Zillennials are on the cusp of Gen Z and millennial thus the mashup label of zillennial. Gen Z uses the term to refer to millennial things that are kind of uncool or cringey. Some generations reject the labels given to them by others if they feel their values or differences. Some millennials shun the label they have been given because they believe it has a negative connotation and sells them short, says Jason Dorsey a generations researcher and president of the Center for Generational Kinetics. The most misunderstood thing about us is probably our existence, says Juliana Olarte, a year-old travel publicist living in New York City who is Gen Z. The different ways generations grow up with and use technology is a strong delineator in defining generations, says Deborah Carr professor of sociology and director of Center for Innovation in Social Science at Boston University. The term millennial also known as Generation Y refers to anyone born between and Gen Z refers toAnyone born from through according to the Pew Research Center, says Carr. For some baby boomers having grown up together in the tumultuous s is a commonality, says Dorsey. For Gen Z, the name fits them and they embrace the name and believe it fits them, he says. We find that the zillennial generation often push away from the negative headlines that they are trying to avoid or replicate such as the clickbait stories about millennials acting entitled as adults or having overly high expectations, Dorsey says. They are often the largest working generation in a generation and are often working in a job that is not working for them in a fact that they do not like to repeat, he adds.
