Although I was born in 2002, I really cannot identify with children who have known iPhones all their lives because I can still remember a landline and flip phones
Yeah I was born in 2000 and I remember my mum having a Nokia slide up/flip up phone phone till 2010 and that's when she got an iPhone. The iPhone, didn't really get popular till iPhone 3 imo
Mate I was born in 2007 and I STILL have a land line
You and me both my friend I was also born in 2002
Born in 99...still have a land line... we have an old rotary phone in the porch that we can use...I didn't have a phone til I was 17...my dad had a flip phone and then a BlackBerry and now on a iphone 5s...I remember a lot before technology was everywhere
Natalyn Sharae I agree and I can to and I was born in 2005. I didn’t have an iPad or iPhone in my hand for the first 12 years of my life. I remember using cassette tapes etc when I was younger. I remember our landline I remember my first phone was a flip phone I remember it all and it pisses me off when older gens tell us we don’t remember it and we need to go outside cause I grew up without technology just like they did.
He’s confused between Generation Z and Generation Alpha.
He's confused about a lot of things.
@@roxics Overall, I think that he did a really great job explaining the differences and progress
@@chrisdoesanimation4120 He think he's a millennial but he's older than I am and I'm Gen X. Everyone my age will say we're Gen X. There is an agreed upon year range for these generations and that range is documented and 1978, '79, '80 and '81 are all Gen X. He was born in 1978.
roxics I’m 12 just turned 12 this March what gen am I?
@@thecatonacouch9371 You are Gen Z.
This video is too focused on kids 2010+... Generation Z exists between 1995 to 2010. Me being born in 2001, I do not identify with millennials at all. I can remember a time when cell phones were just for calls and the internet largely resided on towering desktops and smaller lap tops. I was a sleeping baby on a sunny morning when 9/11 happened. I saw the after affects. I remember learning about disasters through Hurricane Katrina and the affect it had on people there. I saw my family worry about job security when the great recession hit. I remember being happy when the president said we took out Bin Laden. I remember the rise of ISIS. I remember Donald Trump's Election as president despite the media saying otherwise. These were all major events that affected my childhood and upbringing as a 21st century American. We are not I-gen. WE ARE HOMELANDERS.
Oh, yeah, I remember Katrina. We got a new kid because of Katrina at my school. I was new because I'd switched schools and befriend him, but then he moved back and it made me sad. I remember Obama being elected both times very vividly, I remember the Recession very vividly (I had to switch to public school and my mom had to start working and my dad had to quit his job for fear of being laid off though that worked out great in the end since his new employer was much better and treated and paid him right), I've always liked the Homeland name the best too!
Same I was born in 2001 and I don't think of myself or identify myself as a part of gen z.I was born exactly one month after it but I too still remember when phones were not for internet. I think our generation of people born between 2000 and 2001 is influenced by the political scenario of isis and trump.I don't think it is right to group is with small kids we were born maybe post 2009
Civilized Joke I was born in 96 and I've been told my whole life that I'm a Millennial. I completely remember 9/11 because I was in school when it happened. I remember having to pay for ringtones on my nokia brick cellphone and having to use a physical map when traveling. It kind of sucks to be lobbed into a group that has little relation to myself
Civilized Joke I was born 2003 so I didn't even exist during 9/11, but I can remember events like Obama's elections and the death of Bin-Laden and Isis. I can also recall of these terrorist attacks a few years back. I can also remember a time before smartphone were the new thing. My little brother on the other hand (born 2014) will never remember a time before Smartphones and the election of Donald Trump. He will grow up with all of this advanced technology like me.
This is also a time when Science will allow to travel to many more places in space. The best part is that I will be around to witness it. I can say at least that I'm proud to be born in Generation Z.
I was born in 2003 and am 14 right now. I still remember using VHS tapes and going into the local Blockbuster with my parents. Then, I remember when I was around 8-9, everyone started to get things like Ipod touches, we would start to do homework on computers, and I could watch Netflix online. All of this stuff happened when I was in late Elementary school, so I guess it should be a different Generation than kids who were born around 2010+
Why do we have to be called iGen. Why are we named after Apple products? Why not the Tech Gen, or something along those lines?
imveryclueless gen z is the most common name, not iGen
As much as I love Apple, I agree
Should be "MemeGen"
AppleoManga the generation before baby boomers are the silent generation
@@sodainaplasticbottle5734 16 year old here, although it is true that we spend a lot of time on our phones, the older generations just stop at that and label it a bad thing. They don't even think about what were actually looking at on our phone, and it's not always social media. Many times it's something educational. But once a few adults take notice of what we're doing on our phones, they want to immediately teach us about how to be safe on it or they want to constantly watch us. We've been with this thing for quite a while and know how to use it better than anyone. The adults need to let us be part of the conversation
Gen Z pet peeve: getting called a millennial.
Fr
deadass
I'd rather be called a millenial than a genz in 2022
And a millennial’s pet peeve is when they call Gen Z a millennial 😉
@@werrutkyupnext what has Gen Z done in 2022?
We're know for memes and wanting to die basically.
ha good one
Neo-Dadaism 👏👌
Well you're not wrong
That's literally my entire class-
An actual mood tho
Well he's pretty excited.
I really liked that!
I mean this is the most energetic video of tedx I have watched so far and tots felt it!!!
Cringe
He is on drugs. His brain cells got destroyed which is why he gave an incorrect range for millennials. He began it too early and ended it too early. He was off by like four years both sides
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast yea that’s drugs combined with innate weirdness
This guy had too much sugar that morning!
yeah, he's a little too unnecessarily excited. haha.
