Generation Naming: What Came Before Millennials and Founders | TimeHow Every Generation of the Last Century Got Its Nickname.
The Six Living Generations In AmericaThe Six Living Generations In America.
the 1840’s. When blacks and whites were equals.I thought it would be interesting to see which "Generation" members of the Forum (at least those actually actively participating) fall within.
First to see simply to see the spread of actively participating members "Generational" categories.
Second, to see if various political viewpoints do tend to fall generally within "Generational" categories.
The categories have been pre-determined by a couple of sources:
Generation Naming: What Came Before Millennials and Founders | Time
and:
The Six Living Generations In America
Here are the Options:
1. G.I./Greatest Generation, born between 1901 – 1926. "Children of the WWI generation & fighters in WWII & young in the Great Depression…all leading to strong models of teamwork to overcome and progress."
2. Mature/Silent Generation, born between 1927 – 1945. "Went through their formative years during an era of suffocating conformity, but also during the postwar happiness; Korean and Vietnam War generation."
3. Baby Boomers, born between 1946 – 1964. "1. The save-the-world revolutionaries of the ’60s and ’70s; and 2. The party-hardy career climbers (Yuppies) of the ’70s/’80s. The 'Me' Generation."
4. Generation X, born between 1965 – 1980. "The “latch-key kids” grew up street-smart but isolated, often with divorced or career-driven parents. Government and big business mean little to them. Want to save the neighborhood, not the world."
5. Generation Y/ Millennials, born between 1981 – 2000. "They have been told over and over again that they are special, and they expect the world to treat them that way. They do not live to work, they prefer a more relaxed work environment with a lot of hand holding and accolades."
6. Generation Z/ Boomlets, born after 2001. "In 2006 there were a record number of births in the US and 49% of those born were Hispanic, this will change the American melting pot in terms of behavior and culture. They have never known a world without computers and cell phones. Have Eco-fatigue: they are actually tired of hearing about the environment and the many ways we have to save it."
So which do you fall in?

Given your user name of eco farm, I would guess that your generation is electrical power generation.
Labelling people into generations is really silly.
Methane.
The description of Millennials is biased, I think.I thought it would be interesting to see which "Generation" members of the Forum (at least those actually actively participating) fall within.
First to simply see the spread of actively participating member's "Generational" categories. (There are many, many who've joined but stopped participating)
Second, to see if various political viewpoints do tend to fall generally within "Generational" categories.

The description of Millennials is biased, I think. In part because I am one, in part because I think it's wrong.

"Inherited a country they had no part in creating from their parents, took the benefits, failed to appreciate it, and then left nothing behind ... all while being self-righteous about it."

Maybe it's because I'm an older Mellinnial, but I certainly don't expect the world to treat me as such, given past experience.
Although it would have been nice if the system (american dream?) hadn't been smashed to the point where upward mobility is not much of a thing anymore.
