Z generation is the next generation to the Millennials. 'Z' is the last letter of the alphabet, meaning the last generation born in the 20th century. There is no exact standard for dividing generation. Usually, people born before 1984 are called X Generation, born after 1984 are called Millennials, and the generation born after the mid-1990s is called Z generation. As of 2020, those under the age of 24 are still students or new to society. They look like the 'young millennials', but they have a lot of differences in their mindset and lifestyle.[4]
