or young people thinking their parents just didn't understand them, and so on. Everybody complains and loves to complain. However, I think families stayed at home more back then and did things together, even if it was just watching favorite TV shows. You didn't have 5 people in a house, each glued to a separate device. I grew up thinking that the family was a unit and the basic unit of society. I raised my three children that way, and I see it in their own kids. Maybe I was lucky.
I think gen z and millennial are very similar, lots of their ‘popular’ things are interchangeable, at least in this video
Greatest Generation = The Theater Generation. Silent Generation = The Radio Generation. Baby Bommers = The Black & White TV Generation. Generation X = The Coloring TV Generation. Millennials = The Computer Generation. Generation Z = The Mobile Phone Generation. Alpha Generation = The Netflix Generation.

@@FriedRice3519 because those days most of the shows are streaming and Tv channels start dying. It should called streaming generation but I called Netflix since it is overrated more than HBO Max, Hulu, Disney+.......etc. And actually most of Millennials use pirating by torrent, one of the reason why they are the computer generation and as for Gen Z half are pirating and other half are stream subscribers.
When I was a kid, I thought the Greatest Generation were always old, and backward. As an adult, I realised that they were some of the toughest, who went from deprivation to fighting a war to white collar jobs. My grandfather hated hearing my mother's Bob Dylan records and seeing her in mini skirts, and 30 years later my mother hated that I dyed my hair green, pierced my nose, wouldn't tuck my shirt in, and didn't have a summer job. Now I get pissed at my teenage relatives for being lazy, unmotivated, entitled, and how they wallow in helplessness. But compared to my parents, I was overentitled and lazy. Just like my father was overentitled compared to his father.
We’re getting worse and worse lol

I'm a Cusper - born on the threshold between the Baby Boomers and Gen-X, though I sometimes feel like part of the Silent Generation as I was raised primarily by my grandparents (and my father was the youngest of their seven children, two of whom died very young). I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with my great-grandparents (The Greatest Generation), spent a great deal of time in my grandparents' social circles, accelerated through school so most of my classmates were late Baby Boomers, and most of my neighborhood friends were early Gen-Xers. Needless to say, I'm quite eclectic. My top-ten favorite movies span more than a hundred years, from H.G.Wells' "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" through mid-century classics like "Heaven Can Wait" and "The Quiet Man" and on to "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" and "Mitchells vs the Machines". From my perspective, the big things we lost - primarily around Millennials - were learning to be self-sufficient, learning how to deal with failure, and true empathy. Millennials and Gen-Zers, by and large, are highly self-entitled and believe they should simply be given anything they want. They go six-figures into debt to 'earn' ludicrous college degrees in worthless majors, then throw tantrums because they're hardly even fit for minimum-wage jobs. The most important lesson my great-grandfather ever taught me: "Life will kick you in the teeth and knock you face-first into the mud any chance it gets; that's just life. But it don't matter if everyone offers you a hand up or no one does - the only person who decides whether you*stay* in the mud is you." The second-most important lesson he taught me was: "The toughest thing about being decent folk is having to stand up for the rights of indecent folk. If they don't have the right to live their lives as they see fit, you don't have the right to do it either." This was a man who lied about his age to fight in both World Wars - he wasn't quite 15 when he enlisted in The Great War and had just turned 40 when he enlisted in World War II. When I asked him why he did that, he said there was a long answer and a short answer. The long answer went on to explain one's individual duty to their family, friends, community, and country. The short answer: "I didn't want to learn German."
