What gen is 2012?

People born in 2012 are typically considered Generation Z, as Gen Z is generally defined as spanning 1997 to 2012. However, since 2012 is right on the edge of Generation Alpha (which starts around 2013), some sources may categorize 2012 births as part of Gen Alpha instead.

It's a bit of a gray area, depending on how different researchers define the generational cutoffs.
