Can't wait to see when you do a video on boomers.😆

👍👍

as a gen zer this is quite interesting

WW1 is sad as hell man I swear

What about the "Gilded age" in the 1870s? Other named ages.

'TheLostGeneration'/'TheGreatestGeneration(GI)'/ & the 'old' SilentMinority: 1880-1928.

There were also men who were still considered young enough to have fought in both world wars. Or overlapped from ww2 and the Korean War. How horrible.

roxics not t really. I think of the skate and street art scene as part Of gen x and late 70s early 80s are definitely that. Early exers were more grunge but it's the same overall feel compared to the conformity and eagerness of millennials.

@@gauloise6442 You're right about that. That's one concession I will give people born even into the mid 80s, they may not be technically Gen X but they usually fit the persona. But the media still tends to ignore that tail end Gen X early millennial era.

@@roxics i agree. I am technically a Millennial, but I act like a Gen Xer since I was born on the cusp so I guess I am Xennial. I think in part it was how fast the culture and technology changed, but also people in my age group were old enough to play Atari and Intellivision while watching MTV. Then we were growing out of the stuff that Millennials are nostalgic for. Younger Millennials will ask me do you remember X cartoon and I will remember it being advertised, but I thought it was too young for me.

As someone born mid 80s I agree 100% that people born about 87 or 88 onward have a pretty clear millennial identity, and those born before about 78 or 77 or older, seem to have a pretty clear gen x identity. I have always felt people born about 77ish-86ish were just completely skipped over in the media, leaving us confused which generation we belong to. None of us ever even heard the term millennial until we were adults, only to find out that's what we were, despite growing up on big wooden console tvs, hair bands and grunge music, cord phones, Nintendo, MTV when they played music. Then one day in the 2000s you're told you're a millennial, and you look at what millennial represent, like tight pants and emo music, etc. and that doesn't seem right at all. Leaving about a decade of people not sure what generation they belong to..

That's all great and everything but by purchasing apple products you're literally giving your money to someone who would love nothing more than to see you dead!... as a Millennial..

Yeah, I am not a huge fan of their year ranges either. I prefer using the Pew Research Center's ranges.

Same.

I wanna be a zoomer. 😂

Generation Alpha apparently

screwed

@@blacktophemirt8526 lol

Generation beta more like hahaha fucking alpha.. Them kids ain't even gonna know what gender they are

Varies, there's no standard range.

A LOT of the RESEARCHERS say this, so yes.

No it’s not

I think he has shown the wrong cut-offs for millennials and genZ Millennials are actually from 1981-1996 and genZ from 1997-2012

Especially with millennials, when anyone talks about them they usually think of the younger ones born in 1990 or later. The ones at the cusp of gen X still remember a lot of life before the internet.

@@adlinkujur2382your clueless

@@Ashwind2018 clueless for stating facts? Sure Einstein 🤡

@@adlinkujur2382 you didn’t do your research, if you did you would know that people born from 1982 to 2004 are millennials, your facts are not worth a damm 😝

I mean all of these are just made-up terms and there are lots of "micro generations" like the one you mention, but yes according to the Pew Research Center the oldest millennials are now 40.

@@FutureNow No offense to you I think you did a good job. But is there any idea why things just are not set in stone? After all there is a lot of talk about micro generations. Most are groups of people who don't feel they belong on either side. Is it more about dates or cultural happenings or both?

These terms are subjective and there are different ranges depending on what source you use, so both and neither.

I used to follow Strauss and Howe, but now prefer Pew Researches dates. I like 1981-'96

Each generation is appropriately 20 years based on shared experience of an era. There are always some differences between the tail end of any given generation, which is why you see the variation. As a mid-gen Xer (1973), I would say that anyone who doesn’t remember Reagan, the Cold War, the day MTV was born or remembers the first kid to get Atari on the block (intellivision!), isn’t really an X-er, just as the boomers who were just tiny kids during Vietnam and way too young to remember the JFK assassination, aren’t really boomers. The stragglers in each generation usually fit into the next a bit better. My boomer parents were born in ‘46 and sooooooo different than the kids that grew up barely before I did in a very different post-Vietnam world. I often think the generational splits should be looked at differently.

The Baby Boom 1946-1964. Accordingly, the term “Baby boom” was used to describe a block of time (1946-1964) where an extraordinary birth rate post WWII occurred; not returning to pre-War level until 1965 was observed in the United States. Consequently, or perhaps because of the passage of time since the phenomenon, there has been much ado over the naming as well as, what years comprise this or subsequent generations i.e., Gen X 1965-1980, or Millennials 1981-1996 . As a result, there has been a departure (by some) from the original reasoning behind the “Boomer“ descriptor. Seemingly, in an effort to reorganize the various generations according to subjective experiential and sociologically driven desire, to categorize and redefine cohort groups into something neater and tidier according to them. Fortunately, everyone has the right to their own opinion concerning these somewhat petty items. However, it could be argued that if it were not for the original Baby Boom observation and subsequent naming of that phenomenon, it is entirely likely that conversations concerning these matters would be very different, maybe even dry and inconsequential. www.statista.com/statistics/296974/us-population-share-by-generation/ www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/FT_19.01.17_generations_2019.png www.jchs.harvard.edu/blog/defining-the-generations

Hey, thank you very much. I have a BA in Film & Media Arts, but I've taken a wide variety of courses across disciplines and am generally a curious person. The channel is pretty much entirely created by me.

