Not sure whether I’m gen Z or millennial, but I definitely burned a lot of CDs. And successfully burned about 20% of them. If even the floor creaked the CD would skip and basically be destroyed.
I may not be the average experience for somebody my age though, considering when I was like 8 I remember using a tape recorder to record my favorite songs from the radio onto a cassette.
Same lmao. '02 here. I was handed the family tape player and I once used it to record a song from a YouTube video because I couldn’t make the computer record itself. I was 12.
Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996.
Gen Z:
~1995~2013
Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years.
I was born in 98, it’s just that some people are insistent millennial ends at the year 2000, while others insist on 1996.
I’ve also heard whether or not you remember 9/11 as the benchmark, and I do, but only barely because I didn’t know what was actually happening.
There’s also some who say it’s whether or not you remember the turn of the millennium, which I don’t because I was 2.
The generation borders are just so fuzzy that I’m often tempted to just go with “zillennial,” but for some reason people think that’s offensive because it “alienates gen Z” or something.

It’s so Gen Z to feel alienated for that. :p
Not only was the definition fuzzy. But it also depends on location with rural areas lagging behind urban.
