We all have our quirks. And collectively, we each have something strange about our generation. Rooted in our childhoods and the times in which we were brought up, we have developed weirdness in our cohorts. Here are, by my estimation, the weirdest things about each living generation. Silent Generation: Weirdly Frugal Silents grew up during the Great Depression or shortly after and they learned from experience and through their parents that the ultimate sin is waste.

There are a couple of things to remember about Gen Alpha as we proceed on this journey into their minds and mouths. First of all, they’re like, ten years old.

Hey, check this out – we Gen X’ers are getting older all the time, every year it seems! And as per the yuge, we get increasingly out of touch with the younger generations. In particular, their slang. Here is an actual quote via text from my middle child – who is actually Gen Z, but still young and hip to the freshest lingo. “That’s so skibidi of you. Gonna fanum tax my rizz jargon?

Generational Stereotypes Chart

From the Lost Generation to Generation Alpha, every generational cohort has its stereotypical qualities. Comparing Generations Stereotypes are imperfect but sometimes useful. They can be used to make predictions or assumptions about large groups of people, but often fail when evaluating an individual. Generational studies look at those born within the same general timeframe, having lived through the same major childhood events and nationwide economic flux. When these events occur at similar times of developmental or career stages, they can have a widespread effect on the group. Individuals within a… Read More »Generational Stereotypes Chart

The U.S. Presidents by Their Generational Cohort

If you’re looking for a list of U.S. Presidents with their associated generation, look no further! I could not find a list myself, so I created one. I have taken many of the generation names and dates from Strauss-Howe Generational Theory. Where Strauss-Howe and common names conflicted, I used common names. (For example, Strauss-Howe refers to Generation Z as The Homeland Generation).

The Mystery Cohort and the Case of the Haunted Forest

Jinkies! Boomer, Jennex, and GenZee solve the mystery of the Poltertree “Okay, Boomer, whatever you say.” Jennex followed Boomer and GenZee into the Fireplace Bar and Grille. The three settled into a booth near the door. The hostess brought two waters and two menus. “Ahem.” Jennex cleared her throat loudly. The hostess jumped. “Oh!

She’ll be right with you.” Boomer continued his rant. “I’m simply saying that it helps to have… Read More »The Mystery Cohort and the Case of the Haunted Forest

Generation Z is likely to influence innovation. And I mean a big BOOM of innovation.

Yes, that Gen Z. Pajama-bottom-wearin’, “bruh”-sayin’, heads-in-their-phones Generation Z. They are primed to usher in a new era of innovation. And I mean, like, telephone-, electricity-, printing press- level innovation. History will know them as The Genius Generation. Think I’m crazy? Are you LOLing?  Hear me out. Generation Z are gamers and digital processors. They are constantly solving problems and reviewing information. They are self-taught, preferring to learn on their own, supplemented by the education system. They have access to unlimited information.
