How This Works
Generation boundaries vary by researcher and source — these use the widely-cited Pew Research Center definitions for Millennials (1981–1996) and Gen Z (1997–2012), with other generations using common academic consensus. Boundaries are not precise — those born in the 2–3 years on either side of a boundary are sometimes called "cuspers" who share traits of both adjacent generations.
Generational theory is a useful lens for understanding broad cultural trends but has real limitations. Generational characteristics are averages that mask enormous individual variation. A person's generation correlates with economic conditions, technology, and historical events of their formative years — but class, nationality, race, geography, and family background are equally or more important. Use generations as a starting point for understanding shared context, not as personality labels.
