Okay, I've seen two posts online today saying that Gen Beta started today.

This literally is not true. It's most widely supported and agreed upon that Gen Z lasted from 1996-2012, meaning Gen Alpha lasts 2013-2028.

different generations last different lengths of time. They’re generally getting shorter

Tf you mean "they're getting shorter" dawg gen alpha ain't even nearly old enough to make gen beta 😭

we mark generational changes in this way not by average age of parenthood, but by lifestyle changes attributed to identity-defining cultural developments

as the world changes faster, generations get shorter

well it’s more like a culture thing than a time thing

my friend and I have argued about this a lot
