Marketing - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / generation Z
English term or phrase: Centennials
Members of the Y generation are often referred to as Millenials. It seems that Milléniaux is now the French equivalent for this and we see this term regularly. Now that we are starting to talk about the next generation, i.e. the Z generation, people are referring to these as the Centennials. As this generation is rather new, I have not found a French equivalent for this. Please don't say Centenaires as this would not be appropriate. The Z generation consists of people born between 1995 and 2015. I suppose I could also say Post-Milléniaux... but I wanted to pick the brain of other translators to see if anything comes up. Merci.

Asker: Oui, je suis exactement du même avis! Peut-être qu'on verra ce terme apparaître sous peu, qui sait? Mais bon, pour le moment, je crois que je vais m'en tenir à Génération Z ou post-milléniaux. Merci!