The fact that SpongeBob square pants was not even made in the millennials 💀

I like that you show the positive sides of every generation. I often hear a generation talking bad about another. We can learn so much from each other, we should stop to say: "Ok Boomer" or: "The younger are selfish"... stop fighting, let's learn :-) I was born 1985 but never heard of Beyblade... we all had knife to make ornaments in wooden things or tamagotchi... to get stressed even in the night, ahahah Really, really interesting the hairstyles, the idols... You did a really good, intersting video, thank you! I myself preffered the idols of a generation before me. Cartoons are timeless and generationsless :-)
i think ok boomer is a meme if i can recall
My tamagotchi died :(
I agree, we should learn instead of judge! As far as cartoons, I as a Gen Z grew up on SpongeBob, Little Einsteins, Phineas and Ferb, and Fairlyodd Parents What cartoons did you watch?
fk I though being 22 saves me from gen z
I guess the cartoons are the ones parents gave their children to watch, somehow children watched cartoons from the older generation
Anybody else love generation X? I'm a millennial and seems they were born at a time where you could still get ahead in America and Social media had not ruined everything.
I’m an 84 baby and I sure as shit am not a millennial. I remember growing up social media wasn’t a thing. Or cell phones. It was a great time.
I'm born in 81 so like a cusp.. I feel like I relate with both Gen X and Millennials
Yep the generation of muscle cars and mini skirts.
As a gen x-er I can say we tried to get ahead but the system was not as supportive as it was for my folks. Example: NONE of my friends growing up were ever in daycare. MOST of my friends as an adult had to put their kids in care. Huge difference between the generations
I don’t. Sorry. Had Gen X parents and they did drugs, alcoholic, verbally abused me and neglected me. I had to “pull myself up by the boot straps” to escape
You just summoned the whole fandom💖💖🖤🖤
The gen z are definitely open-minded and sensitive. A little TOOO much 🤣
I really really miss my WWII era friends. I learned a lot from the Greatest Generation
My friends August Caccavone and Eugene Iconetti are still around
My Great Grandma who’s 94 this year is still alive. I’m a Zoomer, and I learn a lot from her every day. She is very strong, dedicated, determined, and compassionate. She cares deeply for other people, and has helped raise me into the person I am today. I’ll be 17 this July, and I’m so happy that she gets to be here, with us, healthy: getting watch her Great Granddaughter grow up! I am grateful and thankful for it every day. It’s hard to imagine what they’ve gone through: the Great Depression, television, WW2, MLK, JFK, the computer, the internet, the first video games, 9/11, the first smart phones, social media, the first electric cars, the first self driving cars, the first Ai, Alexa and Siri, and of course the fight between Russia and Ukraine. It’s crazy how much the world has changed in their lifetimes. I can only imagine. 😯🤯💖
Obviously I missed a lot of things in that list, I was just covering bases. I’m sorry for the long paragraph, I just wanted to share how much it means to me that I got to know someone from such a strong, brave, and inspiring Generation.

Gen Z: Sensitive *Well you are not wrong there.* Can’t even make one joke on this planet without having someone analyzing everything and attacking you 😂
Everyone is a sugar cube these days
It's not like being sensitive is overall a bad trait. Sensitivity teaches empathy, and even if it can be overwhelming at times, Gen Z is aware that empathy is key to understand people, and to fight for the underdog
Straight up fact! My kids are Gen Zs... Sensitive as Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu$@&!! LOL

I'm a Millennial (1987) but I feel my traits are a mix of all generations. I'm creative and open minded, but also resilient, patient and independent. I guess my interests may seem to be self centered (reading, video games, researching, etc.) I've been taking care of my Baby Boomer mother because she's been sick. But outside of her, I love teaching younger children and playing with Animals. Although I'm more of someone who just wants to live peacefully doing something I love to pay my bills, travel, play computer games, and read.
My father was Greatest Generation, my mother is a Baby Boomer, my brother is Generation X, and I'm a Millennial. All the bases 🙂.
Lol, Same! I also have gen Z & gen A children...
And you are the useless one
It was cool to see that the silent generation kinda has more ‘old fashioned’ characteristics than the greatest generation.
I'm gen x born 1976 and have a fascination for past generations especially greatest and silent. Love learning about life in these times
I feel as though it depends mostly on family dynamics. A 16 year old who’s the oldest of their sibling won’t have the same experience as a 16 year old who’s the youngest in their siblings or an only child
I like how batman made an appearance about 5 times in the characters segment out of all of them

You are what is called a cusper.
