Millennials: The Next Generation

It occurs to me that there are children being born right now whose parents were born in this century.

That means that Millennials are parents now.
That means that Millennials are no longer the latest generation.

What shall we call the new one?

The Generation of War? Or maybe they'll be the Rapture Generation.

Gen Z is too young to remember 9/11 when it happened. I've seen them defined as roughly 1995-2010 (although some put millennials at 2004 which I don't agree with). I've also seen them referred to as the 'iGeneration'.

No idea what today's kids will be called.
