In a stunning generational pivot, the LDS Church has officially reassigned the long-coveted title of âChosen Generationâ from Millennials to Gen Alpha, leaving Gen Z to quietly seethe somewhere between a second hour Gospel Doctrine class and an existential spiral.
Church officials say the change comes after careful consideration, years of youth conference enthusiasm, and the discovery that Gen Alpha can swipe through the Gospel Library app faster than anyone alive. Toddlers with tablets and testimony videos have now claimed the spotlight, armed with Light the World stickers, snack-sized faith, and a dangerously inflated sense of pre-millennial purpose.
Meanwhile, Gen Zâwho endured pandemic-era seminary, three iterations of the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet, and being the first generation to follow prophets on Instagramâfinds itself skipped entirely. No mantle. No honor. No âgeneration reserved for this time.â Just vibes.
Millennials, who once carried the Chosen torch with EFY CDs and relentless guilt over not going to enough institute, are reportedly thrilled to hand it off. Most have quietly retreated to the Primary room with Costco fruit snacks and no intention of ever attending a stake dance again.
As for Gen Z, theyâve begun responding in the most Gen Z way possible: ironically. Several have taken to social media to announce their new self-assigned role as âThe Overlooked but Still Pretty Doctrinal Generation,â and have rated the mantle redistribution a solid 4/10 for execution, but a strong 9/10 for chaos.
