Hey, thanks! I don't recall we used to agree on much, but it's nice we're on the same page about this.

The way I see it is pretty simple really, provided you don't fall into the trap of overambitious exactitude (certainly not saying I'm innocent in that department):

Xers: People born in the 60's and 70's (The Awakening)
Millennials: People born in the 80's and 90's (The Unraveling)
Zeders: People born in the 00's and 10's (The Crisis)

If anything, the start date of the Millennial generation and Generation Z would be slightly slanted to the previous decade, i.e beginning to be born in the late 70's and late 90's, respectively.

Vice versa. The crisis started in 2008. "Homelanders" is a bad name, because it refers to 9-11, when the Crisis DIDN'T start. Millennials 1982-2005 (it might be 2003) since the Awakening started in 1984. Zeders 2005-2025 (or a bit earlier)

Actually, S&H theory lays out different markers for the generations and the turnings, the latter of which occurs about 2-5 years after a new generation begins, according to the book.

Indeed, which would put the Homeland or Generation Z to start in about 1998, if 2001 is the start of the 4T.
