People ‘can’t believe’ what babies born after midnight tonight will be called

The new year will see the start of something very new indeed

As one door closes, another opens and so, as the new year begins so will a new generation.

That’s right, it’s over for Gen Alpha as tomorrow (1 January) marks the rise of a new beginning.

While plenty of people are still dwelling on ‘Gen Z this’ and ‘Gen Z’ that, babies born after midnight tonight are part of a whole other label - and people ‘can’t believe’ what they will be called.

I’m not talking about the popular names lined up for newborns in 2025 but the fact they will be a part of Generation Beta.

Yep, the next wave of kids born between 2025 and roughly 2039 will be known as Gen B.

Those dates are flexible, of course, just like past generations, but one things for sure; Gen Beta begins at midnight. Gen Alpha ran from 2010 to 2024 with Gen Z (and here’s where the arguments begin) going from 1997 to 2013 after millennials from 1981 to 1996.

But users on Twitter are coming in hard, as one person wrote: “Might be the worst name they could of thought of.”

Another echoed: “Being called a Beta Baby is crazy work.”

“Well, that’s an unfortunate name,” someone else writes, as another is pretty made up: “Thank goodness I wasn’t born a Beta.”

“Imagine being called ‘Beta’ your entire life,” a different user said.

“I don’t think they’ll like that very much,” a sixth quips, with others even saying: “Imma have to wait 14 years to have my next child.”

And while some predict big advancements coming from this new generation, one user is less optimistic, writing: “This will be the worst generation ever mark my words.”

Some of big wishes for this lot too as they write: “I hope Gen Beta kids have a better, less technology dependent childhood than Alphas’s.”

While others have worries for them: “Generation beta is crazy. Why would they choose that? these kids aren’t gonna survive the lunch table.”

Although it’s worth pointing out that nearly all the other kids they’ll be sat with at the ‘lunch table’ are going to be Gen B too.

Plenty of users predict that 'these memes will write themselves', as others simply say ‘ouch’.

But there’s still that optimism from some as one writes: “In majority they will be kids of millennial and some of initial Gen Zs...all in all children of 90s kids.

"Hoping for best ever born generation as their parents are from best times of earth non tech followed by tech times.”
