How do you do fellow gen z

I hate being lumped in with all the zoomers in gen z. To me, gen Z is really two generations, gen Z is 1997-2006 and zoomers are 2006-2015. There's just a huge cultural gap, at least in my experience. I'll talk about how all my school computers used windows XP, and zoomers will just stare at me like I'm ancient or something.
- Yup, 2000 and I cannot relate with anyone even a couple years younger, we still didn't have social media till 12-14 y/o. It's so different to kids who've been online their whole lives.
  
  '01, and I agree. I've always had computers at my disposal to some extent, but kids these days have even more technology around them. Makes me wonder what kind of paradigms we'll have 20 years from now.
- Get off of my Millenial lawn! 👴
  
  (I cannot afford a lawn)
Wait wait wait... Am I gen X?! My world just crumbled
- Gen X is 1965 to 1981; if you just missed the mark for Gen Z, you're possibly a millennial, aka Gen Y (1982 - 1996).
  
  As someone from 1996 I feel split :[
  
  Yep! I'm dumb, thanks for the correction, I'm feeling a bit less old now :)
  
  So I am Gen X born 1980. And who decided this?
- Gen x is 1965-1980 Gen y (millennial) is 1981-1996
  
  There's contention on if gen z started in 96 or 97
  
  I choose 96
  
  For no particular reason
  
  Thanks!
- when were you born? if its the early 80s multiple groups want to claim you
  
  Not really, I'm clearly an Y lemming. Just sleep deprived to thing straight