FutureNow Your media background is apparent. Your research and videos could probably earn you an MA in Sociology or Economic Sociology. It’s fascinating discussing or tracking cultural trends as they happen. I’ve shared your posts on my LinkedIn, don’t worry I don’t know anyone of social or economic power. But young adults, I know, are always looking for digestible info. Stay cynical.

This isn't the one, it's another version. It makes my skin crawl. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMl_q7d5zMC7g4E.html

Sort of a tangent on the Johnny Marr mention. And resenting the marketing .. I am Gen X, born 1970. One thing that is overlooked by most discussions of Gen X is the whole alternative music scene. They talk about grunge and that's about it. The record companies and radio had their pop music but there was a whole scene of music that ignored that. Alternative music had so many different genres sort of mixed up. Growing up on the Jersey Shore we had FM 106.3 a station in Eatontown maybe 30 miles south of Manhattan . There were a few other commercial stations around the country. And college stations. I felt like we were telling the mass marketers of music to "fuck off You can tell us what to like". I mean on alternative radio. There was everything from indigo girls and Tracy Chapman to new order to the reh hot chilies peppers to the pixies to yes even grunge like Nirvana, mudhony. A real variety of sounds and I know for me and my friends we liked all different kinds of stuff and we didn't buy in the hair bands . Then the marketers tried to make everything grunge and I think music went downhill

@@lobos320 everything you said. You said what I was trying to convey but didmt. DC/HC chica who lived and loved by 99.1 WHFS in the day. Until mid 90s they got to big and imploded. The music you listed was what we heard down here as well, and from 87 til maybe 93 the music was vast, welcoming, inclusive and very varied. It was fucking good. Cheers. Oh. I was born in 1970 as well, and being geographically close enough I imagine much of the music and moments were pretty similar. 😊♥️😊

@@barbarahallowell2613 my brother went to the Naval Academy in Annapolis and his first wife was from Davidsonville in Anne Arundel County so I spend some time in MD. I also drove thru Maryland many time in my college years between University of North Florida in Jacksonville and NJ. So I am familiar with WHFS . It was a Great station. Speaking of road trips my mom's side of the family is all in northern Florida and my dad's side was in NJ where I was born and raised . We made the 15-18 drive 2-3 times a year. Illustrates how those of us in Gen X span so many cultural changes. We I think are the last generation that remembers having to entertain ourselves. And having to wait for answers The only entertainment on long drives was listening to whatever mom and dad had on the radio and staring out the window at scenery. We had a childhood with only a couple channels on TV, ( until your parents decide to get cable). Saturday morning cartoons ended with Soul Traiin. Christmas specials came.on once a year you missed it too bad so sad.. wait wait til next year. And no binge watching. And if the president gave s speech or breaking news happened all the channels interrupted regular programming And the road trip meant that my brother and I slept on a pallet of blankets in the back of the Ford LTD wood panel wagon( with just Am radio, roll-down windows and no AC only fancy cars like Grandpa's Continental had better) while my parents split time driving overnight.. Seatbelts? Who needs em. By high school everyone was wearing seatbelts I recall my mom writing checks at the Acme or Shop Rite to have cash over the weekend. And for my it was a big deal to get a Sears credit card If your friend went on vacation no communication for 2 weeks.. and no pictures until a couple weeks after they got home after dropping film off at fotomat to be sent off for.developing. and hoping they came out. I feel like such an old.man telling my kids about how it used to be . But I think this is what make.iur generation unique.. we were ready for technology, we know it was coming and we were not afraid. We remember life before the technology but we wonder is it all really better? We have vague memories of how the USA was on top of the world after WW2 as children, only to be taken down by economic woes, military defeats and seeing the USA isn't always the good guy. We are sarcastic and cynical but we still are idealistic We know how entertain ourselves but we sure as hell appreciate Spotify , Pandora a and Netflix. Want to hear afternoon delight from 1976, just play it.. remember the Three's Company when.Jack and Janet thought Chrissy was a prostitute find it on KZfaq or Netflix or Amazon prime. All the stuff on Star Wars, Battle star Galactica and Star Trek is becoming available

What?Teamwork projects are very common in school,it's one the reasons I hated school

Thank you!

I don't feel as comfortable talking about generational division in other countries since I'm based out of the U.S.

@@FutureNow i see, you could give names as Examples

David Bergmann I literally stated that this is a US-focused video at the very beginning of the video.

Justin Bieber's

What generation is that?

millennial

After the boomers, I need to see them get shitted on.

This generation is the coolest as it's the generation that brought rock music to the front as well as other things in our society.

earlier half and later half.

dislike will be given.

Weird to give a dislike for presenting one of many many year ranges used to label generations. I am discussing the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory and these are their numbers.
