WHAT GENERATION ARE YOU?

Do you have trouble figuring out which generation you belong to? Establishing a cutoff point to the various generations helps researchers investigate how a group has been shaped by similar experiences. Here’s how the Pew polling company officially categorizes the generations by birth year:
– Silent Generation: 1928-1945 (the Great Depression, World War years)
– Baby Boomers: 1946-1964 (the post-war economic boom)
– Generation X: 1965-1980 (generally overlooked, born in a time of little drama or social upheaval, except for disco, of course)
– Millennials: 1981-1996 (shaped by the changes after 9/11, including recession of 2008. It’s the first “everybody gets a trophy” generation)
– Generation Z: 1997-2012 (don’t remember 9/11, but live in a world of surveillance and caution)
– Generation Alpha: those born after 2012. (born into a world of technology, social platforms)
* Ha ha, Generation Alpha is going to be known as Generation Nothing Works Right.
* I got news for you, Generation Alpha. The way things are going in Ukraine, you’re about to become Silent Generation 2: Electric Boogaloo.
* Sorry – which of these generations is the cool one again?
* Eventually we’ll just identify ourselves by which generation our first phone was.
* Who do I see about switching my generation? Is there a form, or some kind of fee?
* I don’t care what generation I’m in, as long as I’m part of Generation Krispy Kreme Donuts.