Methinks he's cucco for coco puffs.
hes genuine
hippojuice23 ikr
This guys a clown. I think no one agrees with what he's suggesting (starting with the part about 7 year olds in America not being able to understand 60 year olds in America). If this is true, this is not good news, folks! It’s a crime when a child can completely disregard her grandparents, let alone her heritage because of “technology”. If this happens, the human race has lost. And the engineers of society will have won to destroy the family. When all cultures disappear, when respect disappears, when lots of things disappear, these new generations will learn the hard way how they’ve actually lost. It is sad that each new generation that comes on the scene simply accepts whatever society throws at us. Only those who somehow shelter themselves from this will survive.
I was born in 2002, and I'm assuming I'm part of iGen or Gen Z. For me, I've felt that technology (especially smartphones) has been able to evolve and grow up with people my age. The only non-smartphones I remember seeing were Motorola Razors and Blackberries. But once the iPhone became popular, it quickly went from being a toy to play with to being a useful tool for learning, communicating, and sharing ideas. I definitely remember a time before the current technology, but almost more like a childhood friend growing up than a piece of hardware. idk.
Same... I remember people using symbian phones, and palm pres
Born in 99 and same here
Tmw your born in 1997 and think "Oh 2002 was just 10 years or so ago"
Then realize people born in 2002 are legally old enough to join the military
*e_e*
2002 squad
IGen and Gen Z are the same generation. They just have different names.
I was born in 1999 but my parents were born in the early 1960s, so I grew up a bit differently than some of my friends. I think the generation your parents are greatly influences their kids by how they raise them.
Macie Lynn same! I was born 2002 and my parents were born in 1960s. Very strict household...
Born '91 with parents from the 50's ! They were kids when JFK was murdered.
Same!
Boomers were born between 1946-'64.
Generation X: '65-'84.
Gen. Y Millennials: '85-'04.
Gen.Z: 2005-'24.
Exactly! I was thinking this. I was born in early 1996, my sister in mid 1998, but we're both millennials. I can't remember 9/11 itself, but I can remember the teachers talking at us about it on the first anniversary, and I can remember air travel before it - she can't remember either. But our parents were born in the early 1960s and we're both a little "older" than our Gen Z peers with parents born in the 70s.
I wish this guy would stay at least near to one of his volume levels.....
I know. His constant shrieking is supremely annoying.
umperthay ikr, I had to constantly change my volume
I feel sorry for his family.
exactly! How annoying! >:(
He doesn't know how to work with the microphone, let alone adjust/place it correctly on his collar, but that might have been a job for the production team.
Millennial here 85 .... can confirm I HATE being called a millennial.. I am generation Oregon trail.
Millennial here too loved Oregon trail ❤️❤️
You’re a really old millennial
What’s generation Oregon Trail?
We're technically Gen Y. And I prefer that. Millennial is just a cutesy trendy nickname. And that sounds about right. I was born '92 and played Oregon trail. Gen Y encompasses all those who watched the rise of technology and the internet. Gen Z grew up with it always being a thing, so born later 90s or after till about 2010.
83 here and SADLY, I too am a very old millennial. I have a feeling the Gen Y kids will be the final straw in what hopefully turns the world somewhat back in a less narcissistic generation. I think when the majority of society is so used to technology and everything we have always being as it is now, they will move out the cloud of apathy towards others. Maybe it's just because I am older now and am seeing things from a different perspective, but the kids today are just so unconcerned with how much of an impact they can leave on someone with what they say. It's like some just simply don't feel liable for the things they say because it's just one more stranger out of millions of anonymous aliases. Anyways, lmao... END RANT.
I like the way you break down what makes a generation a generation I totally agree and have been saying that. I'm currently 28 years old and a millennial and I have a sister who is 17 who has been told by an angry teacher that she needed to stop being a millennial and study harder. I never believed she was a millennial even though she was born in 2000. It's about what you experienced and can attach memories to that effect you more than a group of years.
That's funny, we can make generalities but I think everyone is different I know some milienials that are lazy and those dominating in life.
Siel8387 agree.
2000 is gen z
Klynnx3 "Stop being born when you were born and do work that you don't wanna do."
Salem Realistic lol right ill get on changing my birthday straight away haha!
So preferring living with your parents over living on the streets is refusing to face reality?
Idk about this. I haven't gotten on my feet just yet but I don't like imagining that I would up homeless if I tried it.
he fails to state that another defining moment for generation z is the recession in 08. because of that, we tend to be more fiscally and morally conservative than previous generations.
What's the recession?
I'm sorry, I don't tend to remember things that happened when I was 4.
You know, it was a Conservative that cause that right? Sadly the thing's Obama administration has done, only showed up, when Trump became president, and we're seeing a repeat, as that other conservative.
Basically a recession is a decline in economic activity that goes on for more than a few months which leads to a series of economic problems such as an increase of unemployment
Cory McHugh Recessions typically make people more economically and socially liberal. Especially since it's usually conservative policies that cause them.
I think they meant conservative as in "careful" not as in the political version of it.
#GenZ I just want ppl to give us a chance before they judge us. I always hear ppl say negative things about us. You don't know what we'll be in the future or what we'll accomplish.
Negative things? About gen Z? You must be kidding
Only good can come of this
Shayna Dorsey It's Generation Y that is getting most of the negativity not Generation Z
Gen Z are still kids It's the millinials that are getting the negativity
If I recall, the Millenials are getting all this hate because older generations are still looking at them as the teenagers which is what we Gen Z currently are. Basically, they're also complaining about us
Im proud to be part of Generation Z or Generation Homeland and don't really long to be part of the previous generation like other 90s kids do. I was born in December of 1996 and I don't remember 9/11 at all. My real solid memories are from 2001 forward. I was too busy riding bikes and playing with friends. I do remember having VHS and then DVDs, a VideoNow and a Gamecube. I remember my dad getting our first computer back in '04 and him staying up all night on the internet lol.
Finally, someone I can relate to. I'm proud to be an 00s kid/gen z and never wished to be part of the "ooh amazing" 90s.
+sunsetlily Right? I mean the 00's were good to me and thats where all my childhood memories are why am I gonna pretend the 90s had an impact on me when it really didnt.