According to the video, i'm a millenial (1996) but I always feel like I have a foot in both generation, although I relate more to (old) Gen Z personally
As for someone who is an elderly Millennial and was born in '82 I have to say that I'm much more related to Generation X then I am to the much younger Millennials. I think it's because of the lifestyle that I lived growing up in the early 90's to where life as I once knew it was so simple and less high tech, which in some ways can explain why I seem to be set in my own ways of thinking, but even for a guy in his early 40's I find it difficult to adapt to the very ways of today's modern technology that is being used today, which can explain why I'm starting to think like an individual who is in his 50's & 60's age range that's use to things having to be done the old fashioned way.
I was also born in 82
I can totes pick 1 fav cartoon & superhero from each section. 'Cause they're defo timeless!
FUN FACTS: The first named generation (not covered in this video) were those born in the late 1880s and may have fought or come of age during WWI, known as the "Lost Generation". What's more, there are lesser known terms for certain generations. Older ones of the Greatest Generation are often referred to as the "Interbellum Generation" (came of age during the Roaring 1920s), while Gen X is sometimes referred to as the "MTV Generation", just as Millennials are often referred to as "Gen Y", and Gen Z is often referred to as the "iGen". Finally, those on the cusp of X and Millennials are often referred to as "Xennials" and those on the cusp of Millennials and Z are often referred to as "Zillennials".
I was born in 1985. Could I be a Xennial?
@@MaquiagemparaEles No, you're pretty much safely in the Millennial zone. You came of age around the turn of the Millennium. Xennials would be mostly 1978-1982. But for the most part Gen X is early 1960s to late 1970s.
I'm early Gen X. Great job covering these minor details often left out. Here's one I heard before I heard 'Gen Z' back in the late 90s before the first ones were born but used in some media to describe their coming, 'Gen DotCom'. I was surprised it never gained traction. Maybe that will change as Gen Y was called that forever till around the mid 90s when Millennial suddenly took off. That made sense rather than just the next letter, I mean Gen X meant something. Y, Z, Alpha are meaningless. The name should reflect the Gen & their times
@@originalsusser Yeah, I guess there can only be so many inspiring names until you just resort to numbers or the alphabet. When they run out of hurricane names (more hurricanes than letters in the alphabet) they also defer to the Greek alphabet.
There should be a term for those born on the cusp of the Baby Boom and Gen X. We share elements of both, but often not the most iconic bits (e.g. too young for the hippie era).
I actually think that the coolest generation is Gen X! Y’all rock! The 1980’s had awesome music, I wish I could’ve been in my early twenties in the Late 1980’s (1985-1989)! 🥺
To be fair, as a Gen X, I listened to most of that, but I was too young to partake in it (1976 here). The nineties sucked balls for getting your fist job, but having known the pre/after internet days is pure gold. It really helps to have perspective on what technology should be and we are NOT heading in the right direction at all. But we also made extremely nice progress so it's not all bad.
@@Francois424 I would argue it's a lot harder getting a job today than in the 90's with our economy and immigrants taking our jobs.
I was 22 in 1989. It actually WAS pretty epic. Gen Xers like me and my friends have lots of wild stories. Here's one: I was hammered all day and in a blackout at the Indy 500 in 1990. Huge party, fastest race in history up until that time. After the race, we were partying in a hotel parking lot where the drivers stayed, as I was connected to one particular driver and his sponsor. Anyway, a guy came up to us and introduced himself as John Travolta. It was funny cuz he needed NO intro but endearing how humble and down to Earth he was/is. I made him a bloody Mary and got my picture taken with my arm around him giving him the rabbit ears (I asked his permission first). I had to be told this the next day by my slightly less inebriated friends who couldn't believe my boldness and ability to keep from embarrassing him or annoying/offending him. I now have the picture framed after not seeing it until 12 years later. Got it as a gift. Anyway, shortly after my mom gave me this framed 8x10 notorious photo I got his address, wrote a long letter about how the photo got lost across country all those years, and mailed it to him. John remembered the incident/occasion and mailed it back to me. People ask me about that photo all the time. This is the short version, but I loved your envy of Gen X and assure you that is how people my age felt about those who grew up in the 50's and 60's. I will say that my friends and I always talk about how grateful we were to have grown up in the 70's and 80's and how it can never be duplicated. 1985 was such a cool year to graduate! God bless!
