Use and Interpretation of “Zillennials” in Media, Etc.

“Zillennial” is a relatively new term. It hasn’t always been used the same way, and even today people use “Zillennial” in different ways, especially in news articles. So I thought I should let you know!
Especially among younger people on the Internet, Zillennial tends to mean the Millennial Generation Z cusp/microgeneration but that’s not the only way the term gets used. There are two other primary uses which I cover in this video. A lot of times it isn’t even clear what definition writers are using and so having an idea of how they could be interpreting Zillennial may be useful.
I also go over how I think we might have transitioned to using Zillennial as a way to talk about the cusp, when this might have occurred, and possibly why some people have been using Zillennial as a synonym for Generation Z. Examples of other uses are shown on screen.
Hopefully this gives a little more insight to the history of the term Zillennial and various interpretations and uses. If you have any more insight (for example, if you are one of the early Urban dictionary definers, or journalists referenced in this video), please comment and share!
FYI I am not changing how I use the term at this time.
