Generation Z (or Gen Z for short) is the generation after Millennials and before Generation Alpha. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years. The majority of references and sources state that Generation Z are those born from 1997 to 2012, including the United States Library of Congress and the federal government of Canada (Statistics Canada).[2][3] Most members of Generation Z have used digital technology since a young age and are well known with the Internet and social media. Most members of Generation Z are the children of Generation X.[4]
Other proposed names for the generation included iGeneration, Gen Tech, Gen Wii, Homeland Generation, Net Gen, Digital Natives, Plurals, and Zoomers.[5]
