what generation comes after gen z

The generation after Gen Z is commonly called Generation Alpha. Some sources also mention a proposed Generation Beta for the cohort after that, but Gen Alpha is the accepted name for the generation immediately following Gen Z.

Quick Scoop

  • Gen Z is followed by Gen Alpha.
  • The exact birth-year ranges can vary a little by source, but Gen Alpha is generally the group born in the early 2010s onward.
  • Generation Beta is a newer, proposed label for the generation after Gen Alpha, not a universally settled one yet.
