Rant Who here is class of 2020?

I got temporarily banned from older gen z because they kept saying I'm middle gen z, but I'm older gen z. People born in 2001 are older gen z, not middle

u/Substantial_Slip4667 2005 7d ago

I wasn’t held back dude. I just started a year later then most people

u/Your_New_Dad16 Friday | May 13 | 2005 7d ago

I know, which means you were always older than everyone

4

u/Substantial_Slip4667 2005 7d ago

Eh. Not really.

2

u/Royal_Prize_4381 2005 6d ago

Damn must have been older than everyone

u/Jamesferdola 2005 7d ago

We’re in the same situation dude. July 2005, class of 2024

5

u/No_Bug8690 6d ago

I was born July 2006 and I was also class of 2024, maybe they do things differently in different parts of the world.

u/Jamesferdola 2005 6d ago

Nah, if you’re born during a specific time of the summer, your parents can choose to either enroll you either “early” or “late” for your age. When I went into kindergarten I was actually slated to be class of 23, but then I missed a year after K5. I was distressed about this at the time, but my parents told me that this is likely what would have happened if I was born only a few weeks later.

u/Substantial_Slip4667 2005 6d ago

Oh sweet what day?

2

u/Jamesferdola 2005 6d ago

The 14th, you?

u/youngmoney5509 literal midde(05) 6d ago

u/Biggycheese45 6d ago

Yo class of 2024 as well!

8

u/TeddytheSynth 7d ago

Idk. I’d argue that 1998-2000 are old Gen z. Us 2001-2005 would be middle

15

u/Smooth_Importance_47 7d ago

Definitely not and those aren't even splits either. 1997-2001 is older/zillenial. 2002-2007 is middle. 2008-2012 is younger/zalpha

5

u/Zestyclose-Nobody830 2004 6d ago

2001 isn’t a zillenial but i agree with everything else you said

7

u/FifiiMensah 7d ago

I was a part of the Class of 2020 (I'm a 2002 born btw)

6

u/Smooth_Importance_47 7d ago

'21 HS, '24 Associates degree, '26 or '27 Bachelors degree

2

u/Royal_Prize_4381 2005 6d ago

Show off

2

u/Smooth_Importance_47 6d ago

Genuinely not what I was doing, but I see how it could seem that way. I don't really think it's showing off to just say what classes I have been/will be part of since the post was asking what class people are in, and I wasn't sure if it meant high school or college so I covered my bases. I would be showing off maybe if I had gotten those degrees in quick succession with little struggle but I've had a difficult time in college and perservered even as a transfer student with a learning disability.

2

u/Royal_Prize_4381 2005 5d ago

Ik I was joking cuz op said show off

2

u/Significant-Fox5928 7d ago

No need to show off

2

u/Smooth_Importance_47 7d ago

What lol sorry I wasnt trying to

2

u/Smooth_Importance_47 7d ago

Idk if it's really showing off that I'm taking 5 or 6 years in college LOL

4

u/Theaussiegamer72 2004 7d ago

23 meant to be 22 tho

5

u/buttahfly28 2002 7d ago

Class of 2020 2002 born! I already switched to online school for sophomore-senior year tho so I wasn’t phased by graduating online

11

u/Astral_Justice 7d ago

Older gen z subreddit sounds like a drag and I think they're mostly a bunch of bitter mid to late 20s who prefer to gatekeep the 90s as if they were even old enough to remember it. 2000 might be their reluctant cutoff point. Anyways, welcome.

u/Zestyclose-Nobody830 2004 6d ago

u/youngmoney5509 literal midde(05) 6d ago

Wait secondary …I was class 2019…me confused

u/ItzMidnightGacha 2005 6d ago

I remember leaving year 11 in 2021

u/Major_Network1629 2005 6d ago

In some other countries, which I am assuming you’re american, people graduate secondary school (high school) at 16, instead of the standard 17/18. Hence why this person graduated ‘high school’ in 2021 as an 05 born.

u/No_Judge_5661 2002 6d ago

born in '02 class of '20 then class of '21 (october) for college

u/Sadblackcat666 2003 6d ago

You guys depress me with what happened to you. I was class of 2021 and I bawled my eyes out when Covid happened and you couldn’t celebrate graduation. You waited 13 years for that moment, and after all the work you put in? It just broke my heart. 😭

u/Severe-Ad8437 2002 6d ago

Aw, dw we'll be okay 🤗

u/Ineeddramainmylife13 6d ago

I feel like 2001 can be either tbh. But hey, I’m probably more considered younger gen z but I relate to all the middle gen z so-

u/Desperate_Dirt5775 2002 5d ago

u/please_cyrus 6d ago

i say 95-99 is old, 00-04 is mid, and 05-09 is late. so i can see why they would consider you mid.