Lol yup yup :).
i was born late 1995 (00's kid) and i don't remember 9/11 kinda sucks im grouped with y i don't relate at all. i don't have any memories of the 90s.
I was born in November 96 and I've got a pretty good memory so I remember 9/11 and the fallout fairly well. I can relate better with millenials, probably because I'm the youngest of three siblings so I partially lived through their experiences. I think for those of us born on the cusp (95-97) the generation you fit with best all really depends on your own experiences and how good of a memory you have.
As a Generation X'er I'm so glad to see Generation Z rejecting the political correctness of the insane millennial generation.
I'm talking to you Gen Z; you keep sharing those dank memes, keep free speech, keep questioning the media, and everything else they are trying to shove down our throats.
Im curiouse. How do memes come off from the perspective of someone from a different generation? Like the whole gekyume meme for example.
D Dixon Bernie 2020 POGGERS
I am millineal and I can't stand millineals. During my time those fools hated to think just follow the crowd good and bad, then politics wtf
Finally a comment from an older generation that isn’t saying “Gen Z is on their phones all the time and aren’t social bla bla bla” Thank you.
Oh I think memes are literally one of the best art forms of all time, totally serious about that. Especially the 2016 election ones. Those are like our meme Renaissance!👌 They also meant a lot to me because I was 18 and got to vote by November of 2016 as well.
If your daughter was born in 2011 she would be gen alpha not Gen Z(like me)
@Ayanna Mett I agree. We should advertise ourselves as Generation Zero.

I feel like the early 2000 people should be separated from those who don’t remember landlines and phones before screens.
Yup I was born in2003 and I remember the entry of smartphone in market and time before it without smartphone but the fact is that I don't remember a time without PHONE!!! Like phones has existed forever!!
康太土屋 what about the lower class late gen z? some kids still use landlines and flip phones. i think that’s only middle class late gen z that have special iphone 11 or whatever number they are on right now.
I legitimately remember watching the original iPad being talked about on Good Morning America before going to middle school one day. My first cell phone in highschool was a slide phone. I actually remember using floppy disks and VCR's. Being a '97 baby, combined with having parents who are just shy of being Luddites, is astonishingly different from being born even in '02, just five years later.
Me, a kid born in 2007 that remembers those: where am i supposed to go?
Mhm 2006 didn’t know what a smartphone was till like I was 7 before that we only used landlines and flip phones
Great talk...but his LOUD "Millennial" voice is too much for my poor "GenX" ears!
GenXer82 actually, anyone born after 1980-1995 is a millennial. You’re a millennial.
AuruLupus did u watch the video
I'm gen Z
Fellow Gen X-er here. I enjoyed his enthusiasm and exuberance.
AuruLupus when did they say they were born?
I was born in 1997, and people my age are always painted as millennials, but according to him, I'm not. I clearly remember 9/11 - although I was just 4 years old, I clearly remember watching it on TV and seeing my mother cry because she grew up in Brooklyn. I was not significantly affected by 9/11, but I definitely was affected by the aftermath - over the course of my childhood, I witnessed the tightening of airport security and the resulting wars in the middle east. I also definitely know a time without all of this technology and without a black president or gay marriage. I grew up using VHS, a landline phone, and dial-up internet. I didn't get a smartphone until I was almost 16. I think I'm a millennial, but I know some will disagree.

Brilliant comment. I was born in 1997 and remember 9/11 clearly as well. I didn't understand if as much as I did as I grew up, but the aftermath totally shaped who I am as a person. I'll agree with the speaker that it didn't change us like it did Millenials, but by god did it mold us into one of the most nervous generations ever. Airport security, metal detectors, "don't go outside; it's dangerous", confusion and angst about a foreign war we couldn't even remember the name of for seemingly no reason at all. 9/11 definitely shaped us
***** Is that rudeness really necessary? No, I did not experience these things the way someone born in the 80s did, but the way that the man in the video is describing millennials, I fit the bill. That is all.
***** Did I ever complain? No. The person in this video simply stated that people my age don't remember 9/11 and I'm just stating that I did. I understand that you struggled and I'm not comparing your struggles to mine. You are going off on a rant about absolutely nothing. You completely missed the point of my original comment, which was simply a statement that I fall under the lines of a millennial, not that I struggled more than anyone.
I think he was saying that those experiences molded us so even though you remember when 9/11 happened, it didn't impact you like it would a millennial. In that, they grew up with that peace of not a lot of terrorist attacks thus it was Tully devastating, now though that's all we know. So I think it's less of if you remember it but more if you were changed by it.
Why didn't he talk about the political and ideology differences between millennials and generation z's like the fact that we're more conservative than the millennials.
Lap TV because his focus is on similarities and not differences
Lap TV Wait till you get to college and be indoctrinated by your Marxist millennial professors.
Lap TV Because he's a tech shill and 2015 was a big year to push software onto older generations. That's all this was about. Making money.
Jency Victor Your mostly right but wrong with immigration. Gen Z is really conservative with immigration due to growing up with all these terrorist attacks.
Because the majority of you are still kids and are not fully informed on political issues yet
being born in the early 2000s I actually remember VHS, and cassette tapes and when Netflix was a dvd and it was sent to your house, but I don’t really identify with gen z and what people think about it . I actually feel that I have grown up as technology has been evolving. My first phone was not an iPhone because they were still not as popular. I just wish that people would stop making assumptions about gen z, I mean those “only 90s kids will remember” most of what’s on those posts I remember and I wasn’t born in the 90s.
WHY IS HE YELLING
he is a leftist liberal millennial.
lucyannalisse LOUD NOISES!!!
Something tells me he had more than a shot of caffeine...which is why he's yelling.
he also has to be heard without a microphone
Millennial's have the attention span of a gnat and 'ooooh loud noise, shocking. I look up now'.
