Zalpha (sub-Generation)

DATE AND AGE RANGES

Generation Zalpha is a sub-generation that commonly starts in 2009 and ends in the early to mid 2010s. They are on the cusp of both GEN Z and generation alpha. they range from 7-14 as of 2023.

TRAITS

2009-2011 lean GENZ while 2013+ lean gen alpha.the older cohort might remember a time before the 8th generation video game consoles while the younger cohort may not.This sub generation grew up when social media was well established and in the United States did not graduate elementary school before Covid.With the possible exception of 2009 and 2010 zalpha were some of the first exposed to ipads at a young age the younger zalphas possibly before age 3 the term ipad babies were coined for this cohort usually in a condescending way

Effects of pandemic

The vast majority of Zalphas failed to turn 10 before the Covid pandemic hit in 2020 as a result thier elementary schooling  was disrupted. Social skills also declined among children as a result they played on thier Ipads alot more frequently than people born in 2008 and earlier did
