What generation is 2012?

People born in 2012 typically belong to Generation Z, which spans from about 1997 to 2012. However, since 2012 is very close to the transition point between Gen Z and Generation Alpha (which starts around 2013), some sources may consider individuals born in 2012 to be part of the newer Gen Alpha instead.

It's one of those cases where definitions vary slightly, so it depends on how different researchers and cultural analysts categorize the cutoff.
