Is 2012 Gen Z?

Yes, 2012 is typically considered part of Generation Z, as Gen Z is generally defined as spanning 1997 to 2012. However, since 2012 is close to the cutoff point, some sources may classify individuals born in that year as part of Generation Alpha, which starts around 2013.

This overlap makes 2012 an interesting transitional year—people born then may identify with traits of both generations.
