I see generation-related threads and posts on Reddit, PersonalityCafe, and Twitter and they are quite different from the generation definitions I see on here, which are more sociological/historical/political based.

Cultural Range
Cultural generations tend to be around 15-18 years in length and are more based on mainstream pop culture trends.

My cultural ranges for generations:
  • GI: 1910-1927
  • Silents: 1928-1945
  • Baby Boomers: 1946-1961
  • Gen X: 1962-1980
  • Millennials: 1981-1997
  • Gen Z: 1998-2014
  • "Gen Alpha": 2015+

Historical Range
Historical/cultural/sociological generations are longer in length and are generally 20-25 years in length. They are based on having four generations in 80-100 year saecula.

My historical ranges for generations:
  • GI: 1901-1924
  • Silents: 1925-1942
  • Baby Boomers: 1943-1960
  • Gen X: 1961-1981
  • Millennials/Civics: 1982-2002
  • Homelanders/New Artists: 2003-2021
  • Neo-Prophets: 2022+
