I'm going to take a stab here, but what are your thoughts on this one?
The Prophet/Nomad transition
1954: 100% Prophet
1955: 92% Prophet, 8% Nomad (the transition begins - they started elementary school after the birth control pill was introduced, spent most of their elementary school years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and graduated high school after the legalization of abortion)
1956: 84% Prophet, 16% Nomad
1957: 76% Prophet, 24% Nomad (probably the first somewhat cusp year, considering they graduated high school after the Vietnam War ended)
1958: 68% Prophet, 32% Nomad
1959: 60% Prophet, 40% Nomad
1960: 52% Prophet, 48% Nomad
1961: 44% Prophet, 56% Nomad (the first year leaning towards Nomad, as 1961 is a common starting point for Gen X)
1962: 36% Prophet, 64% Nomad
1963: 28% Prophet, 72% Nomad
1964: 20% Prophet, 80% Nomad (probably the last somewhat cusp year, considering they were born before the decline in birth rates in 1965)
1965: 12% Prophet, 88% Nomad
1966: 4% Prophet, 96% Nomad (the transition ends - they were the last to vote in the Reagan vs Mondale election)
1967: 100% Nomad
The Nomad/Hero Transition
1975: 100% Nomad
1976: 92% Nomad, 8% Hero (the transition begins - they started elementary school after the Reagan v. Carter election, started high school after the Berlin Wall fell, and graduated high school after Kurt Cobain committed suicide)
1977: 84% Nomad, 16% Hero
1978: 76% Nomad, 24% Hero (the first somewhat cusp year, considering that they spent most of their elementary school years after the Challenger explosion, started high school after Nirvana released Nevermind, and graduated high school after Windows 95 was released)
1979: 68% Nomad, 32% Hero
1980: 60% Nomad, 40% Hero
1981: 52% Nomad, 48% Hero
1982: 44% Nomad, 56% Hero (the first year leaning towards Hero - they graduated high school in a year that begins with a 2)
1983: 36% Nomad, 64% Hero
1984: 28% Nomad, 72% Hero
1985: 20% Nomad, 80% Hero (the last somewhat cusp year, considering they entered high school before Y2K and were the last to be born before stereotypical Millennial celebrities, such as Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan, were born)
1986: 12% Nomad, 88% Hero
1987: 4% Nomad, 96% Hero (the transition ends - they were the last to enter elementary school before the Bush v. Clinton election and were the last to be at middle school at the time the Columbine shooting took place)
1988: 100% Hero
The Hero/Artist transition
1996: 100% Hero
1997: 92% Hero, 8% Artist (the transition begins - they weren't at school yet when 9/11 took place, were still in elementary school when the iPhone was released, and graduated high school after Gamergate)
1998: 84% Hero, 16% Artist
1999: 76% Hero, 24% Artist (probably the first somewhat cusp year, considering they started high school after electropop fizzled out and graduated high school after Trump's victory)
2000: 68% Hero, 32% Artist
2001: 60% Hero, 40% Artist
2002: 52% Hero, 48% Artist
2003: 44% Hero, 56% Artist (the first year leaning towards Homelander, as they were the first to be born after the establishment of Homeland Security. Not to mention that Greta Thunberg was born in this year)
2004: 36% Hero, 64% Artist
2005: 28% Hero, 72% Artist
2006: 20% Hero, 80% Artist (probably the last somewhat cusp year, considering there are some sources that stretch the Millennial definition to 2006 and that they were no longer elementary school when the Parkland shooting took place)
2007: 12% Hero, 88% Artist
2008: 4% Hero, 96% Artist (the transition ends - they were no longer at elementary school when Trump was impeached and when the coronavirus scare began in the US)
2009: 100% Artist
This also seems to coincide with the "one saeculum equals one Uranus cycle or 84 years" rule mentioned by some users on this website.
I actually think this is more clean than mine. Especially since you gave some facts about some birth years. And it probably does make sense for 2008 to be the last birth year with any Hero traits because they were the last born before the 2008 Crisis. 2009 would be the first 100% Artists, right before entering the 2010s.
Just guessing, you would probably have Core Prophets end in 1954 (it would probably start in 1946 or 1947).
1955-1966 are the Prophet/Nomad transition
1967-1975 are Core Nomads
1976-1987 are the Nomad/Hero transition
1988-1996 are Core Heroes
1997-2008 are the Hero/Artist transition
2009-? are Core Artists
Prophets in the Millennial Saeculum - b. 1960 and before
Nomads in the Millennial Saeculum - b. 1961-1981
Heroes in the Millennial Saeculum- b. 1982-2002
Artists in the Millennial Saeculum- b. 2003-202x
Do you agree with the transitions, or was it
just an interesting generation discussion?
I agree with the periods you described. What are your thoughts on this cusp chart?
Prophet/Nomad cusp: 1959-1962 (the new voters in the Reagan v. Carter election)
1959 and 1960 lean Prophet because they were already in high school during the end of the Watergate scandal.
1961 and 1962 lean Nomad because they weren't in high school yet during the end of the Watergate scandal.
Nomad/Hero cusp: 1980-1983 (high schoolers during the rise of Y2K-era trends and college students when 9/11 took place)
1980 and 1981 lean Nomad because they graduated high school before Y2K.
1982 and 1983 lean Hero because they graduated high school after Y2K (this is why they are seen as "Millennials").
Hero/Artist cusp: 2001-2004 (high schoolers during the Notre Dame fires and when people like Billie Eilish started to become more popular)
2001 and 2002 lean Hero because they entered elementary school before the Recession, will graduate high school before this election, and were born before the establishment of Homeland Security.
2003 and 2004 lean Artist because they entered elementary school after the Recession, will graduated high school after this election, and were born after the establishment of Homeland Security (this is why they are seen as "Homelanders").
