usage
The pattern XX后 (XX hòu, 'after XX') labels a generation by birth decade: 80后 (80hòu, born 1980-89), 90后, 95后, 00后 (línglínghòu). Read each digit individually: 'jiǔ wǔ hòu', not 'jiǔshíwǔ hòu'.
culture
95后 carries the same connotations as 'Gen Z' in English — digital natives, fluent in memes, more individualistic than 80后/90后. Marketing copy aimed at this group leans heavily on this label.
