    why the alpabet suddenly changes after Z? it should either be "omega & alpha" or "z & a"

    Same reason we started with X, millennials actually got a name, and then went back to Z. Somebody with a head full of lead came up with it.

    Millenials are also called Gen Y. Millenials just happens to have sticked more. And Gen Z is also called Zoomers.

    They're just place holders until the generation gets a shared experience to refer to. Millennials saw the millennium. Boomers were products of the baby boom but they also saw their economy boom. Gen X are missing, their letter was fitting.

    My prediction is one of them will become gen algorithm, as they never knew a time when their media wasn't decided for them. Maybe, gen android, few of them know how to use a file system after Chromebooks became ubiquitous. Or they'll be the second greatest generation due to ww3. This stuff is entirely unpredictable.

    What name does GenZ get? Born just in time to be power users, born too late to have any power to stop the enshitification. Same non-existent economic prospects as GenX.

    I dunno, the second silent generation? Born into hard times, don't know any better. Defined by their fiscally conservative ways and "none of my business" outlook?

    They haven't been too silent though, and more power to 'em. The un-silent generation? Seems a bit disrespectful to riff off of their great/grandparents though.

    They really aren't power users though. Tech is a) generally more reliable and b) so locked-down that so many young people never learned how to troubleshoot

    Boomers were products of the baby boom but they also saw their economy boom.

    I though boomers were the producers of the baby boom
