According to S&H's dates:
The oldest Silents (1925) were 21 when their 1T started
The oldest Boomers (1945) were 19 when their 2T started.
The oldest Xers (1961) were 23 when their 3T started.
But the oldest Millennials (1982) were 26 when their 4T started. Same for GIs. The oldest GIs were 28 in 1929. Shouldn't both generation start later? Or does it have something to do with nature of the Civic archetype or the 4T?
I think all, or at least most, of the generational dates and turning dates need to be taken with a grain of salt. It's all really fluid.
According to S&H:
The Silent Gen is 1925-1942
-Biden and Bernie are clearly Grey Champions. This only really works if all of these dates are off by five years or so.
The Boomers are 1943-1960
-People turning 60 today don't seem like core Boomers at all. Those folks would have turned 22, graduating college, in 1982, and are supposed to be Boomers?
The Xers are 1961-1981
-I don't see how 76-81 is Xer. That group never had the same milestones as Xers and has much more in common with Millenials
The Millenials are 1982-2004
-1982 feels late to me, and 20014 is definitely not Millenial
The Zoomers are from 2005
-1998 or thereabouts IMO
