Wait, what? There's a generation after the Millennials? It's not that long ago since I used to be asked this question. But this generation is building up steam. The oldest Millennials are all grown up and are not exactly "news" anymore (despite what Time Magazine seems to think).

Search word data bringing traffic to After the Millennials does show that "Homeland generation"  and "homelanders" is increasing, meaning it's getting closer to becoming a "legitimate" generational moniker. But many names have been suggested for this generation, and at least to me, none of them sound particularly good.

While Korean women in the entertainment industry undergo canthoplasties and other plastic surgeries to look “less Asian”, Sorry embraces her Asian features and is unknowingly signaling a new trend that will unfold after her career takes off in 2030. Sorry grows up as an only child of a Korean PR professional / Tigermother and a British DJ / sound engineer who moved to Korea to work as an English teacher when the job market dried up in Europe.
