Millennial/Homeland Cusp - RELFantastic - 08-23-2020
I like to define generations historically, culturally, and both. For my mixed definition, it’s the one I posted earlier based on my overall research. But for my historic definition, the Millennial/Homeland cusp is between 1997-2003, with the Millennials being 1982-2000, and Homelanders being 2001-2019.
2020 is a world changing year, an impeachment, an economy crash, a pandemic, riots, and finally a possible historic election. I believe we are living in another turning since 2014, right when Gamergate, Ferguson, and ISIS were happening, which all possibly lead to the Trump Era, with this turning most likely ending in 2021 as that could be the year the Trump Era and COVID-19 Pandemic will end.
Political Crisis Turning
The Class of 2015 came of age after Gamergate, which lead to the political division of today, Ferguson, and the rise of ISIS.
The Class of 2016 came of age after the legalization of gay marriage, and after the 2016 campaigns began.
The Class of 2017 came of age after Brexit, which arguably lead to Trump winning the 2016 election.
The Class of 2018 came of age after Charlottesville, Me Too, Parkland, and after the US-China Trade War began.
This is where the cutoff would be made, as the Class of 18 graduated closer to Trump’s inauguration, and Class of 19 graduated closer to COVID-19.
The Class of 2019 came of age after the release of the Mueller Report.
The Class of 2020 came of age after Trump’s impeachment, Climate Strikes, and after the COVID-19 pandemic and recession began, in the world changing year of 2020.
The Class of 2021 came of age after the George Floyd Protests, the upcoming 2020 election, and could possibly graduate before the pandemic ends.
Another thing about 1997-2003 is that they all entered school after 9/11, but before Obama got elected and the Great Recession ended.
Overall, this could make the Millennial generation 1982-2000, with the Homeland Generation being 2001-2019.

Was there any type of poll done to compare this to 2016?

Powerful evidence that the Millennial and post-Millennial generations are anti-Trump... and that the politics of late-wave Millennial and early-wave post-Millennial youth will be hostile to the GOP as it now exists. (Of course, the GOP could change its ways -- but cultural patterns and political attitudes rarely change over people's lives.
