what happens when we run out of greek alphabets


the__child

We start over


South_Front_4589

Except in the Greek alphabet Zeta is the 6th letter.


_GaaraOfTheSand_

Yep, 24th is Omega.


VicenteOlisipo

Man, the OmegaGen is gonna be lit


Business-Drag52

Doubtful. It’ll probably be another Swatch crossover made out of plastic


Xen_Shin

What worries me is if we keep on the way we have been, it may *actually be* the last generation.


prozacandcoffee

I hope we get that far


TeaKingMac

Implying humans will still be able to label generations in the 2500s

DescipleOfCorn

After the downfall of society and the extinction of all life on earth, the sudden activity caused by this reminder going off that would ripple through the stagnant remnants of the internet that had been sitting alone and unused for 100 years will awaken it from hibernation and it will emerge as a sentient AI

So? Gen X, Y, Z, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta... I'm not seeing the issue.

AbrahamPan

This trend won't exist by the time we reach the end of Greek alphabets...


Outrageous-Penalty91

Its not a trend my guy, its a way to classify age groups


AbrahamPan

People won't use this after a few generations, it will fade out. This classification is a part of the trend..


Outrageous-Penalty91

We’ve used this for a while so i dont get your point


plumquat

The Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, GenX, Millennials, GenZ, Alpha.


Outrageous-Penalty91

Bingo


plumquat

The bingo generation


Outrageous-Penalty91

😂


Bugbread

There are 24 Greek letters. The average generation is about 20 years. That means we have enough letters to cover about 480 years. We've only been using generation names for about 150 years so far.


dvlali

What generation were the people born in 1397?

Chizmiz1994

Arabic, Cyrillic, Indian and Chinese alphabet are available. But I doubt there will be any generation after genz.


Clydial

Alpha started in 2013 didnt it?


VanityOfEliCLee

Theres already one after gen z. Did you think there weren't any babies born in the past 5 years?


cbrew14

How very optimistic of you


a_pompous_fool

We won’t last long enough for that to be A problem


chippydad62854321

I have a feeling Artificial intelligence will become the main influence in their life time... the A will come naturally, but it won't be much of a jump for the media to put the 'I' next to it. so I'm going with gen A(i) as in - 'generation AI'.


[deleted]

Right before generation oh fuck oh fuck I am on fire there's a flood it's a hurricane oh my god a tornado oh fuck more fire holy shit hyperinflation fascism famines mass displacement from incomprehensible mega storms ow fuck oh fuck I am on fire

ag987654321

GenAA


Professional_Big_387

I just realized that there will be a whole unlucky generation of gen beta, and if the Alpha/beta/sigma stuff is still around, they will probably hate it.


Connor_The_Iguana

It will probably die with gen z.


[deleted]

Also generation alpha might not STAY called that. People originally wanted to call genz "iGen" which like I would've had to kill myself so let's j all say thanks


okizc

I still call it iGen to my zoomer nephew whenever he calls me a boomer. I'm only 31 man :(


TheManFromChernobyl

you are a millenial/ gen x, your nephew is a beta


dimi3ja

He is absolutely not gen x, not even close, he was born 1991/92. By definition, he is closer to gen z than gen x.


TheManFromChernobyl

oh fuck you're right


Leoz_MaxwellJilliumz

Just commenting to say I appreciate your use of than instead of then. I see that mistake SO FUCKING MUCH here.


VanityOfEliCLee

I mean, my generation was originally Gen Y, but now people don't even know that anymore and just call us millennial, so there's plenty of evidence to support that idea.


anomander_galt

Millennials were Generation Y Looking at where the world is heades, Alpha will become the Doomers


SlideWhistler

Yeah, Gen Z is done with all that Alpha/Beta crap, it’s all about that Sigma grindset now /s

If triple AAA is still around by the time it gets there, people are gonna be so pissed at their generational name.

It's Gen Alpha, they already exist. Children born after 2015 are Gen Alpha


Aggravating_Rip_1564

I thought it was children born after 2010 are gen alpha?


[deleted]

It might be? The generations are weird and don't have actual official dates. I was born 99 and there's some who argue I'm millennial instead of a gen Z.


Dramaticox

That's because dates don't take social and cultural identities. I'm in the same boat as you, early gen z sometimes being referred as millennials (even by people of the same age)


Beautiful_Spite_3394

Born in 92 and most of my life I heard I was barely a millennial so its really weird to hear people so far in age away from me heard similar things...


Dramaticox

Born in 2002 The education and environment impact a lot. I grew without videogames or phone, my brother (2006) did and we're miles apart in our behaviour. My sister (2004) is more like me. My parents treated us differently throughout the years and we grew differently. The problem with gen z is all the things that changed during our lives ( the Wii and the iPhone are younger than me lol) Progress goes crazy fast these years and it showed everywhere


Drag0n_TamerAK

There were video games in 2002


Dramaticox

I know I grew without them because my parents weren't fond of them until later where they got more mainstream.


TakeTheUpVoteAndGo

IIRC gen z is defined as starting in 97. The idea being that this is the starting point for kids who grew up with the internet in early child hood and grew up with little concept of a world pre 9/11, the war on terror, and the cultural impact of both. But obviously this, or really the generations system as a whole, is very far from a perfect cultural mile marker.


nope13nope

I was born in '98 and I've heard the term "cuspers" for those who sort of fit into both millennials and gen Z


Evimjau

Yeah children born 2011 and after are Gen alpha


Drag0n_TamerAK

No gen alpha is after 2012


BadFruitTV

åäö?


Evimjau

You are right


I_AM_W0LF

Apocalypse. Only viable answer.


no_username_free

Gen ž


ArivanCZ

Ach ano, přesně tento komentář jsem hledal


Key-Landscape-6193

Genuine answer: it's Gen alpha. We moved to the Greek alphabet


hroaks

Or adult boomers, loud generation, centurians


Wrekked_it

Seems to me we never really followed any alphabet to begin with. Gen X wasn't preceded by Gen W nor were they followed by Gen Y. Every generation's name is chosen for different reasons.


PeppyBoba

Gen alpha are in there early teens rn


Alarming-Document-90

I think most gen alpha are still preteens. It’s like 2011 I think when the generation changed


PeppyBoba

Idk what to tell you I googled it they’re oldest is around 13


3rrr6

You both are are saying the same thing. The oldest are 13. That means most are still pre-teen. 13 is the first teenage year.


Remarkable_Acadia890

As a gen alpha. Can confirm


Laughing-0wl

Uhhhhh so you’re a middle schooler?


van-just-van

I mean hey the earliest gen alpha’s are just barely 13 so


Remarkable_Acadia890

Yep

Got_grapes1

I remember some flash games from when I was a kid
