Talk:Zillennials

Semi-protected edit request on 11 August 2026

Wikipedia currently defines the Millennial generation as ending in 1996, while the Zillennial article primarily presents the 1993–1998 range. I believe the article should also explicitly acknowledge the 1997–2000 range used by reliable sources.

The concept of Zillennials exists precisely because people born around the boundary between Millennials and Generation Z do not necessarily identify completely with either generation. Those born after the commonly cited 1996 endpoint of the Millennial generation, particularly those born in the late 1990s and around 2000, are often described as experiencing cultural and technological influences associated with both generations. This transitional position is the central idea behind the term “Zillennial.”

Therefore, limiting the description primarily to 1993–1998 risks overlooking an important group that the term is also used to describe. Since the article already acknowledges that different sources provide different birth ranges, I suggest explicitly including the 1997–2000 range and citing the reliable source that supports it. This would make the article more comprehensive and accurately reflect the variation in published definitions rather than implying that 1993–1998 is the only or universally accepted range.
