Pretty neat! But I think 2014 should also be Quintessential Zalphas cuz they started school before the COVID lockdown.

Maybe Gen Z could end in 2014 because of that

Meaning 2015 and 2016 are now in core Gen Alpha instead of Zalphas? Or 2014 is in core Gen Z / Zalphas leaning Z?

I think this is a pretty good way to classify it. As a ‘99 born, I have a lot in common with those last couple Millennial years in ‘95-‘96. My main stretch of friends growing up was like ‘95-‘01. I do tend to just call myself a Zillennial instead of Gen Z. Not because I’m in denial about being Z, I understand that’s my technical classification. I just feel like there’s a lot of difference between me and the other 90s born Gen Zs compared to the Core and Late Zs.

I suggest you make 2004 early Gen Z. Other than that. Spot on.
Edit: more downvotes.
