I was bored!
Does anyone ever wonder what generation they belong to?
I was born in 76 and I'm lucky I guess, because I'm part of almost 10 generations: (Here are my so called generations) Gen X (1965-80), Gen Y (1976-2001, 1977-1994, 1974-1990,1982-1996, gen y has 1million different start and end dates), Mtv Gen (1975-86), Generation Doom (76-81), Boomlet :> (76-81), Netter or PC'r I forgot, Nomad, &Hero.
Here's an article I found.
Preface
Todayâs item on the morning radio show: âThe new generation is set, itâs called N, and starts from 1998″. So I thought: âNice⦠the last thing I read were things about âGen Yâ, where I didnât even get who that exactly were. Curious as I am; google to the rescue! So here are my findings⦠Apparently there are some discussions about naming conventions and date ranges, but Iâm going to keep the most commonly used definitions for this one.
In Short
1925-1945 : Silent Generation
1946-1964 : Baby Boomers
1965-1980 : Generation X
1976-2001 : Generation Y
1998-***** : New Silent Generation
As you can see there is some overlap between them. There are even sub & transition generations when reading thru the material. But I tried to keep it summarized to the terms you see most often.
So who cares?
Something I often wondered was; âWho the **** cares?â Well apparently each generation comes with itâs own manual, as they were raised in a different culture. This is something that was to be expected, but there are theories about it. Each generation has itâs âArchtypeâ.
A generation is composed of people whose common location in history lends them a collective persona. The span of one generation is roughly the length of a phase of life. Generations come in four archetypes, always in the same order, whose phase-of-life positions comprise a constellation.
The Prophet archetype is born in a High, enters young adulthood in an Awakening, midlife in an Unraveling, and elderhood in a Crisis.
The Nomad archetype is born in an Awakening, enters young adulthood in an Unraveling, midlife in a Crisis, and elderhood in a High.
The Hero archetype is born in an Unraveling, enters young adulthood in a Crisis, midlife in a High, and elderhood in an Awakening.
The Artist archetype is born in a Crisis, enters young adulthood in a High, midlife in an Awakening, and elderhood in an Unraveling.
