Gen Z (or Generation Z)
noun phrase
- all those people born between the years 1998 and 2010
- also known as Post-Millennials, Founders, iGEN, Homeland Generation, Posts, Plurals, ReGen
A significant aspect of this generation is the widespread usage of the Internet from a young age; members of Generation Z are typically thought of as being comfortable with technology, and interacting on social media websites for a significant portion of their socialising.
In the U.S. they grew up with a black president and same-sex marriage as a constitutional right, and in Europe with increasing multiracial and multicultural influences.
