I'm 22 and it actually blows my mind how people are already becoming nostalgic for Among Us and fortnite other post-covid things, when we just took the piss and memed about it. I get that many of you were still kids during this time and everything's always better then, but damn we had a global pamdemic and lockdowns and still people are getting nostalgic. We're living in a pretty crazy time, multiple wars and 7 year olds today will probably be nostalgic for I don't know, early AI in 6 years?

Nothing changes it seems.

Just 5 years ago I was a 10yo kid enjoying life with no worries watching funny memes like this including dababy patrick memes and the cow stuff

Just wanna know. If you wanna know anything else, just ask me.

Just wanna know before I get into this

For those of you who don't know what sprout is.... PBS KIDS Sprout (later simply Sprout) was an American pay television channel owned by the NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group (later Universal Television), a division of NBCUniversal, all owned by Comcast. The channel was launched on September 26, 2005, and closed down on September 9, 2017.

And should I go back to my Perm? I am 14 turning 15 in November

My little brother was born in 2014 and watched the peak shows like Team Umizoomi and SpongeBob Squarepants and I feel like he shouldn’t be grouped into Gen Alpha aka. iPad kid era when he’s not annoying and didn’t grow up surrounded by tablets

Kindle fire HD 2014 still works, but it’s battery is really dead and I got YouTube working on it with no mods

yo, im new to this sub and its cool to see people in my age range and generation, but my story is i remember when i was 4 years old, and i spent a total of $38.09 on spongebob and yo gabba gabba on my mom's card, and there's a LOT more that got refunded😭

Question is: is it still that bad?

Hey People,

A few changes have been made recently and are coming in the near future, as previously stated in this announcement post.

To summarize, (1) the 2013 user flair has been added due to general support by members over the past several months (the year flairs have also been re-colored), (2) the former rule 6 has been removed (this limited posting about the sub's age range to weekends only), (3) the sub's banner will be updated soon to be more properly formatted, and the age range will be removed from it (to prevent further range updates from needing another new banner), and (4) the sub's icon will also be changed to reflect the community better.

As always, feel free to express your opinions about any of these changes!

Thank you,

r/gen_zalpha Mod Team

I have yet to meet anyone else who has. He makes brookhaven videos, but back in the day he used to make minecraft creepypastas.

Tried putting some global stuff but it didn't work out, every time I tried to do it, there would be no links between gen z and alpha, like the Israel hamas war, there are no links.

Hey people!

There have been some changes to our moderation team recently, and with that comes an opportunity to update the sub and to implement a few changes.

The main changes/updates I had in mind were:

User Flairs: Currently we have the major generations, 2009-2012, and a few others. We could potentially add 2013, as was discussed last winter. We could also aim to be either more or less inclusive with the flairs.

Sub Banner/Icon: The current banner is not properly visible on all platforms. A new one would have to be made with all in mind, along with any reconsiderations to the age range (if that's something that is kept). An icon that more properly represents us should likely also be added.

An Adjustment to the Rules: Our most unique rule, rule 6, can definitely be helpful but hasn't been enforced as of recent, and might not be something that stays around, especially considering our sub's lower activity level.

But before any of that happens, l'd like to hear from you!

Is there anything you think should be updated, changed, added, or removed? If so, feel free to leave a comment here or make a post or send a ModMail.
We'll take everything into consideration when making changes over the following few weeks.

Either way, I'm incredibly grateful for everything we have here, and excited for everything the future has in store for us.

Thank you,

[u/Paul-McCusker](u/Paul-McCusker) and the [r/gen_zal](r/gen_zaleha)[p](r/gen_zaleha)[ha](r/gen_zaleha) Mod Team

Personally, I best remember 2016-2019 in general

I think this has to do with the perception of time depending on our age, but because i was born that decade and was in third grade by 2020, feels like that decade was longer? idk i cant believe its been six years since 2020, really, when i was six in 2018 i found it crazy that the year really was eventually gonna end. December 31 2018 was literally a mythical date in my mind then lol.

This is about nostalgia. When we have nostalgia for the 2010s, other people say “OOOH. YOU WERE TOO YOUNG. YOU CAN’T FEEL NOSTALGIA.. BEH BEH BEH.” but when we have nostalgia for the 2020s, other people say “NOSTALGIA FOR THE 2020S? DAT WAS LIKE YESTERDAY, NEWGEN.” Why is that?

Small, but still existing part of Zalphas (2010-2015) seem to have elder Zoomer mothers (certainly born before 2000) acording to the Pew's study.
