2020s
The 2020s (pronounced "twenty-twenties" or "two thousand [and] twenties") is the current decade that began on 1 January 2020 and will end on 31 December 2029.
Generation Z
Generation Z, often shortened to Gen Z and informally known as Zoomers, is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1997 to 2012. Most members of Generation Z are the children of members of Generation X, and it is predicted that many will be the parents of members of Generation Beta.
2030s
The 2030s (pronounced "twenty-thirties" or "two thousand [and] thirties"; shortened to "'''the '30s" and also known as "the Thirties'''") is the upcoming decade that will begin on 1 January 2030 and end on 31 December 2039.
Millennials
Millennials, also known as Generation Y or Gen Y, are the demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996. Most millennials are the children of baby boomers and older members of Generation X, and are often the parents of members of Generation Alpha.

Postmodernity
Postmodernity (post-modernity or the postmodern condition) is the economic or cultural state or condition of society which is said to exist after modernity. The idea of the postmodern condition is sometimes characterized as a culture stripped of its capacity to function in any linear or autonomous state like regressive isolationism, as opposed to the progressive mind state of modernism.

Zillennials
Zillennials, occasionally called Zennials, are a social cohort encompassing people born on the cusp of or during the latter years of the Millennial generation and the early years of Generation Z. Sources typically give ranges of those born from 1993 to 1998, though some extend this further in either direction. Their adjacency between the two generations and limited age set has led to their characterization as a "micro-generation". They are generally the children of younger Baby Boomers and older Gen Xers. Estimates of the U.S. population in this cohort range from 30 million to 48 million.
