Why are people born after Gen Z called Gen Alpha and not Gen AA like a spreadsheet column

@evan

When my (our) generation was dubbed Generation X, I thought “well that's some post-modern bullshit”. I'm a weird GenX myself as my parents are/were young baby boomers parents. (Most GenX have Silent Generation parents).

This idea that a letter (not a word) defines our generation … it is what our #punk rock nihilism communicated.

The idea that those behind us are defined by a bullshit letter sequence now? 🤢

IMO Gen Alpha (AA) will be our new Greatest Generation. I have faith in them.
