Gen Z or Gen Alpha?
The 2009/2010 line at the other end of Generation Z, which splits siblings far more often than the Millennial boundary does.
Generation Z ends with 2009 births and Generation Alpha begins with 2010 under the McCrindle boundaries, while Pew runs Generation Z all the way to 2012 — which is why a 2011 birth gets two different answers online.
Gen Z or Gen Alpha?
Frequently asked
Is 2010 Gen Z?
Not under the framework this site uses, which closes Gen Z at 2009. Under Pew Research it is. Both are defensible; neither is a measurement.
Why do the frameworks disagree here?
Because Pew has never formally defined Generation Alpha, so its Gen Z band simply runs longer.
