We are almost at the halfway mark for this 4T, assuming we began in 2008.
As of 2016...
-almost all the GIs are gone, a few remain
-silents are dying out. They are financially well off it seems. Polite, humble but I did find them hypocritical. They were the kinds of people to sweep things under the rug. I'm sad to see the Silent generation die out though. I liked them a lot. I miss my silent grandparents.
-Boomers are entering their 60s but are not retiring like previous 60 year olds were. They seem much younger personality wise compared to the Silents but a lot of boomers are very obnoxious and entitled, worse than the Millennials. These are peak times for the Boomers and I think whoever becomes president next will do some pretty powerful things as a last minute resort before the Boomers are out of the picture. There will be a more emphasis on healthcare and coverage as the Boomers will need things to take care of their bodies as they age (hearing aids, glasses, canes, wheelchairs, medication), the Boomers born in the 1950s will also be a force in legalizing medical marijuana in the 2020s. I think the boomers will try to deny death as long as they can and when it inevitably comes, they'll take a very spiritual route about it.
-X generation are entering the mid fifities now. I remember when the Xers were the 20 and 30 somethings back in the 1990s. Many of them are becoming grandparents and they do make very protective parents. Xers can be very negative and immature at times but they're very independent and take a no nonsense attitude towards a lot of things. They've had a harsh life and wore themselves out early. I'm starting to notice that Xers are increasingly acting old and exhausted. Xers seem to move around a lot, the ones I know of moved repeatedly in their adult lives. Most of them also have had somewhat estranged relationships with their parents it seems. Xers sure do like to rebel though and be "bad".
-Millennails... oh lord, they're finally growing up it seems. The core Millennials born in the early 90s are coming of age now. "Adulting" has become a popular new slogan. Millennals in general certainly are more team oriented and upbeat compared to the Xers but I tbink many Millennial men born in the 80s carry Xer traits. The youngest of the Millies are in the 6th grade now and within 6 years, they'll all be in rising adulthood. After this, the eldest Millennials will be nearing their 40s and start to bring about their civic traits now that they have more control over society. A war is likely to occur in the early 2020s but the economy will boom.
-Homelanders- they're coming of age with hardly any news spoken of them and are now being raised under heavy protection. Their cohort since 2007 have been getting smaller which ties in that artists tend to be smaller in size. But it does seem that this generation will be more ethnic but less immigrant.
