      I think OP is probably referring to gen-alpha. The millennial’s kids. The ones that are growing up never knowing a world without Minecraft or smartphones.

          There’s only like, five or six alive right now. There’s the Baby Boomers (our parents, because most of our grandparents have died off by now), there’s the one after us, the Zoomers, which are Gen-X’s kids. Gen-X is the one that came right before us. You and me are Millennials, I’m 40. We came into adulthood in or around the year 2000. Our kids are mostly gen Alpha. The first generation born entirely within the 21st century and have never known a world that wasn’t fully connected 24/7.

        Superior quality, but didn’t make it on the market, the cassettes and mechanisms were too expensive, the heads as well. Sony thought that wouldn’t matter, so they pushed it… turns out price does matter.
