Every generation has its own nickname: The Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, Generation Z . . . and now, we have a SUB-GENERATION to familiarize ourselves with:
The ZILLENNIALS. A Zillennial is anyone born three years before the end of Millennials and / or three years after the start of Generation Z. That’s roughly 1992 to 1998.
They don’t feel like they fully fit in with Millennials OR Gen Z, so they’ve carved out their own identity.
According to one Zillennial, their musical sweet spot is from 2007 to 2011, when they were growing up. If you’d like to better relate to the Zillennial in your life, here’s a list of songs from that golden age:
1. “My First Kiss”, 3OH!3 featuring Kesha
2. “When I Grow Up”, The Pussycat Dolls
3. “Can’t Be Tamed”, Miley Cyrus
4. “Love You Like a Love Song”, Selena Gomez
5. “If You Seek Amy”, Britney Spears
6. “I’m on a Boat”, The Lonely Island featuring T-Pain
7. “Let It Rock”, Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne
8. “Gives You Hell”, All-American Rejects
9. “Airplanes”, B.o.B. featuring Hayley Williams
10. “Telephone”, Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé
11. “Fly” by Nicki Minaj featuring Rihanna
12. “Second Chance”, Shinedown
13. “So What”, Pink
14. “Young Wild and Free”, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa featuring Bruno Mars
15. “Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)”, A.R. Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls
