Are early even decade cohorts usually cusps of two generations?

If "not remembering the 2T" is the criterion, then the start date is 1977, since they won't remember the times before Reagan and Thatcher. The essence of the 3T was market liberalism and it started with these elections. But if the criterion is "coming of age during the 4T", then the correct date is 1986 or even 88. A good compromise is to classify all people born between 1977-1985 as Xennials, which are a hybrid type. They were raised as Civics but acquired some Nomad traits, having some adult experience of the 3T.

First, neither Reagan nor Thatcher flipped their countries to the right immediately. It was a process that seemed to coalesce in the 1983+/- time frame. Prior to that, the political discussion was still actively left v right. After that, it was right v far right.

Was Y2K hype or a successful proactive intervention? Almost all of the antiquated H/W and S/W that used two-digit dating for years was eliminated before the trigger date. How do you know that this wasn't more akin to vaccinations before the epidemic arrived?
