Why don’t Gens/turnings overlay?

I actually don’t think they argue that (though their dates prob argue it ) but I keep seeing it .

Artists are the children born in the 4th turning , that should be a direct overlay by its description .

Because generations are not numbers. This is history, not math. A person's generation is determined by their lived experiences and memories, and how those shape them as a person. The years are simply estimates. The last Millennials, for example, are the last people who are old enough to remember the 2008 economic crisis, and/or the last people to finish high school before the year of online learning (not the three months of it in early 2020, the full year in 2020-2021). So that makes 2002 the best-fitting year for the last Millennial cohort, but there are always edge cases to every generational divide. There are undoubtedly Millennials born in 2004 and Homelanders born in 1999. History, not math.
2001, a very artistic hero and/or a very heroic artist
