Hey there, ever wondered why we talk about “generations” like Gen Z, Millennials, or Baby Boomers? Well, these aren’t just trendy labels; they’re sociological terms to group people born around the same time, often sharing similar experiences and characteristics!
From the Baby Boomers, shaped by post-war prosperity, to the tech-savvy Millennials, and then Generation Z, who grew up with the internet always at their fingertips, each group has its unique story. But what about the very newest generations?
As of 2025, we’re officially welcoming a new generation! Generation Alpha includes those born between 2010 and 2024. And, if you’re born in 2025 or any year up to 2039, you’re part of what’s being called, wait for it… Generation Beta! This classification is widely recognized, notably by social researcher Mark McCrindle.
So, what does this mean for Generation Beta? They’ll be the first to be born entirely within the mid-2020s and beyond, coming of age in a world deeply integrated with artificial intelligence, advanced digital connectivity, and potentially facing new global challenges and opportunities. Their experiences, shaped by rapid technological advancements and evolving societal norms, will define them.
So, if you or someone you know is born in 2025, congratulations, you’re a pioneering member of Generation Beta! It’ll be fascinating to see how this new cohort shapes our world.
