The late 90s Gen Z/Millennial DMZ is a painful place to exist. Constant and mandatory tech support.
The ones that is blamed for the ills of society by both the baby boomers and younger gen zs
Yep. I was born 1998. To Millennials, I'm a tiny baby Gen Z, to Gen Zs, I may as well be a boomer. It's odd.
Growing up poor confuses things even more, because I have more in common with people born late 80s/early 90s than with people born only a few years after me. My first game console was a SNES and we had a VCR until we got a PS2, and kept using it well after.
Same boat here, though a couple years later. It feels really weird to be so out of the loop with my "fellow" Gen Z siblings who were born in the late 00s.
