I got the pepperland reference. I get most of the references that Eric gets, and he's in at least the middle of the boomer cohort, rather than trailing edge.
I think the relevant cultural movements are a characteristic of the awakening; they aren't necessarily brought to full fruition in the crisis. Was England in the 1040s pining for Norman rule? I don't think that's how it works.
I think the grey champion concept is an after the fact romanticization - notice how the original one was anonymous - so talking about it as if it necessarily fits the leader at the peak of the crisis is questionable.
Still interested in your thoughts on who the elites are. Presumably that's not going to change between now and 10 years from now if they aren't taken down in the meantime.
