Yes, someone born in 2002 is considered part of the older end of Generation Z.
Generation Z is typically defined as those born between 1997 and 2012. Therefore, a person born in 2002 falls squarely within this generational range, making them a Gen Z individual. Because 2002 is closer to the beginning of the Gen Z range than the end, they are often considered "older" Gen Z. This can influence their experiences and perspectives within the generation, as they may have different memories of pre-smartphone or pre-social media eras compared to those born later in the Gen Z range.
