Pretty sure silent generation was named by Nixon and was his political campaign tactic in 1968.
I can agree with igen being limited by its name being related to a product, but the "i" seems likely to hold up over time as related to mobile technology and social media in its own right.
Any other suggestions then? Homeland and new adaptive just make no sense.
The Silent Generation was named in the 1950s. Nixon's Silent Majority referred to those who didn't protest in the sixties, regardless of generation. By then, many Silents were no longer so silent, but led social movements.
I agree with Gabrielle that the name that will stick for GenZ will come along when they are young adults and teens. The letters may stick too as alternative generic names. I already propose Alpha-Wave Pioneers or Green Pioneers for the next prophets.
