    I thought at first this was just describing how each generation is but its a bit more abstract than that: these are the kinds of memes they make.

          Juan’s been around since before gen z could speak. That one’s millenial humor that gen z adopted and extrapolated.

          Looks like it popped up in 2015, so not as old as I remember. Still can be argued that it’s too old to be gen z meme. the meme juan was 2020, though, and originally posted to Instagram, so it’s genz

            My 9 year old nephews told me months ago that 6-7 was already lame.

            Which makes sense. If a kids’ meme is at a point where adults know enough about it, it’s probably already passé. That’s just how this stuff works.

        GenX checking in, I have this image stored on my phone and just throw it at people for no good reason because it pleases me.

        I don’t know what it means. I don’t think it means anything. Fits my worldview nicely.

            I’ve seen the term Zillennial thrown about as a sorta mirror to Xillenial. Really the generation measurement is always going to have this flaw for example generation Jones or whatever is going on with younger Gen Z and elder Gen Alpha. Really this flaw is going to continue until social and technological advancements slow down from the absolutely breakneck speed they’ve been going at for the last 150 years. I do have to wonder if we are seeing that slowdown or if we are seeing the modern equivalent of the 1930s where Europe was building up to WW2 and the US was giving the Slavs a run for their money in the depressing literature department.