This is how generations work:
When it comes to the beginning part of a generation (in the case of Millennials, those are the years 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87), they DO NOT INFLUENCE the generation, they PIONEER what happens with the generation (technology, phones in school, social media, etc.)
The BIGGEST INFLUENCERS of the generation are in the middle (Millennials born from 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94). They take what was pioneered and influence it well past its origins (technology, smart phones in school, new and improved social media, music, culture, politics, etc.)
The part of the generation that is only a by-product or consumers of the generation is at the end (Millennials born 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00). They DO NOT INFLUENCE anybody but cuspers to a new generation. They influence the people born the first three years of a new generation, and that would be Generation Z years of 2001, 2002, 2003 (It's no different than how late Gen Xers influenced early Millennials born the first three years of 82, 83, 84).
What you see today with the Millennial generation in regards to technology, social media, pop culture, music, fashion, politics, and whatever else that can be attached to it, was INFLUENCED BY MIDDLE MILLENNIALS and those changes started to take effect between the years of 2005 and 2010 (before then, the Gen Xers influence was dying out). Since then, between the years of 2011 and now being 2017, it's been all Millennial influence.
Generation Z are 15 to 16 years deep into their birth years (they don't influence anything right now but they are pioneering their own... it's just not evident right now given that the Millennial influence is still strong). The first three years of birth (01, 02, 03) can relate to Millennials because they're cuspers.
And if you want to break down influence, here it is by timeframe:
Gen X (born 1961-1981): Influence between early-1980s to early-2000s
Millennial (born 1982-2000): Influence between mid-2000s to mid-2020s
Gen Z (born 2001-Present): WILL INFLUENCE BETWEEN LATE-2020s to LATE-2040s
*It's when the beginning years of your generation start to come of age (meaning they are starting to become adults at the age of 18), is when you'll start to see the influence take shape. I'm well aware of this because I study it every day. I study the originators of the Millennial generation (Neil Howe and the late William Strauss), who coined the term in 1987, around the time children born in 1982 were entering preschool, and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the new millennium as the high school graduating class of 2000.
I get that later born Millennials want to represent a new generation (particularly Gen Z), totally get it. They don't want to be labeled a Millennial (they get a bad wrap from many). But they are Millennials. Whether you want to accept that or not is absolutely their choice. But they're in the minority based on the facts. And if anyone backs them in their claim against being a Millennial, it's because they're not informed enough or they're adjusting the birth years based on what they want it to be for their OWN purposes (that includes certain sources, companies, or websites).
André Foster this is correct, you at least know what your talking about. 😊
The late GenXers had very little influence on the early millennials; the early millennials were influenced more by the baby boomers; and dare I say some were spoiled rotten. I should know I have cousin in that age bracket. To this day I'm not allowed to say anything to him. Not even allowed to mention his little boy's name or develop a relationship with his little boy. He is THAT spoiled. this millennial cousin used to get away with a lot and was a proper little trouble maker. Until a bunch of late GenXer cousins dealt with him good and proper only to get into trouble themselves. I can give other examples too of how bad the early millennials are and how the late GenXers didn't have much influence on them. the point I am trying to make here, is if GenXers (early/late) weren't even allowed to influence the early millennials on a social level; how could they have been influenced in other areas of generational development?
I personally can't wait to see GenZ come of age and do away with the "millennial influence". I'm sick and tired of the millennial generation. if more GenX babies had survived there wouldn't be as much of these blabbering spoilt brat; easily influenced early millennials. To think I grow up in a generation where there was the potential of having more of my generation a round me, a potential squandered by the baby boomers; makes me positively depressed. It was the baby boomers who didn't want more children NOT the GenXers.
I'm a millennial born in 1999 and I've always identified with being a millennial as long as I knew the word, and this explanation finally puts my slight doubt of where I actually fall in to rest! It makes so much sense and has more of a clear line where a generation starts and ends, and provides an explanation for the people who are born at the end of a generation that you refer to as "cuspers". This also puts the rest why I feel a bit weird leaving out early 2000s kids out or people I know who are born 79-81 that can def. fall info the bracket of a millennial (more so the latter tho) or straddling two generations. Great comment!
I was born early 2000 but I do not associate with millennials at all. My view is that milliennials grew up in the 90's. My sisters were born in 1995, and they have a different feel to them. They seem more like what i'd consider a millennial. Maybe it's because of where I live, but in my experience, the people I know that are my age act more like gen z than millennial.
So what defines the millennials is 9/11... Didn´t know that the millennials were only americans.
legrandchivsky well yea, he is talking about American generations
It is the terrorism and global conflict symbolised and started by 9/11
Well I can speak for Taiwan and say that they have different generational names and markers but also sometimes use the term "millenials" to describe people between 20-35 or so, but that's just adopted from the States. It's also a term mostly only used by people in that age group.
I know what you mean, but 9/11 (with all the wars that followed) transformed Europe and the rest of the world. Just look at news coverage of 9/11. Even when the second plane hit, noone was saying anything about terrorist attack. Today, you cough and you get arrested.
The ted talk was in America
not everything can be about the whole world all the time
I am gen Z (born 2001) I remember before I phones and I pads but I don't remember that much
Thezebraherd
i can easily remember using my nokia phone which had a few games what i liked to play.
do you remember Sudoku and that orange ball thing on nokia
i was born dec of 2000 and i still dont know what generation I am, I think im gen z, definetly relate more to gen z but still dont know
Katelin Ussery definitely gen z.
But yeah, gen z tends to get talked about as if were generation alpha. Not all gen z’s, but mainly the first 5ish years still remember a time when life didn’t revolve around the internet and fancy touch screen technology. Heck, my childhood was about riding bikes, an analog box tv and DVDs. We’re like that awkward grey area between 90s and today’s world.
