Kabar, I have some good news for you. The Millenials are now being supplanted by a new generation called Generation Z. And there much more conservative.

From the Daily Mail:

Teenagers born after 2000 - the so-called ‘Generation Z’ - are the most socially conservative generation since the Second World War, a new study has found.

The youngsters surveyed had more conservative views on gay marriage, transgender rights and drugs than Baby Boomers, Generation X or Millennials.

The questioned were more prudent than Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers but not quite as cash-savvy as those born in 1945 or before.


From Quora.com

Some facts about generation Z:
•A study done in 2014 by Generation Z Goes to College found that Generation Z students identified as being loyal, compassionate, thoughtful, open-minded, responsible, and determined but viewed the other people in our generation as, competitive, spontaneous, adventuresome, and curious.
•A 2016 American study found that church attendance was 41% among Generation Z, compared with 18 percent for Millennials at the same ages.
•Generation Z is also more risk-averse in some areas compared to the Millennials. In 2013, 66% of teenagers had tried alcohol, down from 82% in 1991 and in 2013, 8% of Gen. Z teenagers never or rarely wear a seatbelt when riding in a car with someone else, as opposed to 26% in 1991.
•A study done by the Annie E. Casey Foundation in 2016 found that generation Z had lower teen pregnancy rates, less substance abuse, and higher on time high school graduation rates compared to Millennials.
•Generation Z outnumbers both the baby boomers and the Millennials and makes up 25% of the US population
•Generation Z grew up during the great recession and has a feeling of unsettlement and insecurity.

Encouraging if true. I do have a hard time believing that "Generation Z outnumbers both the baby boomers and the Millennials and makes up 25% of the US population"

“The youngsters surveyed had more conservative views on [...] drugs”

Conservatives opposed the first Prohibition and the current one, as beyond the competence or legitimate authority of government.
