Gen-Z
Youngest adult cohort
Gen-Z refers to people born roughly between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, the generation following millennials.
Also called Generation Z or zoomers.
The cohort is characterized by growing up with smartphones and social media as default features of life: Gen-Z humor is incomprehensible to me.
The term appears as both noun and adjective.
