Not the prettiest graph, but a neat way of putting all this information into one image.

For sure the whole thing is much more fuzzy than this, with “in between” generations, like Jones gen and xennials being quite real. Plus all of the other factors that make up a society.

One big piece missing here though are the relative sizes of the generations, which is part of my interest. Boomer and Millennial bring the biggest, which colors the implications.

xennials

Ah, I was trying to remember what the term for that micro-gen was (I didn't think it was xennial but it probably makes sense than the one I forgot).
