Talk:Generation Alpha

Gen alpha starts in 2013

It was always 2012 where gen z ended I don’t understand the mix up and how it became early 2010 2A02:C7C:6330:1D00:5DC5:E1DE:718D:553C (talk) 22:44, 24 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

2013 to 2028 is Gen Alpha and Gen Beta begins 2029 to 2044. 2600:1700:6580:36B0:99CD:D62B:D257:31D0 (talk) 22:57, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
I have a sinking feeling this is a 13 year old trying to get out of being a defined as a part of Gen Alpha.
McCrindle who created it coined it as 2010-2024, so why don't we stick with that? ~2025-33884-30 (talk) 06:46, 16 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I’m pretty sure every generation, including Gen Alpha, is at least 15 years old (every single one of them is 15 years old) It wouldn’t make sense to a generation to be 12 years old since Gen Beta started in 2025 wouldn’t it? I think the correct timeline for Gen Alpha is 2010-2025, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. (Please be respectful, though.) ~2026-38994-8 (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Maybe you're right. But on Wikipedia, it doesn't matter what we think, it matters what reliable sources say. Read the sources in Generation_Alpha#Date_and_age_range_definitions.
I take more comfort in the criticism of the concept than in the labels themselves. Komonzia (talk) 18:06, 18 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
I'd like to remind everyone that these are social, not biological, generations. Moreover, this is a "soft subject" (meaning, it's not exact). So don't worry too much about the boundaries. Nerd271 (talk) 18:30, 18 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah you're right :D it may not be exact but it's somewhere in the early 2010s. ★ Campssitie (msg) (contribs) 03:48, 19 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I didn't know (that was me on my phone, we are the same person, I wasn't logged in at the time). And there was a mistake in my text, I meant to say Gen Alpha was (maybe) in 2010-2024, not 2010-2025. Although you are right, I appreciate your comfort into reliable sources, I do too, don't worry. ★ Campssitie (msg) (contribs) 03:48, 19 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
It didn’t become 2010, the only problem with it is the fact different research centers have different Gen Z end dates, which obviously will interfere with Gen Alpha starting dates ~2026-12970-36 (talk) 21:48, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
That's why they article says early 2010s and not a fixed date, no? ★ Campssitie (msg) (contribs) 🧋🏖 06:02, 28 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
As a Gen Alpha born (2013), our generation ACTUALY begins in 2010, some think it should be 2013, and you should know that Gen Zalpha exist, which is a group for people born in 2010 to 2015

Don't worry Ciro, I am aware of sub-social generations. :)
I moreover want to note as well that no fixed date has been universally agreed on, which is why people fight over when Gen Alpha starts because the early 2010s are the only time-range people agreed on.
That includes Gen Zalpha, I personally think it's a two year gap for Zalpha (2010-2012), but I don't want to get in an argument.
These are supposed to be arbitrary (It's some kind of pseudoscience), so don't worry too much, as Nerd271 said. ★ Campssitie (msg) (contribs) 🧋🏖 08:54, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Even if the line is supposed to be drawn arbitrarily, there should still be a common agreed upon time range as otherwise census data from different sources will overlap. i.e. statistics centre A has birth dates 1997-2012 while B has 1996-2010. From what I can see it seems to be blogs and statistics from censuses that vary in dates. Most academic literature on google scholar and/or Jstor seems to always referance McCrindle and the 2010 date. ShoukiPookie (talk) 17:05, 30 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Gen Alpha is born from 2013 to 2024 not 2025 2025 is the start of Gen Beta ~2026-20967-59 (talk) 17:58, 4 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

remove the "scratch" from the text below picture 6 and replace it with programming app. the picture does not show a single of scratch. ~2026-20460-81 (talk) 16:31, 15 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Not done: You're correct that it doesn't look like Scratch is displayed on the tablet screen, but unless I'm mistaken, the child is using physical, cut-out Scratch blocks on the floor and holding one in her hand. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 19:04, 15 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Gen Alpha is 2013-2028 not 2010-2024

Stop saying 2010 kids Gen Alpha Because A 2010-2012 kids experienced Gen z's world ~2026-43447-02 (talk) 13:22, 6 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
