Credit where credit is due, if we define a generation as a 15 year period of time, and we decide that Gen Z started in 1995 (for easy math), you do, in fact, land on 1665.

I don't know why the author thinks that Gen D doesn't exist yet, when the pattern of X, Y (Millennials), and Z make a pattern that both implies that the Latin alphabet's use is coming to an end for this purpose (ignoring that Gen X was named not as part of a sequence of letters, but by Douglas Copeland's book, which was titled itself using an existing phrase), and that can easily be extrapolated backwards through time.
