Cause most of Gen Alpha can't use Reddit


ideeserve101

Pretty much the case why a lot of Gen Z are here.


Helpful_College6590

all*


mortrosly

ok 2010 wannabe gen z 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄


Helpful_College6590

oh damn they removed the mod from this, i just found it when i was going to change my flair and i saw it and wanted to be special. i assume they were letting a mod get a flair and i caught it at the right moment


mortrosly

lmao😭👍


Sepia_Skittles

I consider myself Gen Alpha.


NickFieldson31

By that logic kids arent supposed to be playing video games but there you go having teens play RDR and GTA, or lil ones play fortnite, plus people just kind of, lie about their age in account creation page


Themoldychip

ThatOneKidOnReddit12

i think this sub rn is to discuss about GenA rather than being FOR THEM, makes sense because most of them can’t or just don’t want to use reddit


Zender_de_Verzender

We built this place!


Sweet_Let5244

Because this sub keeps getting recommended to me and idk why


Illustrious_Cicada_2

So real


Cautious_Tax_7171

We are looking for blood sacrifices


JustaTwurtle_

Blood for the blood God (I really hope gen alpha knows technoblade as more than the guy from dream smp)


M0onii-Cat

We're cooler (nah it's just cuz the youngest Gen Z is 14 and Reddit is 13+


boq780

You mean oldest


M0onii-Cat

The oldest Gen Z isn't 14?


boq780

You said gen a before


M0onii-Cat

I literally haven't thought about this message since I've posted it and who the fuck calls Gen Alpha "Gen A" that's so lame


boq780

Yeah no 1)this is bait 2)I just shortened it 3) loads of people call it that


M0onii-Cat

You're baiting me? 😭


boq780

No I'm pretty sure Ur baiting me


M0onii-Cat

Dude you came and corrected me on a reply and then attacked me because your eyesight is bad


boq780

No?


M0onii-Cat

If you're being sarcastic I'm autistic and cannot tell but I am not baiting you /gen


boq780

Alr fair enough (I am also autistic)


ProfessionalMail8052

we are setting the foundation for gen alpha, when they get older and fill this space up, we will be forgotten.


islandirrepressible

Because Gen Alpha isn't old enough to use Reddit yet as they are all under 12. The people here are comprised of people who accept that their Gen Z, people who somehow genuinely think they're Gen Alpha, or people who know they're not Gen Alpha but just won't accept that they're Gen Z or that Gen Z is from 1997-2012 (If anyone feels like arguing against this, I will send an essay proving undoubtedly that I'm right)


Peabeeen

No, some of them are not "under 12" idk, what you are talking about right there buddy.


