    To be Gen Alpha you must be the child of Gen Z who had to be the child of Millennials.

    So if you agree that a millennial was born in 1980 and had kids at 18 who then had a kid at 18 then a Gen Alpha would be like 6 or 7 years old maximum.

      Yes, as I have nephews that are gen alpha, that is how that works. You have kids now that are not gen Z and are around 10 that never knew MWC. Just because someone is young does not invalidate their status as people (yet, don’t give them any ideas).

        The problem is there are people in the comments who seem to think they’re Gen Alpha, Millennial, or Gen Z without realizing they skipped generations in their calculation.

          Yes and yet you are the only person that seems to think this is how generations work, that somehow you can skip at all.

              Wait, no. You are the one that thinks you can skip!

              As in the whole concept of skipping generations is insane in this context.

              You almost got me there.

                I’m saying it goes in sequence, that it can’t go from Gen X > Gen Z without a Millennial intermediary. Therefor I am in fact the one saying there is no skipping.
