If gen Z really starts in 1995, a new turning would have to begin in 1998-9, and I don't see it makes sense. Even 9/11 did not make that much of an influence on people's daily life, as the social media revolution and financial crisis of late 2000s.
I agree that this dividing line is arbitrary, but it fits the general assumption that generations are shorter than the S&H generations we use. The sorting criteria are different, so the results are different too. What I find missing is the difference in character that should accompany the generational change.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