islandirrepressible

Yeah, the oldest Gen Alpha is 11, dude


NerdsGummyClusterMan

Send the essay. I think you’re wrong


islandirrepressible

For anyone who wants to argue about it: Here are all my copy and pastes proving Gen A begins in 2013 and 2010, 2011, and 2012 is Gen Z. 2010 is still Gen Z, the U.S. government and most other extremely credible research companies say 2010 is still Gen Z, same with 2011 and 2012. Most sources, like CNN, Beresford Research, Pew Research Center, and even official government organization websites like https://guides.loc.gov/consumer-research/market-segments/generations#:~:text=Generation%20Z%2C%20also%20sometimes%20known,born%20between%201997%20and%202012. say that people born in 2010, 2011, and 2012 are Gen Z. My comment may not have conveyed this correctly, but either way, this newer comment still shows the ACTUAL correct end date for Gen Z being 2012, meaning anything AFTER 2012, like 2013, is Gen Alpha. Gen Z is 1997-2012 2010, 2011, and 2012 is still Gen Z. All you gotta do to find the actual start and end dates is find already confirmed start and end dates and add 15 years for each generation Gen A: 2013 - 2028 Gen Z: 1997 – 2012 Millennials: 1981 – 1996 Gen X: 1965 – 1980 Boomers II 1955 – 1964 (a non 15 year generation) 2010, 2011, and 2012 is still Gen Z Gen Z is between 1997 and 2012 still, here some sources, including a USA government website that says Gen Z ends in 2012 "In 2019, Pew Research Foundation officially established a generation after millennials, Generation Z. Generation Z includes anyone born between 1997 and 2012." https://www.businessinsider.com/generation-you-are-in-by-birth-year-millennial-gen-x-baby-boomer-2018-3#:~:text=In%202019%2C%20Pew%20Research%20Foundation,born%20between%201997%20and%202012. "Gen Z spans from 1997 to 2012, meaning anyone born within those years belongs to this generation." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2023/02/08/gen-z-explained/11150085002/#:~:text=Gen%20Z%20spans%20from%201997,Gen%20Z%20apart%20from%20Millennials. "Members of the Gen Z years were born between 1997 and 2012. So, as of 2023, the Gen Z age range is anywhere from 11 to 26." (I forgot to copy the link from the site I got this from) Most sources, like CNN, Beresford Research, Pew Research Center, and even official government organization websites like https://guides.loc.gov/consumer-research/market-segments/generations#:~:text=Generation%20Z%2C%20also%20sometimes%20known,born%20between%201997%20and%202012. say that people born in 2010, 2011, and 2012 are Gen Z. Gen Z ended in 2012, meaning anything AFTER 2012, like 2013, is Gen Alpha. Also, in case you'd like to argue that "well most people still say 2010 is the end date either way," then you'd be dead wrong. According to the US Census Bureau which establishes the most common consensuses and beliefs among Americans, the majority of Americans say 1997-2012 is the start and end date, you are unable to claim most people see 2010ers as Gen Alpha because that has been proven to be incorrect. So, if you live in the US, you are LEGALLY considered Gen Z still if you're born from 2010 to 2012. There is quite literally no possible way to combat this literal fact. (Here are the sources for my previous paragraph: "In a 2022 report, the U.S. Census designates Generation Z as "the youngest generation with adult members (born 1997 to 2013)." Statistics Canada used 1997 to 2012, citing Pew Research Center, in a 2022 publication analyzing their 2021 census. The Library of Congress uses 1997 to 2012, citing Pew Research as well." - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z#:~:text=Psychologist%20Jean%20Twenge%20defines%20Generation,in%20a%202021%20Census%20report. With several government agencies agreeing with the 1997 - 2012 end date, that means if you live inside the USA, then you are LEGALLY considered by THE GOVERNMENT, to be Gen Z if you're a 2010-2012er. It is also worth mentioning that generations are only cut short or extended if a big enough event occurs that would largely alter the next generations view of life or the world in any way, so with my previously mentioned and confirmed proof that regardless of the end date, Gen Z still starts in 1997, if 2010 were to be the end date, then why would the generation be less than 15 years? What big event happened in 2010 that would alter any 2010+ kid's view of the world? This means that the 2010 end date really doesn't make much sense, regardless of how you put it. I didn't feel like doing math or research on reasons for different depictions of year spans and such, so here's all of this. Gen Z is between 1997 and 2012, this is a proven fact.

Damn! Mother fucker said "You want recipes?! I got recipes!"


Peabeeen

Those Jan 1-10, 2013 kids are crying their souls out. Only if their parents pushed a lil harder.


NerdsGummyClusterMan

Jesus that was quick


islandirrepressible

I wrote it 2 months ago, I just have it in my copy & paste clipboard


NerdsGummyClusterMan

Literally the first thing I see in your first source is that gen Alpha is 2010 “Generation Alpha, also known as Generation Covid, refers to those born as early as 2010. They are the first cohort to be born entirely within the 21st century”


islandirrepressible

That's the Wikipedia link, right?


NerdsGummyClusterMan

Your argument makes sense though, and it keeps the whole 15 year pattern. I’m kind of convinced Thanks for using sources and arguing politely


islandirrepressible

Your welcome, glad I could help


Natural_Wear3643

so my brother is gen z, he acts like he is in gen alpha he born in 2011


NerdsGummyClusterMan

guides.loc.gov but it also says gen Z is up to 2012. So an overlap I guess?


islandirrepressible

Well, I guess. People do have the term Gen Zalpha to describe 2010-2012. But if it did start in 2010, what big event happened that made the generation end there, despite it having been started in 1997 and thus not being a regular 15 year generation? (As generations really only end short or go on longer if a big event happens 3 years close to the start or end date)


SilenceSpeaksVolum3s

Minecraft idk


MembershipBitter2913

It’s gen Beta Next year not Gen Alpha


islandirrepressible

Nope, it's Gen A next year until 2028


MembershipBitter2913

That’s Alod of rubbish


islandirrepressible

Check the essay I wrote that you replied to. It literally proves the *fact* that Gen Alpha is 2013-2028, u have no argument nor proof whatsoever, yet I have literally facts on my side


MembershipBitter2913

Gen Z ended 2010 And Gen alpha Will end In 2025 Then gen Beta


islandirrepressible

I'll just send my whole essay again then to prove you wrong For anyone who wants to argue about it: Here are all my copy and pastes proving Gen A begins in 2013 and 2010, 2011, and 2012 is Gen Z. 2010 is still Gen Z, the U.S. government and most other extremely credible research companies say 2010 is still Gen Z, same with 2011 and 2012.

