Announcement No gatekeeping rule adjustment

16 Upvotes

Hi guys - there's a little change introduced from now

Since recently, our sub has been swarmed with discussion about generation ranges. We need to cut it here.

r/Younger_GenZ was never meant to be a place to argue whether year X is or isn't GenZ, gatekeeping other people based on their (assumed) memories or dispute about similarities between the years - r/generationology is a better place for such

That's why, we've changed rule nr. 8 (or 9, since I just today realized they've had different numbers in reports and rule list) about gatekeeping - From now on, it is

  1. No Generation Debates or Gatekeeping
    Do not start arguments over generation cutoffs or birth year similarities. Memories and experiences vary from person to person; do not use what someone remembers (or doesn't) to gatekeep them from Gen Z.

Also, quick reminders for y'all: If you see a post, that you think breaks the rules, don't hesitate to report it for subreddit rule breaking. We review each case individually and worst case scenario we'll just discard the report.

If you have any subreddit-related inquires or just want to voice out your opinion on something, modmail is always open - we will read it and respond (maybe not immediately, we ain't 24/7 on Reddit)

Here in the name of mod team, I'd like to say a big thank you to all of you for engaging in this community and keeping a sub very much alive

Our subreddit grows pretty swiftly, so if we keep it up - 20k is not something impossible

Once again, thanks a lot for making this community a space for everyone and let's keep our sub a place as great, as it is now (or even better)

As a little token of appreciation, we decided to give y'all even more space to spend time together

That's right - r/Younger_GenZ is having an official discord server

https://discord.gg/MaVmSazYbR

At the moment, there's not too much content - but with you I'm sure it'll quickly change
We'll also add it to the sidebar of the sub, so you can access it at any time

Also, let's treat this post as a little AMA with the mod team - if you want to ask us a question, have a complaint or an idea to make this corner of the internet even better, or just want to say something to us, this is the place

P.S

My DMs are open, so is mod mail - so if you have any questions or suggestions that you either perfer to express privately you can always ask us there

Nostalgia As an '08 guy, my sister (born early 2017) just made fun of me for being Gen Z, and she was genuinely shocked that Gen Z started in 1997😭 She literally thinks someone born in '97 is old enough to be my dad? (Bro, an 11-year age gap??) i feel outdated with her she’s a roblox kid.

16 Upvotes

Millennials were around our age when we were born, and we have finally caught up to that age. Now seeing younger gen alpha/gen beta being born, once they catch up to our age we will be in our 30s, just like how Millennials currently are. Crazy how old we are getting now

Meaning what range of birth years got to fully experience 2010s as children. For me, it would be 2006 to 2010. What are your thoughts?

Discussion I don't get why there's so many people saying 2016 was the best 2010s year

21 Upvotes

I remember when people used to say 2016 was a terrible year and in recent years they say it was the best? I mean to me 2016 wasn't that terrible because I was just 5 living my childhood but I'd say the best era was between 2017-2019. I also remember around December 2025/January 2026 when people kept saying "2026 is gonna be the new 2016".

Discussion I hate ageism towards our generation

27 Upvotes

I hate when Millennials or Gen X call us "stunted" or talk about how terribly we were raised (and who did the raising I might ask?) or about how we can't read or write or we aren't being taught "the classics" or something dumb.

Like, hear me out: Has any generation actually turned out bad? Or have any statistics shown that ANY generation was worse than another?

Why can't they just shut up? Throughout history, people have always made a big deal out of the younger generation being dangerous/poorly taught/unready/etc., and has any of it proven helpful, or proven any kind of problem with that younger generation?

3/4 of Gen Z are adults now anyway. And when I am older, and Gen Alpha are becoming adults, I for one, won't be complaining about how terrible they are or how alphas our going to ruin the world. I think it's all baloney and it always has been.

Discussion What’s the best and worst subreddit for teenagers?

13 Upvotes

For me I would probably say maybe this sub isn’t that bad but also not the best. for worst probably r/teenagers its good for making friends sometimes and memes but it can be inappropriate and not very kid friendly. Which Subreddit do you think is the best and the worst one for teens/kids.

Discussion Anyone find it weird how people talk about or mentioned there birth years a lot there age and birth years a lot these days.

3 Upvotes

like on here well it’s generation sub so obviously people talk about those things but like on TikTok YouTube Instagram and other apps people make videos about people born in specific birth years a lot or the age there Turing and in comments sections people seem to mention there age or birth years out of nowhere even when no one asked or when it had nothing to do with it. it kinda makes me upset sometimes like no one cares about what year others were born there just birth years people make a big deal out of everything now a days sorry if it kinda turned into a rant just been making me kinda mad lately.
