I'm a member of the Homeland Generation (2005). Ask me anything.

I learned about generations in.. 2017, ish? I've kept that basic stuff in the back of my mind until November of 2019 w̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶"̶o̶k̶ ̶b̶o̶o̶m̶e̶r̶"̶ ̶m̶e̶m̶e̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶l̶o̶d̶e̶d̶ and I got into generational theory. I'm a little over half-way done with reading The Fourth Turning, and I plan on getting Generations afterward. I really wanna see Niel Howe write "The First Turning" later this decade! 

Anyway, since then, I've been talking a LOT about generations online. Especially on Reddit. I might become a sociologist in the future, because these topics really peak my interest. Today I found out this place existed, and have spent a few hours on here reading these posts. They're seriously fascinating.

So yeah, ask me anything that's not seriously invading my privacy. I'll try my best to answer every question, but I only remember stuff from 2010 onwards. I really begin to remember stuff in 2016 and you all could probably guess why. I hope this thread is interesting or helpful!

Welcome Camz! I'm not sure if we have any Silents active but if we do that means 5 generations at once on this forum!

Here's a question for you - would you say you are close to your GenX parents? And do you interact regularly with any other generations? Any siblings?

Thanks for joining our little discussion group.
