What generation am I if I was born in 2013?

Answer

If you were born in , your generation is:
Generation Alpha

Generation Alpha is McCrindle Research's name for the generation after Gen Z. McCrindle dates it to births in 2010–2024; this chart starts it in 2013, right after 2012 — the cut-off Pew Research Center uses for the end of Gen Z. 2013 is the first year of that generation, so it is on the cusp with Generation Z: other researchers put this line a few years earlier or later.
