I really can't see this "Y/Z Cusp" lasting past 2000. And even 2000 isn't very "cuspy" like others say. I think everyone born in the 2000's is solely Z.

To continue on with my post, the youngest people I could think of that are part of the whole SJW vs. Alt-right drama are Jo-Ann Butler (SJW) and Stell Bell (Alt-right), both of which were born in 2001.

There doesn't really seem to be anyone younger than that in the whole ordeal.

According to what I have heard, most SJWs and Alt-righters seem to be either younger Millennials (1989-1996) or Y/Z cusps (1997-2001). Many of the members of groups (I have a feeling at least 75% of them) like Identity Evropa and Antifa were born somewhere around that time.

2001 is definitely a cusp, even though they aren't the "truest" cuspers - that would be someone born in 1999; they graduated after the 2016 election and Trump's inauguration but before tide pods and the Parkland shooting.

No they are not 'definitely' a cusp. Where did you get that from? 97% of articles and sources will say 2001 is gen Z. Nobody calls 2001 millennials anymore. Now 1995-2000 are the real y/z cusp because nobody can agree where they belong.

Yeah, calling 2001 millennials was common a couple years ago, but it seems like the vast majority of people now finally agree they're Gen Z (or at least early Gen Z) so I think calling them a Y/Z cusp is outdated by now.

Anyway, this thread is definitely going to get locked so this might as well be my last post on here.