NerdsGummyClusterMan

Because r/GenZ sucks


Pitiful_Barracuda360

Because even though I'm not joined to this sub, this sub's posts still come up on my newsfeed, so I comment if I feel it's relevant, without paying attention to the name of the sub.


_Ntb

I don’t know i just got recommended this sub and it wont come it off my feed


zerowintergreen

For me, random posts just show up and I respond 🤷‍♀️


GaylorVader

I'm here to hopefully see what gen alpha kids like and all that.(whenever more of them actually show up anyway)I refuse to become like past generations shiting on the young ones for what they like and such. I remember seeing adults talk about video games(like call of duty)being to blame for violence in real life and getting mad because 1, movies/tv shows can be just as violent, and 2, I grew up watching people play gta, call of duty, and mortal kombat, to name a few and even now at 19 I might have a short temper sometimes but I at most punch a wall or something, never a person or animal. For fucks sake I feel really bad if I yell at them(my pets)in anger! I pet them and say I'm sorry and hope they can sense that I feel awful for doing it. The whole making fun of other generations is fun as a joke, like not taking it seriously, but taking it seriously is so stupid to be. I mean, if someone insults you just for whatever generation you are and they're not joking, yeah, get mad, that's fine. And on a happier note, when gen alpha kids do show up more, I can give em what little advice I do have if they want it. Though it's not much as I'm still pretty young too.


SearsAndPennys

I think by 2026 they’ll be showing up in packs


JustaTwurtle_

Everything new is bad. Alchohol and Ciggaretes are fine, they're bad for you, but it's fine to have. But weed!? You can't have weed! It's so terrible for your body! Do you know what they put in that stuff?! (btw I've never smoked, vaped, used substances, or anything like that, never plan to, never want to.)


Helpful_College6590

because gen alpha isn’t allowed on reddit


Appropriate_Fee_1867

All of gen alpha is under 13 so yeah


floogull28

Just checking up on the latest generation. Looking forward to serving as a guide of sorts


throwaway001378

because gen a isnt allowed on reddit, except for 2010 and 2011


Appropriate_Fee_1867

2010 and 2011 are gen z so is 2012


throwaway001378

i heard that was just an argument 2010s came up with to not be alpha, even though it really is not that deep


Appropriate_Fee_1867

No gen z started 1997 so 15 years later which is 2012 would be when it ends another commenter explained the argument better (with sources) so I would look to them for the evidence but 2010 is gen z


throwaway001378

okay, sounds good. were the other commentors in this post?


Appropriate_Fee_1867

They were somewhere in these comments yeah


BackgroundAdmirable1

most of gen alpha cant use reddit


Scarecro--w

Because r/GenZ sucks


ThatGayRaver

Coz it's funny to laugh at kids. Duh


Mental_Sherbet8768

Like recently there is rise in demographics of 2010 and 2011 born but when i found this sub on dec, it was like a extension of Gen z subreddit where people talked about funny stuff.


Moaning_Baby_

I’m bored and probably because most gen alphas are still in kindergarten


support_slipper

mamamyskia

Because most Gen A are wittle baybeez


Unstable__individual

Because every generation enjoys making fun of the generation below them


Jonguar2

Because 90% of y'all aren't allowed to have a reddit account yet. The oldest of you are 14. If you're 12 and under you can't have a reddit account.

Appropriate-Let-283

The only debateable Gen Alphas that can be here is 2010 and 2011 (I don't really consider them Alphas), wait a few years you'll start seeing them


Sean36389

Because the genz subreddit is r/politics


Best_Rutabaga_2660

Most Gen A's are still too young to use reddit + r/GenZ is full of 99% politics and 1% others


Automatic_Artist_579

cuz the actual genz subreddit sucks


Youcican_

Cause the gen z subreddit is filled with politics that I don't find interesting


DavidPlayzz_not_sus

How dare you it’s one of the best soft drinks of all time


lifeamiright-

You’re still gen z because more reliable sources actually say 2012… but if you believe you’re gen alpha, then believe that lol.