I am from generation z and my parents were baby boomers from 55 and 60 and I remember landlines, flip phones, slide phones (which were my first 2 phones). I also remember casette tapes, VCR players, we also had the original Nintendo and the Nintendo made after that. My parents also taught me a lot about record players and type writers. It was weird because a lot of stuff that I don't know about are things created in my generation or after. Like, I did not know what a credit/debit card chip was until I was 19 (like a year and a half ago) and when I tried to use it, I didn't know what to do.
I keep seeing “Gen Z is such a conservative generation” and I’m like ??? What??? I’m part of gen z and I live in Florida (typically a swing state). I only know like 3 conservatives...
My high school has a Democrats club, but there aren’t even enough Republicans to form a Republican club. I think it varies from place to place so it’s irrational to make assumptions on what the entirety of such a young generation thinks.
autumn drittler you’re right, it does vary from place to place. just like you my high school is very liberal but not as much as yours tbh. it’s about 70-30 w/ Dems having the majority. but this is just one high school, nationally gen z is MUCH more conservative and we’re supposed to be the most conservative since the baby boomers
BQNG don't worry. we won't. as far as the entire country, gen z is conservative leaning
I go to a conservative school, but it's about 50/50 with the students being "conservative" or "liberal" even though about 90% of the school doesn't even care about political parties. When we talk about politics, it's never focused on who's Democrat and who's Republican.
Parties are pretty split at my school, but from both my experience and what I've seen online we tend to be more socially liberal, but economically conservative
I think he means like a very large percent they have predicted 40% are going to be conservative
Millenials went from Nokia 3310 to Smartphones peacefully.
I had a 5210 on everyday 50
Remember the blackberries? My mom had one one and it never seemed to die😂😂
@@lailbabwah-mendez6673 This Gen-X'r still carries a PAGER.
Being a millennial born in 97, our family was just stuck with a single telephone until I was 8, then i first had a flip phone at 12, then an iphone at 14.
I was 6 when 9/11 happened.Then when Friday,December 21 2012 happened there were a lot a lot of first/kindergarten running around screaming "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE"and "JOHNNY I LOVE YOU"
Johnny was really popular.
Aw
I was 6 tooo! Yay
I was born after 9/11
How were you 6 when 9/11 happened, but then more than a decade after, in 2012, you were in kindergarten?
as a gen z in onlineschool, i don't have that much time and watching this man speak at 1.25 velocity in my lunch break just gives me serotonin
I'm born in 1977. There's no fucking way I'm a millennial!
I was born in 1996 and there is no way i'm generation z. It seems he has his X,Y,Z wrong.
teppolundgren '79 here. We were always referred to as GenX until recently. GenY didn't even come along until around 1980. We are straddling GenX and GenY, but "technically", we are GenX. Instead of GenX being BORN when we were, they're now saying GenX reached adulthood when we were born...it's not the same as I was always taught. I guess there are different systems of determining generations, but that just confuses shit.
If you look at the various definitions of Gen X, they're all over the place.
But whatever the right time period may be, personally, I feel that kids born
in the mid 90's up until now are Generation Self-Entitled, Lazy Assholes.
Or Gen SELA, if you prefer.
We're the last generation who grew up without the Internet or cell phones.
So that's why I say we're Gen X.
I'm 1996 and I am definitely gen z
You do know, 1996 and up is Gen Z. The kids of Gen X and grandkids of the Baby Boomers.
“They are so diverse,
They do not see diversity unless it is absent.”
*CHILLS*
I was born in 2005 I remember my childhood where I grew up without technology. I just want older generations to stop telling us to get off our phones and watch the news but as soon as we actually talk about our opinions and views on different political things that we’ve been reading about on our phone. We have very strong opinions and we want to change the world.
I had the pleasure to watch Jason Dorsey live. Not only was his energy level great, his message was powerful, encouraging and "eye opening". Jason brings a new perspective to this topic of interest. You will stay engaged get encouraged and be enthused. I also look forward to reading his book! He is truly an expert on business development and the roles generations play.
I loved his energy, made me laugh my ass off hahaha
Alejandro yeah some people in the comments make a big deal out of it. I think it's great !
Yeah I thought he was pretty funny
His books have truly changed my life for the better. Such an inspiration
This guy spoke at our conference a few weeks back and he was great! I walked away with a lot of answers and ideas about the different generations I interact with on a daily basis in my personal and professional life.
Watched Jason Dorsey live at our franchise conference 2 weeks ago. It was the most insightful and engaging talk on the subject of millennials and other generations. Lots of key takeaways. Thank you for doing what you do and making a difference in the industry.
The point where the group most upset with millenials are other millenails is right on point from my perspective . Thank you for breaking it down.
And as a gen Z I can say the same thing about my generation
According to this I’m gen Z. I’m good with that. I’ve always considered myself a millennial before this video( and I was ok with that too).
I don’t remember 9/11 and I don’t feel personally affected by it besides airport security. I was born 1998. He makes a good point. It’s all about what that person experiences and can personally relate too.
I also consider myself kinda a 90’s kid.
I remember vhs. I had a CD player, I remember having to go to the library for books. I remember home lines and not having even a flip phone, we didn’t have promethium boards in school until middle school.
I had a MP3 player in 6th grade. I remember having leap frog. Having to actually “roll down”car windows. I can relate to almost everything mention in videos titled “only 90 kids will know”
What a great speaker! I just saw Jason speak at the World Conference for Club Managers in San Diego and he was so enlightening, inspiring and held the entire group's attention from start to finish. His energy is contagious and his presentation hits home across each generation. Looking forward to seeing him again!
I’m iGen and I’m 12 and I love how he puts all this. It makes sense. He puts it in a good order.
Jason is a phenomenal speaker. One of the rare people that can leave you both standing to applaud and then cursing yourself for not taking more notes!
why is he yelling so much ? I had to constantly adjust my volume!
+kaiviti2013
They should have a warning for headphones users.
kaiviti2013 he’s deliberately acting like a stereotype of a millennial....
WHAT?
