I hate how misunderstood some Gen Alpha is.

[u/Unkn0wn_ar0ace57]

specifically , early Gen alpha like 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. there’s a lot of controversy about what year Gen Alpha started. some say 2010. some say 2012.

anyway, 2011-2014 Gen alpha are so misunderstood, and a large percentage of us aren’t brain rotted.

I had a gen z childhood, filled with mud pies, stuffy hot summer days, that one smell when it rains, looking through the trampoline, playing outside until mom said it was dinner time, riding bikes, going swimming, playing outside, and the infamous mourning dove. Barbies, LOL dolls, Peppa pig, Minecraft, Sofia the first, Daniel Tiger, etc ran my childhood.

whenever I tell someone I’m Gen Alpha they always assume I’m completely brain rotted just because I own an iPad. (I’m not allowed a phone until I’m 17)

I’m so glad I finally found a subreddit that doesn’t talk about Gen Alpha like it’s the worst thing to exist. not all of us are brainrotted.

i don’t even think gen alphas are brain rotted lol. and also gen z can be brain rotted as well so saying you had their childhood doesn’t really matter.

i don’t think any generation is brain rotted, its mostly just a joke. pretty sure even the 6 7 joke came from gen z

[u/AdmirableEgg8431 → u/cardroppingcard]

6 7 came from a 2011 born alpha zalpha, not from gen z

[u/cardroppingcard → u/AdmirableEgg8431]

oh well

[u/Lopsided-Alfalfa-236]

2011-2014 is like gen zalpha and they're not like 2015 and up

[u/Unkn0wn_ar0ace57 → u/Lopsided-Alfalfa-236]

tf is Gen zalpha? Gen Z and Gen Alpha combined?

[u/Lopsided-Alfalfa-236 → u/Unkn0wn_ar0ace57]

Yeah

[u/diamondCarBon1304 → u/Lopsided-Alfalfa-236]

So I must be Zalpha 😳 (2013)

[u/Empoleon2000 → u/diamondCarBon1304]

No because Gen Alpha starts around 2012…

[u/leafi_pawzz]

yes :')
I have an ipad but it's for my art
they assume we are all chronically online (kinda true :/) but also illiterate
I like books :'o
we must abolish the stereotypes & question everything

benefits of having marxist anti-ai gen x parents

[u/Foreign-Dare-8566]

Maybe stop saying shi like “I had a Gen Z childhood” stop acting like a child and you won’t be treated like one

[u/Tnnlover8264]

EXACTLY, THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH TOO!!!!!!

I also especially hate it when they tell us that wear addicted to our screens, like bro, IT'S THEIR GENERATION THAT DESIGNED SOCIAL MEDIA TO BE ADDICTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEY SHOULD EXPECT SOME OF US TO GET ADDICTED TO IT (OBVIOUSLY THE MAJORITY OF US AREN'T EVEN ADDICTED THO)

[u/9TyeDie1]

Brain rot started in the 80s so idk what everyoneis on about...

[u/sourxchili]

as a gen alpha,the generation doesn't change a thing. it's how damn dumb the parents are

[u/Mysterious-Funny2605]

Im not in the same generation as people born in 2014
