For me, I identify strongly with nostalgia that many Xers have for the 1980s (not necessarily the politics, but the youth culture). However, I'm totally onboard with the ways in which Millennials navigated social media and the rise of the Internet -- and I have much nostalgia from experiencing that during my high school years in the late-90s and my college years throughout the early-aughts. So I get the best of both worlds, there.

With Zoomers, it seems they pretty much grew up with Internet and cyberspace being a constant in their lives, from birth. I think the difference with Alphas is that, since they were mostly born after the Great Recession hit, they (unlike Zoomers) were often trained to become proficient in electronics and technology almost from the time they learned to walk!