Millennials dont yell like that. He is acting like a boomer. They yell like that
ive watched at least 30 TED talks as of today (just started to binge watch them recently) and this one hands down is my favorite!
Great TED Talk and great work! I saw Jason in 2007 at an NCDA conference, and thought the work was groundbreaking then. It continues to be compelling...
Problem is guys, Jason Dorsey IS NOT A MILLENNIAL! He was born in 1978. He is a 70's baby and 80's kid and a 90's teen. If he graduated High School, he would have graduated somewhere around 1996. He's 38 years old.
The oldest Millennial today is only 34 years old. Millennials did not start graduating High School until the year 2000 and beyond.
Neil Howe and the late William Strauss, look it up, in 1987, they coined the term "around the time '82-born children were entering preschool and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the millennial year 2000". Strauss and Howe use 1982 as the Millennials' starting birth year and 2004 as the last birth year. Again, 1982-2004! Go with the originators!
I was born in 1986 and I can tell you for sure, I don't relate to Jason Dorsey in any sense.
The reason why Jason Dorsey calls himself a Millennial is because of business reasons. He himself created a time frame of 1977-1995. Come on now... it's obvious since he's born in 1978, that he would create a time frame like this!
When I was in HS we had phones, we had social media, we remember 9/11, technology, how we were all raised and all. Since I graduated HS, all of it has been a continuation and upgrade to phones, social media, all technology, etc. Jason Dorsey does not identify with any of this growing up. I have older cousins, all born around 1977 to 1979, his age, that do not identify with us. They're late Gen Xer's!
There are two eras within all generation. And with it being 1982-2004, half will remember certain things and half won't but the true basis is how we were raised and the events that happened that shaped the way we live, think, and act.
I'm 29... I'm a Millennial. I have a sister who is 18... She is a Millennial. Just two different eras within the generation.
We all identify with the same type of music, technology, and upbringing. I do basketball training so I'm around HS students a lot and their parents are old enough to be my parents! Why? Because all of our parents are Baby Boomers or Gen Xers!
It's a business he has... He did what he had to do. And that was to fixate the Millennial Generation to a date range that benefited him. Good job bro!
That's true man. My brother was born in 1978 and I was born in 1985 and there is a significant difference between us. It's weird because we're from the same "familial generation" but for a cultural generation we're pretty different just from the time we was raised. He was raised in the 80's and I was raised in the 90's(think God lol)
+gamma21285 thank*
Thats why as a 1996 born I hate Jason with a passion like stfu jason.
Btw my dad is a baby boomer and my mom is an Xer
Generations are fairly arbitrary and nonsense anyway. But I would add that Millennials don't remember the Cold War - the oldest of us were born near its end, but we didn't grow up with the fear of nuclear war. I was also born in 1986. In 1986, Chernobyl happened and the Berlin Wall came down. But the USSR didn't dissolve (and the Cold War end) until 1991 - when I was in kindergarten.
Im loving this guys energy!! Honestly
Jason Dorsey is motivating, insightful and thought provoking about how we look at data and generational differences. I've had the opportunity to meet him in person and he is just as amazing when he is off stage.
I had the chance to listen to him at a Ford Mtg. in Vegas and he is dead on about how the difference in the generations have changed and he has helped us to better understand how to communicate to them and sell more vehicles.
This guy is as speedy as Spud from Trainspotting in that meeting.
I was born in 1996,
I don't remember cassete tapes or the beginning or not having the mobile data. But I do remember having to wait like 1 minute sometimes for an internet page to load. And I remember not being able to use the internet when my mum was saying the landline. I do not remember 9/11 and definitely remember it as history. Even the London underground bombings are a part of history to me.
Things I notice about my gen Z self... When people ask me for directions to a street, my first thought is that maybe they couldn't find it on Google maps 🤣🤣
p.s
Another reason why I may not remember 9/11 was because I grew up in Ireland.
Hehe me too! I was born in December 1996 and this is so relatable to my upbringing! I remember the landline and internet thing also. But yes I don't remember 9/11 either and I was born in London. The London bombings I definitely remember as an 8 year old because it shook up the country.
This was entertaining and informative! I loved hearing you speak at my company several years ago, and it's a pleasure to see how your message has evolved and yet stayed true. Well played, sir!
Jason is right on the money! Dealing with this generation can only get better by listening and responding to his critique! Great approach to teaching all the decision makers in the room something very useable!
*Grandparents=Silent Gen*
*Parents = Baby Boomers*
*Brothers=Gen X*
*Me: iGen*
W o a h-
My great grandparents were the great generation 1910s or so? I never really learned much about them.
grandparents are the silent gen 1932 & 1934
parents are boomers 1949 AND 1957
my brother is Gen X 1979
I'm Gen Y (millennial) 1993 and my sister 1995
My niece's and nephew are gen Z 2006, 2007 and 2009.
Gen Alpha - and my other nieces are 2012 and 2015 (lol and my cats 2013)
I get it! Lol.
When does igen start
I’d say around 2000 since to iGen 911 is history and not news but some people say 2005
Grandparents baby boomers
Parents Gen x
Brother millenials
Me gen z
Little sis alpha gen
Why are you yelling?
Because he's a millennial that is what they do.

Jason, as always, your Ted Talk cut to the meat of what makes you and your research so compelling. You dig below the surface of the labels and stereotypes and get at what is driving behaviors and change. You incite thought and conversation rather than reaction and argument. Thank you for responsibly taking the next step in helping to bring awareness of a new generation of young people that will create change in all of us.
Jason is great. I really enjoyed a recent talk of his at a conference I attended. I plan to read his book as well. These are awesome insights to remember for business professionals.
Not to be rude, but Jason, you need a better fitting suit!
He probably can't afford one at the moment.
I was born at the end of 1996 and I remember 9/11 and before it. I remember being so scared because I thought they were going after New Orleans because we are a port city. I remember being taken out of school, so despite him saying "before 1995", I am a millennial.
