Oh hello, darlings! It’s 2025, and while most of us are still figuring out how to stick to our New Year’s resolutions (khaana kam, drama zyada), a brand-new generation has arrived. Yep, pack up your crop tops and slang dictionaries because the kids born this year onwards will officially belong to Generation Beta.
Before you roll your eyes and ask, “Beta kya hai?” (pun intended), let Mama give you a little history lesson, quick and snazzy:
- The Greatest Generation (1901–1927): OG survivors, lived through the Great Depression and won World War II. Basically, legends.
- The Silent Generation (1928–1945): Played it cool, stayed low-key, and invented rock and roll. Respect.
- Baby Boomers (1946–1964): The “back in my day” squad who saw Elvis, moon landings, and Woodstock.
- Generation X (1965–1980): The chill, grunge-loving rebels. If sarcasm was a generation, it’s them.
- Millennials (1981–1996): Grew up with Nokia phones, Harry Potter, and the trauma of crashing economies. Adulting since forever.
- Gen Z (1997–2010): Born with Wi-Fi in their veins & iPhones in their hands and are still explaining Social media trends to us.
- Gen Alpha (2011–2024): The iPad kids who think Alexa is their BFF and take digital-native vibes to the next level.
And now *drumrolls* Welcome Generation Beta (2025–2039)! These kiddos will probably know how to code before they can count and will call us “uncle” and “aunty” (ouch, the disrespect). Tech-savvy and socially conscious, they’ll be sipping eco-friendly, plant-based smoothies while teaching their parents how to build AI-powered homework bots.
But let’s be real, every generation thinks they’re the main character. Millennials are nostalgic about the ‘90s, Gen Z is busy filming dance reels, and now Gen Beta? They’ll probably have holograms to flex on Instagram 5.0.
Mama’s Verdict:
Listen, every generation comes with its quirks, drama, and slang we don’t understand (still recovering from them saying “Delulu is the solulu”😭). But one thing is constant, time flies, and soon, Gen Beta will be schooling us on how to exist. Till then, darling, keep sipping your coffee and reminding these kids who the real icons are. Hint: it’s us. Also Be nice to these Betas because they’ll be the ones designing your nursing home robots.