@@georgemallory797 Wow, I was 22 only just last year, haha! I’m 23 now. I have noticed that trend, that many of us 2000’s kids wished we had been children in the 1990’s, and 2010’s kids have said that they wished that they had my childhood. It’s amazing that you got to meet John Travolta and take a picture with him without it even being awkward! I’ve never met a celebrity in my life. I feel it was probably more common before internet times, which would’ve been before I existed (Basically, before 1997)… I am glad that you appreciate my fondness for your generation. A lot of Boomers love to put us Zoomers down, it’s really not fair. My parents are Boomers, my father being born in 1961 and mother 1964. If I could’ve been born in any year, I probably would’ve chosen 1971. That way, I could’ve graduated from high school in 1989. That just seems like it would’ve been really cool.

Defining characteristics of generations under 25 years old is kind of stupid. I'm technically a gen Z and had only developped some sort of identity for myself at around 20 years old. To draw characteristics of 9-year-olds and below that age is utterly pointless, even if we want to keep it within sociological predictions, just because this generation is not ready to define itself yet. In most cases "world events in the formative years" speaks more about a general sense of what this generation is (or could be) and what defines their experiences.
Between 1993 1998 or 1994 2000 zillenials
I agree, a generation is generally 30 years give or take a decade but all these generation labels are much lower and it even when talking about people who grew up around the same time don't accurately portray things. There is also no defining line between any generation as there is always much overlap with people being born all the time so none of this makes much sense imo.
It's good to know that no matter what differences separate us, most living generations can agree that Batman is pretty cool.
They can, to be fair.
Absolutely, now I know why this was recommended to me
I'm sick and tired of all of this evolving and every year and every day is changing day by day it gets weird and weird every single day I don't what to say. Life wasn't how it once was.
When a generation dies accumulating a lifetime of wisdom, life experience and knowledge is lost forever. Never can be accessed ever again very rare like Gold.
Gen X here wasn’t feeling the choice of cartoons. We had He-man, She-Ra, GI Joe, Transformers, Dungeons and dragons, Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, The Smurfs etc…
Nerd Robot: genZ is creative, open mind, and sensitive. me an intellactual: making weird humor
I guess that counts as Creative
Intellectual*
none of those 3. But im based tho if that counts
@@shrekwithawillsmithface465 so basically, you're unoriginal, close minded, emotionless, and overly political (I'm not being serious of course just joking around)
A bit too sensitive at times as well.
Generation Z: Sensitive This is more accurate than I thought.
The snowflake generation
The generation of Peak Depression Rates.
OmG YoU CaN'T SaY ThAt!
I read somewhere, that my generation will be known for wanting to die and memes -- and yeah, that's... accurate. Sorry, grand grand parents, I failed you all
In anticipation of the Snowflake-Rebuttals: "Context-Aware and Involved" would fit more ;)
We bear bears is gen z, and the other 2 are adult shows. Gen alpha should be: .Bluey .Cocomelon .”Skibidi Toilet” Spoutce: I help volunteer with 8 year olds and that is what they watch.
Wow! Thank you
For Gen X'ers in New Zealand, they will experience the time when the music industry of NZ began to improve significantly with NZ musical artists like Split Enz and most famously Crowded House; as well as NZ's great success in important sports events, starting with the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, USA! It is also the time the New Zealand Wave (a phenomena where NZ popular culture becomes prominent through Australasia, the Western World, and worldwide) began in 1984 and became prominent in 1987!
As a Millennial from New Zealand, I think our current pop culture is completely dominated by the US's pop culture.