I was born mod 1996 and I don't remember anything from 9/11, I Canadian though so it might have affected us less (I wouldn't remember)
+Daniel Le Coz I think I may well be the exception, I have quite a few memories all the way back to early age 3, but I know that isn't to usual.
I don't much from when I was that young. However, I do remember a lot of old technology though, Gameboy, dial-up vcr's, but I think my parents where late adopters for some things.
+Daniel Le Coz I loved my gameboy, it got destroyed in Katrina though
:( what was it like experiencing Katrina?
Our organization recently hosted Jason and his team and were completely "wow'd" by his presentation. Jason's message is worth sharing and will leave you with a great starting point for building strategies, both in business and in life, surrounding the next most powerful generation.
Very good watch with many useful insights to help marketers and businesses in general connect with their customers as they change with time
Glad I'm not a millennial.
Congrats!

Ok... but, do you understand what he is saying?
To those of you who are asking if she understands what he's saying. Yeah. She does.
Jason's research in marketing to various generational levels was incredibly insightful. He provided a lot of easy and usable information for both retailing to and the hiring of the next generation.
Fantastic presentation at the 2016 Payroll Congress! Wow, were my eyes opened.
9/11 doesn't affect places like Australia culturally like it does America. I still consider myself a Millennial and I was born 2000 because someone born in 1995 in Australia is no different to me
+Josh Croll2001 the only difference is they saw it live and i saw it on the news in like 2008. like that makes us different generations
But we have been affected by terrorism, tightened airport security and the constant fear even in Australia
Zombie Pikachu It still isn't a culturally defining moment as it was in the United States. I would consider the equivalent of 9/11 for Australia to be the Port Arthur massacre of 1996
+Josh Croll2001 Both caused fear and resulted in multiple overthetop safeguards so that makes sense
Zombie Pikachu Ok, so then how can you put 9/11 as the defining moment in our culture over any other if there where other significant events in that time.
Awesome Info Josh!!! I love all of your talks they are so valuable and so on trend with what is happening. Keeping shedding light and closing the gap between the generations!!! Oh, and hug sweet Rya!!!

As someone born in 1996 i am sure as hell generation y which is 1980-2000. I also remember before 9/11 and unlike Jason Dorsey I am ACTUALLY apart of generation y. Jason Dorsey was born in 1978 so he's generation x not a millennial/generation y at all. He is nothing but a attention whore that is trying to be something he isn't apart of lol. 1965-1980 is generation x and he is generation x.
Amazing insight! Fascinating and amusing at the same time! I'm a GenXer and am facilitating a leadership course right now for a small group of iGen kids. This info/video helps to explain a bit about my struggle to best connect with them. Some days we're all on the same page and others...UGH! Thanks for sharing this!
There is no such thing as Generation's with similar traits. People are diverse within each group.
For a long time, I thought I was a Millennial and I kept apologizing for the stupid stuff they did. I dug a little deeper and realized that the last Millennial was born in 95; I was born in 96, Gen Z. Now everything makes sense. I can actually relate to Gen Z unlike the Millennial generation.
Being born in 1954, I cannot understand why even having a cell phone, let alone a smartphone, is critically important. I turn mine on once or twice a week. Millennials and the post millenial generation USE technology, but I think they have been shortchanged in the area of useful knowledge of what's behind it, how it works. Our "educational system" (so difficult to call it that with a straight face) has done a horrible disservice to our young people. The speaker is right about what defines "history" vs "that's how it's always been." But anyone who grows up without being taught history and useful skills has been robbed.
I'm a Hydroelectric Operator, four decades of operating more "technology" than you can shake a stick at. Also a couple of decades of Vol. Fire EMT, watching that technology evolve. But I keep perspective; technology serves me, not vice versa. And only such te hnology as I find udeful.
Seriously... and that attitude from "Lane," too. He's old and will not and can not understand.
Froggy Noddy
Look at how so dismissive they are, too. Every discussion that I see is about them undermining and and looking down on us and the rest. I remember in the 80's they called Gen X lazy. Now, Millennials are lazy. Every generation was "lazy."
i agree and i am 11
who is taking care/paying of the phone booth in your town or city if you are in a western country?...NO ONE, especially in the U.S or Canada. Thats the reason many people had to get cell phones whether they wanted to or not.
I heard Jason at the NTA - National Tour Association conference - Ideas about how to approach clients of all ages is exciting, unique and valuable! Jason makes it fun to learn about and enjoy our friends and clients. Realize Explore Discover!
Finally! Someone who can see through these barriers that we place between ourselves and the generations before/after us! Generations are just summaries, they're not death sentences--every generation has the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of society.
Though I do agree that entitled Millennials are disliked by other Millennials (who don't feel entitled) the most, he also addresses that we are a generation the embraces diversity over the others. That is not the case. What’s crazy is this: we are in the game of banning free speech and thought when someone else doesn’t tell us what we want to hear. And if someone else has a different way of looking at things than we do, we go nuts! We say we are all for diversity and freedom, yet we tear each other down.
I've noticed that the older generations are voting differently than most of us, but isn't it our future that is at stake not theirs? Many fail to understand that they already lived through it. They already made the same mistakes they are watching us make! And a lot of them have realized their mistake and are trying to make things right! Many of them are trying to warn us. With no control of our economy, no control over our own democracy, having nameless people decide our laws for us is very questionable. I wonder when we, as the millennial generation; wake up and realized we have been lied.
Many do not understand the sacrifices the "older generations" made to save Europe and North America from tyranny. Their sacrifice gave us the right to vote! Many from the older generation are now wary that freedom and liberty will be lost if we continue to slide down the path of idiocy of socialistic values rather than family and moral values, such as refraining from having to stay EU. Same with North America concerning a North American Union. And after fighting these wars and living through it only to have some 18-year-olds come along (years later) and tell them that they can’t vote? Sounds like tyranny is on the rise again, because people are still asleep!

