I read an article that basically said we give up on trying to categorize you guys (97), you're just "transitionals". Not millennial or gen z. And honestly I get that. I only remember 9/11 because of my mother's reaction. I grew up in a weird phase for tech. And I don't feel like I belong to either group.
"Weird phase for tech" is a nice euphemism for "knows what casettes are, but didn't have to put them into computers anymore."
I agree though that it is crazy. I remember it being a big thing for teenagers being 14,15 when i was 7 or 8 to get their own mobile phone. The kids born in 2001 onwards often had their first smartphone at 8 or 9