Dunedin sound was special and it’s crazy to me it’s not more widely known. I’m a Canadian millennial btw(82) but I’ve been living in Otago the last 4 years
Gen -Z: third characteristic is sensitive Me: oh yes, my generation is definitely very sensitive 😢 even other gen Z’s can’t say what they want without it being judged by other Gen Z’s ( this isn’t a joke btw it happens lol)
"you made a joke about asians without being asian! How dare you?!!!"
"why do you have an opnion diferent from mine?! You monster!!!"
LMAOOOOOO. bruv y'all are probably racist af, like you can make jokes on race and shit just do it between your mates and don't be fucking clapped with it.
Me: My genration isn’t sensitive! Also me: **Realizes that statement proves that we’re sensitive**
@@Adam-xf6sq is being sensitive even a bad thing. Like people will call you 'sensitive' or a 'snowflake' for displaying just a human level of empathy.
Hey Nerd Robot, as a BB I'm partly deaf and use subtitles all the time, and just so you know, when you mentioned generation X, the X was silent. LoL! Presumably the system thought you said SEX! 😂
I believe the toughest generation are the generation x, my cousin born 1979 is very ambitious, active, not lazy, always on top of everything. You can’t mess around with them 😮
I’m a gen z here (born a few days before 2000), SpongeBob and Adventure Time are my favorite cartoons of all time. My older brother is a millennial and adventure is his favorite cartoon as well.
Thank you ❤️ . Your videos are very knowledgeable ❤️🤩. Keep making videos.
Well there is one thing almost all generations can agree with: BATMAN!
I’m kinda worried about gen alpha’s idols...
I'm a gen z'er but hardly any of this applied to me aside from being creative and open-minded. I've always felt like I relate more to gen x and the greatest generation most.
And i relate to Ultron.
Yes I also don't relate to gen z except the good traits
@@killabomb3186 The thing is that the people who made this don’t understand us at all they think that trends are standard our generation ain’t abt that I feel like we’re more original when it comes to our personalities
Same bro I just hope their are way more of us than i think
As a milllenial I like Gen Zs creativity with self expression, seems a bit more varied than previous ones. I can't say I relate much to them as a whole but I can't even say that for my own generation 😅
Idk man, I feel like covid-19 deserves to be on the prime events list for baby boomers, gen x, millennials, gen-z, AND, gen-alpha, just because of how impactful it is and was on everyone
i think they mean during your prime years. your prime years would be when you're in your late 20s until about 40. this is the point when you start to carve out your own life. you're supposed to be finished/finishing your education, building your career, earning money, looking for a potential mate for marriage and children, buying your first home, and you're supposed to be in prime health and fitness for all of these demands. all of this is out the window for this generation, of course.
Speak for yourself
@@morganschiller2288 oh c’mon, you aren’t gonna tell me tat the pandemic that’s been going on for the past 2 years hasn’t affected you whatsoever, right?
@@jones2277 yes, I realized that after writing my comment! But nevertheless, I think it should still be a major event in all generation’s lives due to how restrictive it made life :)
Sure is!
Gen X = 1961-1981
I'm a 2010 Gen Z but Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Pink Panther, Winnie The Pooh, Scooby-Doo, Doraemon, The Simpsons, SpongeBob SquarePants, Sonic the hedgehog, Adventure Time, and The amazing world of gumball was my entire childhood
Same but not “The Simpsons” because my parents didn’t let me watch it until I was 12.
You’re not that much of a child, you’re 13.
i love the amazing world of gumball
Love your videos! Please keep up the good work!
Justin Bieber is definitely more of a Gen Z idol than a Millenial idol in my opinion.
As an 09 justin, katy and taylor was my jam
I think it’s referring to the fact that JB is a millennial
@@qKitti Hm, I don't think so because for Generation X it shows MJ and Madonna who are both a part of the boomer generation. I think they were going for who people looked up to during their prime youth years.
@@unorthodeux oh ok, i see, didnt know that
@@qKitti Yes I also thought it was referring to the fact that Beyonce, Justin and Taylor were themselves Millennials. I suppose it could be that whoever compiled this was misled by the fact that MJ and Madonna tended to seem more youthful than their years when they were performing, so if they didn't research their actual birth years they could be forgiven for thinking they were born after 1964 I guess.