most of them drive like assholes. fucking cell phones.
PS im so high i can barely see :)
I'm apart of generation z but I'm honestly surprised how conservative we are, I do think I'm pretty open minded and liberal but I won't blame the millennial generation for bad things because they were dealt bad cards because baby boomers still run many corporate places. My mother would be considered a millennial even though she she not tech savvy as most people but I blame her upbringing which makes it hard for her to raise me and my sister, she is very selfish and usually thinks of herself when it comes to the decision of the house, but I take in consideration that she didn't get a proper upbringing with parents that will help you but not ridicule you and bring you down plus the "generation curse" ( most the women in my family had kids young)
Aryana Claiborne ikr I wouldn’t have thought we were conservative at all
No we are more in the middle a little to the right for some things and a little to the left for other things
I love how passionate this guy is! It makes you wonder what the world would be like if people were this passionate about the things they specialized in.
Jason is closing the generational gaps by helping us understand the differences.
Me (gen Z): Okay
Him: How do I call her
Me: You take the phone input her number she picks up and you talk
Him: FACETIME!
Me: Oops
1977-1995 wtf? Of course this guy will say that to be in the bracket, he was born in 1978.
Sorry, but 77ers and 78ers were already teens in 1991 when Nirvana's "Nevermind" came out and when USSR collapsed. Also, you all were legally able to drink before 2000, and many of you got your bachelors before 9/11.
There's no way in hell Gen Y starts in the late 70s. I hate when people do that just to minimize the span of Gen X and beef up the span of Gen Y.
Also, remembering/being impacted by 9/11 is not required, because everyone's memory works differently, and the impact of that event depends on where you lived.
I think that generations should be all perfect logical smooth sailing and not some arbitrary retarded roller coaster, they should all be divided evenly into 18 years.
1910-1927 = Greatest Generation
1928-1945 = Silent Generation
1946-1963 = Baby Boomers
1964-1981 = Generation X
1982-1999 = Generation Y
2000-2017 = Generation Z
There you have it, a perfect 18 years for each generation, all perfect logical smooth sailing.
Thank you!!! That's exactly what I thought!!! This guy is smart but he is skewing the research to fit an idea he has of what he thinks a millennial is.
Also, I love the way you broke down the generations because it makes more sense.
*****
Duh, it's only a year difference, or course you're going to relate more to someone one year younger versus seventeen years older. But when discussing generations, a line has to be drawn somewhere.

Saw you in Branson MO several years ago. Follow you on social networks. This talk was as the best yet and as a parent really gave me a lot to think about.
Some kids were playing in the back room of our church building when one of them used the landline to call 911. He thought the dial-tone meant it was broken because he has never grown up in a house with a landline...his dad was initially furious and then felt like a bad parent.

"Looks like someone had their morning coffee" -legally blond
I was born in 2000, but I identify more with the millennial label. I didn't have intneret access at home until I was 9. I don't have a smartphone, I have a feature phone and an iPod touch from 2010. Until age 14, I had windows xp at home and still emulate it sometimes to play the old games that came with it. I enjoy emulating old hardware/software. I am fascinated with 80s and 90s technology, just as much as I am with the newest tech. I have an Xbox 360, not an Xbox one. My first video game system was an NES. Sure, I was only an 11-month old when 9-11 occurred. But that doesn't mean I'm not a millennial.
Very nice Jason, really makes you think about the future, and what types of business will serve this group :)
So. Much. Shouting
Um I was born in September 10,1996 and I remember 9/11, I remember it all over the TV but I couldn't process what was going on, until i was told about it 3 days later, I remember VHS tapes and tape decks, I learned how to rewind a VCR at 2, so and I remember when smart phones and tablets were introduced, to me they were new, I had a N64 as a kid and remember when the PS2 came out yeah say I only grew up with iPhones and shit that came out in 2007.
This guy is animated af but he actually does hit the nail right on the head, especially when he talks about millennials leaving Facebook because of old people, it’s exactly what I did and why I did it back in 2014
i am not my generation, i am myself with my own beliefs and ideas

Jason You did GOOOODDD.. You changed my life. I am no longer 83. I am now 35 for the 48th time. I walked down the center line of 6th street without being arrested. ( It was blocked off for S by SW). I do 4 to six 5Ks a year. I win a lot of them because the are few old farts in the 80 and up group. I miss your writing in Success. Five years ago you caused me to see the great things that GenYs do. Keep on being you..
This talk addresses the profound knowledge gap regarding Millennials. Jason has done some great, compelling research and I found this talk very insightful as a millennial myself. Amazing work, Jason!
Soooo, just a question... What is it that millennials have supposedly done badly?
They became SJWs.
according to comments I have read, everything.
Millennial's have brought about the end times of the old times because they were born a blah blah blaaaaah. Myes.
The main thing we did wrong was let boomers control the perception of us.
How about we just eliminate the entire subject all together of the generation titles. We are all people with a purpose and everyone has a voice that can be used to promote good or evil. Older generations refuse to listen to younger generations even though the bible is clear that out of the mouth of babes and sucklings has thou ordained strength.. Which means sorry older people but our generation if you want to use the term for the last time some of us actually have the truth of God.. But you refuse to see that because of this lie of "Generations" we are all people who are born into this world of sin and we have to make only one real choice in life that effects us throughout our entire lives and the life we will have in eternity. But the question is choose you this day whom you will serve weather it be God or mammon? But as for me and my house were going to serve The Lord.
Well said! As for my thoughts on the so-called "very controversial topic" of race these days, I can't believe how many times I go through a comment section and it's like no one remembers Galations 3:28.
Jason made some awesome points about what defines a generation. He always is informative and makes me laugh. I think he is on the right trajectory to focus on generational strengths rather than weaknesses.
Insightful, helpful, educational with a splash of entertainment. well done Jason Dorsey!
