Explore the data
Exact published metrics for r/genx. Rising and Falling compare the current seven-day window 2026-08-23 → 2026-08-29 with the previous seven days 2026-08-16 → 2026-08-22 ( complete UTC days; 24,515 current vs 29,159 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 (2026-07-30 → 2026-08-29) — frequency, never trending.
