Then.. what is 1927-1946?
(My father was born in 1944, I always thought he was a boomer)
The other huge difference for Z and Millennials:. Raised on social media.
Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z Explained
My youngest brother was born in 1947, which makes him a baby boomer. My late son was born in 1960 (he passed away on September 1, 2012. His brother was born in 1963 So he is also a Baby Boomer. (I never thought about this btw)
My daughter was born in 1970 which makes her Generation X.
That's all for me.
I saw the other day a report on FOX News that Japan came out with a flying Car.
BINGO it’s a monkey see monkey do deal.
And toss in a dash of Dr. Spock BS teachings fail ensues.
I do not believe that chart at all. My nephew told me maybe 15% of students in his HS are conservative and that is pushing it. It’s a red state , smaller town.
Talk with a y 16-18 year old today. They have been mass indoctrinated
Hi.
A PSA.
To Gen Z and Millennials:
I’m an old guy. Please don’t fu@k with me. I will shoot you.
I post with my real name.

As usual the author completely skipped over my generation.

These are the kids the boomers raised. The same little brats who used to carry on ,screaming and shouting in a store while their mothers tried to appease them rather than give a whack in the ass are now the same punks who are causing all the rioting that’s happening.
As Charlie Kirk of ''Turning Point USA’’ points out it's not that young people are opposed to conservative values , it just that they've haven't been exposed to them.
Once they are however a lot of them get it. The great majority of these young people are actually quite apolitical.
They do support Trump but unfortunately they understand it can be a liability. What they want is a good job that's ‘’ meaningful’’, pays good and they want security. They see that in Trump and they will most likely vote for him. Also a lot of these kids are not into drugs. They see that as a waste of time and effort and consider ‘’stoners’’ to be losers.
I was born in 65 and my wife in 70 and she has little memories of the economic doldrums of the dreary 70’s. She has no memories of the Vietnam war or the civil rights movement and protests. My first vivid memories are of the 1969 moon landing and being in Alabama with my grandparents visiting family and a march/riot in progress just down the road from us. Gas lines, hate of the military and police, she doesn’t remember any of it.
My kids are all Z’s and all have turned out conservative so far and I get lots of questions of how things were when I was a kid growing up. They can’t conceive of the Cold War and how we grew up knowing everything you knew could end in 30 minutes if the US/USSR went nuclear in a war. What did you do was a question I got from them? I said you just lived your life and hoped it wouldn’t happen, there was nothing you could do about it other than elect a strong president, what good would have done to worry about it-none.
All three of them worked at part time jobs while in high school, it was expected of them as well as doing well in school. One’s a rookie cop, one’s in nursing school and the other just started college. My sister and all my brothers except for one have Z generation kids and all of them worked in high school and are in college or graduated and working. One is a pharmacist, one a SeaBee with a college degree and the rest are in college. All save the one brother raised their kids in a traditional home and all turned out conservative.
The one brother who married a kook and divorced has three daughters, no stability in their lives living with their leftist mom. All Z’s, all bat crap crazy leftist who now live with their Dad finally, my brother who didn’t get custody in the divorce, but paid all the bills. BLM, ANTIFA, Xanax, counseling, threats of suicide, fist fights in their 20’s, all this from a liberal parent being in charge of these Z’s. He told them last week, you’re all past 18 and I’m tired of you behaving like savages, if you don’t change quickly I’m kicking you out. Liberals and Z’s equal a disastrous outcome and what’s happening in the streets shows the damage liberalism causes on children!
It's convenient for so many to "forget" about the New Deal, Great Society etc etc....
The book is notable because that is where we get the term "Millennial." Strauss and Howe were the first to use that name to describe the generation being born at the time the book was written. (I think Howe ultimately settled on 1982-2004 as the definition).
In their misguided minds and background that stood for nothing they have created something as misguided as they are to stand for? Perhaps that is giving too much credit?
“Then.. what is 1927-1946?”
The “Silent Generation”, I think.
I was a pre-teen kid during WWII, and when the war ended, the liberals were all wringing their hands, forecasting that crime was going to skyrocket because all those "kill-crazy GIs" were coming back into society.
Nothing happened. The vets were SO sick of the carnage and were more interested in making up for the years lost than anything else.
During the Eisenhower years those same liberals were snickering that the post war era was "boring". I got sick of those double-dealing bastards pretty early in my life.
Times were good and the parents wanted to make sure their kids had all the goodies they never had because of the Depression. Spoiled the crap out of them.
