Depends on the cutoff line. But i would typically say Zoomers are too young to remember 9/11 and old enough to have grown up with Marvel movies. Born late 90’s-early 2010’s. 30 is around the cutoff between Millennials and Zoomers so that wwill come down to individuals. But also, generations are pretty suspect as a concept outside of the Baby Boomers since that was an actual charatable phenomen

I see it as anybody too young to remember a world that wasn't connected 24/7, somebody who in their child/teen years still made heavy use of the phone attached to the kitchen wall to contact friends.

It’s typically best not to use things dependent on wealth to assess age groups. A kid growing up in Hamtramck had very different experiences from a kid growing up in Birmingham Michigan, even though those two areas are only 10 miles apart.

i mean culturally i also relate to the older generation in the case of digitalization if i grew up rurally with poorer parents. so a zoomer in a millenial cultural upbringing since poor + rural = lagging on trends. i’d call it millenial

Yeah, I typically use 1996 (unlikely to remember 9/11) to 2015 (in school for the pandemic).
