I’ve been pretty skeptical of the Strauss-Howe generation theory stuff since I read their book back in the 90s, but I think there’s something to that aspect of it. I was born in 1980, which puts me in the youngest part of the “Thirteenth Generation” (or Gen X) according to them. My wife was born in 1984, an older Millennial. While we have a lot in common in our upbringing, the fact that I am just old enough to remember the tail end of the Cold War and she is not is a significant difference.
I’ve never heard of them
Interesting. I was born in 78 and my wife in 82 and the differences feel significant at times. Of course I grew up much, much faster than she did. :-)