We can safely assume that for the most part, all future generations will just be named as per the Greek alphabet, with those born in the late 2020's or thereafter as "Generation Beta" and so on. There may be alternate nicknames if these Alpha, Beta, etc. become associated with a major world event or trend.
Judging by what society looks now, everyone will be beta...
My grandparents are baby boomers (or provincial tribes in my country). My father is Gen X, and my mother is a pre-millenial.
Also I know it’s weird for me to give advice to kids today for no reason but I feel like they really need to head this: when I was 10-12, I was addicted to my phone and internet and because everyone in school already acted older than their age it made me do so too. They already acted like 25 year olds and had an unhealthy Tik Tok addicted. Although I never used Tik Tok, I would spend like pretty much my whole day on my phone. Now that I’m 13 I really wish I didn’t have such access and I wish I would appreciate my childhood more. Like im not addicted anymore but it really did a number. My parents didn’t raise me right sadly. So if you’re 12 or under I think it’s best for you to just live out your days and try not to act so grown-up so fast. You’ll regret it, trust me Also I’m not saying “Get rid of your phone read book more!!” Because that’s stupid and doesn’t do anything Edit: I should’ve said this before but just a heads up I’m not trying to bash people because of the pandemic
omg im also 13 and addicted to my phone
Yk I’m about to be 16 and I wish I could tell my 13 year old self the same thing about not trying so hard to be so grown up and trying to be a certain way since 8th grade is really the last year to be a full kid (like I know I’m still a kid but now I have to start planning my future and what I want to do after high school etc). I didn’t have a great childhood but growing up is pretty hard, don’t act like it’s over for you.
One I don't have a phone. two like reading and stuff like that but since the pandemic there's not much to do besides do stuff outside, read and youtube/tictok and I have asthma I like going outside but where I live we have a Sahara dust problem I like reading but I can`t exactly go book shopping now also I have one friend but we have nothing I common any more. I feel bad complaining about my life because people are going though much worse. PS: I saw your profile picture I also like the she ra reboot do you what to be friends. I would like to talk about the show with my cousins but they caught a bad case of homophobia from there parents. Also I am eleven so do with all this information what you must.😊❤️🥰
thanks im 9 and i use my phone alot but ill go outside more
You're a wise person, hope there is more kids like you.. Also, as a 21 y.o person, I can relate to this, and this is true. It's not just about childhood but also about life. Every moments is less valuable with your phones, because your mind are not enjoying the event, but you're focusing on "how-to post it", "how-to captioning it", or "how-to edit it".
Just watched this video with my German high school students. This is what they're saying: On the one hand, this video is very interesting, we like the pictures and animations. On the other hand, the specific generations were not demonstrated as realistic as they are in real life. Also, the video could have been a little slower and less chaotic. It's hilarious how he said "happened in..." even if these events are yet to come. Anyway, nice work dude, keep it like that. In my opinion, the video was interesting because we saw the heroes our grandparents and parents had liked. And we saw the events that had influenced them. But I don't like that there are some predictions in the video. The video is well-structured with great pictures. The important things are well-summarized; you get a perfect overview about the different generations.
I wish for things like hairstyles, role models etc that showed pictures of the real thing
Great video right up to the end where they claimed Generation Alpha saw men on Mars.
