"Gen Z's Panic: The Future Generation Labeled 'Gen Beta'"

Gen Zers are expressing shock and existential stress after realizing that children born from 2025 will be part of "Gen Beta" instead of the current youngest generation, "Gen Alpha." Many find the name "Gen Beta" less impressive and are hurrying to have children before the transition. Some viewers on social media mocked the name, while others discussed their decision not to have children for environmental or financial reasons. As Gen Alpha's online presence grows, some Gen Zers are experiencing similar issues they have mocked millennials for, feeling out of touch with the zeitgeist.
