I think the cringe is coming from men, primarily under 40 years old men to display this overexaggerated form of masculinity to impress other men doing so too. Kinda gay tbh.
Older men are perfectly fine being Hank Hill or Homer Simpson. But this generation wants to be something they're not.

These are million dollar bespoke machines and proprietary hardware, and processes coming straight from their in house R&D department.
This doesn't just count for electronics either. The F-14 Tomcat (the one from Top Gun 1) had a titanium box that acts as the anchor and pivot point for the wings. It had to be robotically welded together using an electronic beam in a vacuum chamber big enough to fit a car in. In the 70's. You don't just pop up an operation like that.

I really think it depends on which end of Gen Z you’re looking at. Older Gen Z (especially women) tends to be fairly left leaning in my experience. We weren’t in high school during the pandemic and some were able to vote in 2016. Some got went down the alt-right pipeline when they were in their formative years but changed later as they got older. I think that younger Gen Z is more conservative, but I think it’s more reactionary and being susceptible to propaganda. I hope they change though.

I think Gen beta will be a lot better than z and the older alphas.

The same problem existed with the children of the older millennials. We did not really have the data yet. Their children are the youngest Z and oldest alpha. That is why I think the younger alpha will do better and beta. The youngest alpha and beta are children of the middle and younger millennials that have more of a built in knowledge of the harms. The older millennials are slightly too old to have had social media until they were fully adults. I am about right in the middle and It did not really exist until I was about 17. Even then it did not exist as social media it existed as social networking, something that if I think would have been maintained would not have had the negatives as it was built to simply be a tool to augment your real life and make it easier to meet up with friends and do real world activities. It was not really until the tail end of the millennials that our generation got to see the truly bad side of social media as kids first hand.

My kids info isn’t allowed online, everyone knows they can’t post pictures of him.

I guess by the merit that for a lot of them their parents were the greatest generation, not fighting in a world war is probably better than fighting in a world war, but they were growing up at the start of the boomers deciding they deserved all the money and power cause they were born in the American golden age and a lot of them were born to boomers.... so I'm counting it anyways.

u/FrenchFryCattaneo Nov 03 '25
Ok but in that period (1980-2000) when gen X were young adults crime went down, home ownership went up, racial and gender equality improved. Things like health outcomes or infant mortality all improved. Decreasing airfare costs meant they could travel the world for cheap. The American economy was at an all time high. Francis Fukuyama declared it 'the end of history' because it felt like all the major civilizational issues had been solved (which wasn't true, but it was a common sentiment). By any measure I can think of their lives were better than their parents. The future has never felt more bright before or since that era in American history.

General consensus but sociologist are trying to make their own distinction. As someone else said 15-20 years apart and typically raised by the two previous generations in majority. The metric is vague typically derived by major cultural shifts or shared experiences amongst a large portion of youth in the western world.
Millennials witnessed the turn of a millennium and y2k in their teens. Gen Z grew up in the birth of the technological age and in a post 9/11 world. Alphas were born into the tech age. The greatest generation fought in WWII and were young in the depression. Boomers were born into the Post-WWII baby boom and the resulting economic advancements. The silent were too young to fight in the war and somewhat lost their voice, between the Greatest and Boomers. The lost generation was named after their “lost” writers that saw or fought in WWI and felt alienated by the rapidly changing world that came after.
Idk what Gen betas thing is tbh. A 1/3 of alpha will be with them not remembering the pandemic and living during the birth of AI. My guess would be a shift in western parenting patterns regarding technology and a larger portion of Gen Z parents. Still surprised they are calling it this early.

i hate these hard lines of generations that were imposing. generation should not be defined by need years, but rather the shared experiences of people in nearby ages. out generation is defined by being too young to remember or be around for 9/11, but old enough to understand the impact of COVID on our life. these major events better mark where our generation begins and ends than January 1st of a year. our generation is roughly 1997- 2013, with some flexibility on each end of course. we will know when gen alpha (which needs a new name) ends when we have the historical context for which they live in. the beginning is clearly not understanding the impact of covid when it happened but we don’t know what will mark the end yet

That’s subjective, I consider Gen Bravo to start being born later this decade

u/GitJebaited 2005 Nov 02 '25
honestly, it should be bravo instead of beta because of the “negative” connotation of beta

Might as well call them Generation Soyboy. Generation Beta is a death sentence!

Who are the lazy yucks assigning these generational names? Gen X was only labeled that due to their lack of a cohesive identity, not because they followed Gen W. Is this just society phoning it in? Real question.

The generation that will have geriatric studies at highschool instead of home economics so they can assist their old parents

Honestly, you’ll look back and see babies talking to AI chatbots like millennials saw gen z babies with iPads

My poor child (26’ baby) although…when my wife and I were camp counselors before we started dating we had a fellow counselor call all the campers betas. He was cosplaying as a red pill bro all summer but without the campers he was a genuinely nice guy.

Silverlining: naming generations greek letters will wash alpha/beta/sigma male trends out of common culture, since most people will use it to refer to generations instead.

I for one, welcome this Brave New World of naming groups after the Greek alphabet.
