Generations and Microgenerations: Their Changing Values and Focus

As I read and write about different generations and the microgenerations that span across them, there is something I have come to notice: Their values and focus shift as a group. When I made a chart about generational stereotypes, which you can check out here and here, I saw that each generation possessed a different ‘orientation’. Baby Boomers are community-oriented. Millennials are relationship-oriented. And Zillennials are culture-oriented. I started to wonder how one generation morphs into the next, taking a slowly passing generational life focus, adding current events, trends, and… Read More »Generations and Microgenerations: Their Changing Values and Focus

Micro-Generations Stereotypes Chart

Micro-Gens, You Say? Oftentimes, those of us born on the cusp of a generational range don’t align well with the stereotypes of that generation. For example, a Gen Xer born in 1979 might find they have some traits in common with Gen X, but also display many traits associated with Millennials. This realization has led to the acknowledgement of micro-generations that span the tails of the generational bell curves. These groups, then, have their own traits more in common with each other than with the macro-generations that come before or… Read More »Micro-Generations Stereotypes Chart

U.S. Governors (2026) by Generation

So, what do you think? In the year 2026, do we have more Baby Boomer Governors in the U.S., or more Generation X Governors? The answer might surprise you! Here is a list of all the Governors, as of early 2026, and the generation to which they belong. Statistics Silent Generation: 1 Baby Boomer: 24 Generation X: 24 Millennial: 1 Presumably, as time goes on, we will decrease the number of Baby Boomer Governors and increase the Generation X count. Do you have any predictions? How many Millennial Governors will… Read More »U.S. Governors (2026) by Generation

119th U.S. Congress – House of Representatives – Generational Makeup

The 2025-26 U.S. House of Representatives has 435 members. Are there more Baby Boomers or Generation X? How many Gen Z members are there? Are there still Silent Generation members? All your questions can be answered here! Does it matter? Truthfully, I’m not sure. But understanding how this body is constructed, correlated with how it functions, can’t be entirely useless information. I won’t draw my own conclusions here, but drop a comment if you’ve drawn any from this data. And the table is interactive, so play with the sorting arrows… Read More »119th U.S. Congress – House of Representatives – Generational Makeup

119th U.S. Congress – Senate – Generational Makeup

Do the Baby Boomers still dominate the U.S. Senate, or Generation X? Have you ever wondered what the generational makeup of the Senate is? Are you curious about how many members of Gen Z are Senators? Well, the answer to that one is zero, because the age limit for the Senate is 30, and Gen Z is not quite old enough in 2026. Here, find a list of each Senate member, their birth year, and corresponding generation. And don’t forget to check back next year for a breakdown of the… Read More »119th U.S. Congress – Senate – Generational Makeup

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ (Unintentionally) Proves Gen X and Gen Z are Kindred Spirits

Right off the bat, before I forget, this post will contain spoilers. It is intended for people who have seen the film franchise and are interested in a generationally specific analysis. I have made the argument that the original 1988 Beetlejuice movie is the most Gen X movie ever. If you haven’t seen that post already, you can check it out here. Forgive me, but I have something of a love affair with this franchise, and I just never run out of things to say about it. Ever since I… Read More »‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ (Unintentionally) Proves Gen X and Gen Z are Kindred Spirits

Hank, Peggy and Bobby Hill of King of the Hill from Season 14

The King of the Hill Reboot Has a Generation Problem

I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t be more ecstatic about a new season of King of the Hill. And I love it. But I see a big old elephant in this room that needs to be discussed. The issue is generational, and I would like some answers. Now, I’m not talking about the strange timelines and aging discrepancies. At least not entirely. Animation time is a weird animal. For example, at some point during Season 13, Hank mentions that he has lived next door to Kahn for 7… Read More »The King of the Hill Reboot Has a Generation Problem

U.S. Supreme Court Justices by Their Generation – A List

Are you curious about which generation each U.S. Supreme Court Justice belongs to? Does the generation they were raised up in affect their views and the judicial movement of the country?

You’ll have to answer these questions yourself, but to help you think on it, here’s a list of each Supreme Court Justice and the generation they were born into.

The Weirdest Thing About Each Generation

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. As a result, Silents purchase little and reuse what they can. They are sometimes… Read More »The Weirdest Thing About Each Generation

Generation Alpha Slang – A Guide For the Rest of Us. 30 Common Terms

And I oop! Gen Alpha slang is straight from Ohio. Let’s break down how to use and interpret these 30 common terms and phrases. 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. Well, officially – and this is subject to change – they were born on or after 2010, so they are approximately 14 years old and younger at the time of this writing.
