Not just young people anymore:

* https://www.nhk.or.jp/po/zokugo/274.html: それから15年ほどたった今、「親指族」はもはや特定の集団を指す言葉ではなくなり
ました。街中でも電車内でも、子どもから60歳代、時には70歳代まで、あらゆる世代の人々が親指でスマホを操作する姿が見られるようになり
ました。
* IT用語辞典バイナリ (https://www.weblio.jp/content/親指族): 親指族という言葉が使われだした当初

くの人々にとって携帯電話を利用することが当たり前のこととなりつつあるため、とくに「親指族」と呼ばれる機会は少なくなっている。


Has made its way to English:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb_tribe
* https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2005/jan/13/gadgets.mobilephones: "This transformation, found in 
mobile phone users all around the world, has spawned a redefining of a Japanese word. Oyayubizoku, or 'thumb 
tribe', once meant people who spent their time playing pachinko. Now it refers to those who prefer texting 
on their 'keitai' to face-to-face communication."
* https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/mar/24/mobilephones.games: "In Japan, the trend was particularly 
marked. Plant even found the under-25s referred to themselves as oya yubi sedai - the thumb generation, or 
thumb tribe."
* https://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/12/technology/all-thumbs-without-the-stigma.html:  "So important has the 
thumb become on gadgets in Japan, where text messaging caught on earlier, that a certain demographic group 
is referred to as oyayubi sedai, 'the thumb generation.' Dr. Tenner pointed to findings that young Japanese, 
accustomed to using their thumbs to send messages, are now using them to do other tasks -- like pointing and 
ringing door bells -- traditionally the realm of the index finger."
* http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1891920.stm: "The changing habits have become so noticeable that in 
Japan, young people have been nicknamed the 'thumb tribe' or 'thumb generation'."
* https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumbs-up-to-the-thumb-tribe/articleshow/2233780.cms: "Thumbs up to 
the thumb tribe" ... "GenX prefers their thumbs to their index fingers when it comes to texting, playing 
video games or any other everyday work." ... "'For the thumb generation , life is about fingertip 
consciousness.'"
* https://www.politico.com/story/2012/08/romney-not-yet-a-member-of-the-thumb-tribe-079274: "Mitt not yet 
member of 'thumb tribe'"

We can probably have 「親指世代」 too.