Ok so we're not going to discuss how Batman is out here slaying? 😅😂😂
My husband was born in 1982 and I was born in 1985...we just feel like we NEVER fit in with the millennials. We feel like we bend more towards Gen X. I think that "millennials" having more stereotypical millennial characteristics really began with those born around 1988 and forwards, because they actually had internet and cell phones at a younger age in their more formative years. The internet was barely around when we were tweens in the mid 90s (lmao it was a joke it was so slow and you had to pay by the minute and it blocked up the phone lines too), and it wasn't until we were in college that the internet and actually having a cell phone to use (but it was still a simple flip phone or brick phone) became commonplace. We were still taught the dewey decimal system, how to use paper maps to navigate, used pay phones, didn't often have A/C in cars or at home, were allowed to run around and play outside/go to stores by ourselves, and we were old enough to understand what happened during 9/11 and were close to military age then (and we remember life pre 9/11 well), etc. I think the real generational shift in thinking happened with the kids that grew up having internet, social media, and iPhones during their tween and teen years. Did something to make their brains different. Often a generation should probably be divided into a new one or extended for a few more years longer depending upon any earth shattering events or tech that happens to occur or not occur. These changes are the things that seem to create sudden shifts in thinking, not necessarily the number of years being around 15-20yrs.
Exacto 👍
I understand your feeling on generational relationships, I was born in 1966 so my older siblings and my friends older siblings were Boomers. I remember Hippies, Peace and Love, the Space Race, Vietnam War and Watergate. P.S. I didn't own a cell phone until I was 40 years old.
I think that some things change depending on the country, although the United States dominated the twentieth century, some things are specific to each country, it is not the same for someone who lived in the capitalist world and free to someone who lived in communism and the dictatorships during the cold war
This is basically talking about the U.S.
True:)
Boy this went extremely LIGHT SKINNED AND STAYED THERE WITH HAIR STYLES AND EVERYTHING LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO AFROS and JEWFROS??? AND BRAIDS!!?!?!
Bro really said china's global domination💀
3:42 I am from Genration Z and even if I was so young by that time I remember me and my brother (Gen Z) playing with beyblades (we had around 5 of them) and our only bakugan (a cyan 2 headed snake)..... Man I cried of joy seeing these T-T Every interest of mine before L.O.L. surprise feels so nostalgic, now I feel bad for those 11€ my father spent on my only L.O.L. Surprise For some reason it feels like I’ll be proud of Generation Alpha more than Z, my other brother of gen Alpha is behaving even better than I did at his age, he doesn’t comprehend letters of the alphabet and math as fast as me but he says it doesn’t make sense at all to him, I mean it’s kind of true, sometimes he comprehends something with logic quicker than the older Sibilings XD Edit: for some reason I never watched any cartoon for Gen Z, the most familiar cartoons are from Gen X and Millennials
Yeah exactly the same for me Being a Gen Z (2010👅), most of the stuff in my time is from millennials' and Gen Xs times
Born in 2008 as well
Alot of the ones that I’m most familiar with are from Gen Alpha (so far) and 2008-2012 part of gen z.
You 2008 (and younger)kids should stay safe and if I were you, I wouldn't reveal my birth year or age on the internet. You might end up on r/youngpeopleyoutube
@@nono-qj9pm A birth year is fine imo, a lot of people do it
(6:39) I like how they put two shows that kid's shouldn't watch which is all of gen alpha and the other kid friendly show is really aimed at most of gen alpha. EDIT (if you're wondering close enough,and solar opposite are the adult shows while we bear bear is the kid show)
fr i found it kinda funny thought they were gonna add teen titans go or something
That last item at the end was a bit too much forecasting haha. I enjoyed the earlier parts though.🙂
Cannot wait to watch this video in 30 years to either laugh at it or marvel at it.
Such a great video. Keep it up 💪
Why so serious?
I was born in late 91 but I can half relate to Gen Z and Millenials. I honestly think the stereotyping does no good to anyone. I think it's more about personality, not this video for sure!
I’M A GEN Z!!!!!!
Holden Commodore is basically a Buick Lasabre or Ford Taurus for people outside Australia
Fact that I knew: Since Ryan Kaji is Generation Alpha idols,he himself was born in Gen-Z era.
People tend to idolise people prior to their own generation most of the time.
If you watch someone older than you being successful you would be determined that one day I might be as successful as him but if you watch someone younger than you being successful you would be jealous and think is world is unfair
@@iamkj2008 Why is that so true tho
I love how this channel came back from the future.
Thanks for confirming that after genx everything started going down 😂
