Amusingly, your post forgets either the Millennials or Generation Z.

Gen Y are the Millennials and Gen Z are the Zoomers, which sounds more like a street gang from a Silver Age comic that it has any right to. Millennials and Zoomers tend to get conflated just like Boomers and Gen X do but they are distinct.

If you were born before the early 80s or after the mid-90s you are not a Millennial, you're a Gen Xer or a Zoomer. Generation Alpha are typically the kids of Millennials and some of them are starting to enter puberty already.

Basically, you can divide generations Y and Z by whether they have any clear memories of before 9/11.
