Generation Labels, Lifestyles, and Personalities

Generation labels have been assigned to cohorts based on birth date spans. Supposedly, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Y (AKA millennials), and Z have specific lifestyles and personalities assigned to each. You can go back further to post-war and WWII but the more recent cohorts are discussed most often. Perhaps because those born in the earlier categories don’t care much for or rely on social media, the major source of the comparisons. Thanks to social media, generational warfare is becoming a thing where members of one cohort ridicule or generalize (negatively) another.

What are the Generational Cohorts?

research provided me with this chart:

generation cohorts

Notice that the Boomers have two groups because the span of years is so large. Also, note that this cohort chart ends with those born in 2012. The most recent generation cohort has since been labeled with Alpha, spanning the years between 2012 and 2025.
