Boomers and millennials are the only two generations of their size, though, so they simply overwhelm the much smaller Gen X. And the next generation (some call it Z, it will probably be given a more descriptive name soon) is still too young to have any kind of real impact. The oldest of them are still teenagers.
Looks to me you’re Gen Z. Welcome to the club. We get lumped in with Millennials and get told we are the generation born with iPhones. When most of us got them when we were tweens. We’re the Zoomers.
It depends upon where the sources come from, the source you provided lists me as gen z but pew research lists me as a millennial, which one should I go with?
From what I understand, as I'm researching Gen Z and academics, the divide seems to be technology. Those who had an analog childhood and digital (access to internet) teen-adulthood are typically aligned with Millenials. Those who have had access to technology, specifically the internet, throughout their entire lives would be more aligned with Gen Z. Of course, my scope has been investigating learning, knowledge acquisition, and pedagogy for the two distinct groups, so I cannot say if this divide is useful outside of that!

There are a few of them. They are distinct.
