From the mid-50s on especially, with the beatniks and rock'n'roll. But can that small minority trend be considered a generational trait?
No, but producing such a minority seems to be a trait of Artistic generation. I've recently discovered Evelyn de Morgan, a Progressive gen painter, and she was definitely be a proto-Missionary.

Her fascination by the Indo-European religion is more a throwback to the Romantic era, though. I have the sexy Driad on my wallpaper
Quote:By iGen, iirc, you mean Gen Z. I think the Millennials are already iGen enough, even though they weren't born into the world of iphones and social media. Artist Generations when they come of age are not tech oriented, but people oriented, so the name iGen will not fit them later on. Civics are tech oriented. Of course, you could say the name "Silent" didn't fit them in mid-life, at least. But it did in youth.
OK, I'll abandon the name iGen, and start calling them New Silent generation (sounds better than New Progressives IMHO, although they are more like the Progressives, because of the dionysian-apollonian rhythm)
