Rachel Janfaza is an associate writer for CNN Politics in Washington , D.C. , covering youth political culture and everything related to young voters in the U.S. She believes that Gen Z (those born between 1997 and 2012 ) should be divided into halves: Gen Z 1.0 and Gen Z 2.0 .

According to her chart, the younger half of the generation lived a different life heavily influenced by smartphones, TikTok , and the aftermath of the pandemic.
