Explore the data
Exact published metrics for r/genx. Rising and Falling compare the current seven-day window 2026-10-11 → 2026-10-17 with the previous seven days 2026-10-04 → 2026-10-10 ( complete UTC days; 24,939 current vs 25,163 comparison analyzed records). Signals appear only with at least 5 distinct posts or comments behind them — the current window for Rising, the comparison window for Falling; the CSV export still contains the complete published metric set. Most discussed uses the current analysis lookback (2026-09-17 → 2026-10-17) — frequency, never trending.
