Lol Generation Z born from Mid-1990 and on? I think the writer was trying to say Mid-90s because no way I'm I part of Gen Z.

Edit: Didn't notice it was a British artical. Americans born in 1990 aren't part of Gen Z but are 100% Millennials.

"Homelander" is very American-centric and alienates literally 96% of the world. Alpha is better.

Homeland sounds too much like a television series.

Homelander is already deemed for Generation Z. This is based on the creation of the Department of Homeland Security that was created after the 9/11 attacks, in which Generation Z have no memories of life before 9/11 (and depending on the definition, they would've never existed prior either).

Once again, can we please just let kids of the 2010s just be kids...... We can't even agree on cutoff dates for Millennials/Gen Z. Hell, Gen Z just became somewhat identifiable not even 1-2 years ago. And now we're supposed to be able to identify Gen Alpha? Can we simply wait another.... oh idk..... 10-15 years before we can even begin talking about a generation whom are currently literal kids? Thank you.
