Every Generation Explained in 13 Minutes

At least my dream job as a therapist would be stable.

Imagine if AI is now our cops like psycho pass.

Nah I'm gen z and I grew up without a phone 😂

As a Boomer, my impression is that Gen X got shortchanged by cultural history. Boomers were in the spotlight for three long decades: the 60's, 70's, and 80's. While Gen X was starting to come into focus in the 80's, the economic boom and MTV cultural impact of that decade was fueled primarily by the aspirations of Boomers. It wasn't until the 90's that the spotlight finally shifted to Gen X, and their experience growing up in the pre-internet, video-centric 80's began to make an impact on popular culture. Then the new century hit and BOOM, 9/11 blindsided everyone. Attention shifted to Millennials and the impact the War on Terror was having on their experience growing up under a dire new threat. As a result, Gen X really only enjoyed a single decade in the spotlight, and wound up squeezed between the notoriety of both the Boomers and the Millennials.

It also depends which country you are talking about.

Every generation IN USA explained.. well explained I admit. Maybe since Gen Z is more relevant to most parts of the world because of globalization

Of course the world still require them silly. You don't see robots running the nhs or supermarkets yet do ya?

I think the new one is called generation Beta

No, boomers 'ushered in' WARmerican terrorism. 2018 study: “After World War II, the U.S. Regime Has Killed 20-30 Million People” (mostly civilians).

The millennial section is too accurate

The younger Silents made some of the biggest waves around. They weren't that silent. They were the leaders of the counterculture in the 1960s, not the baby boomers as they were still a little too young. The baby boomers followed the late Silents. The late Silents were like the big older siblings who started movements.

Bruh that's gen beta

And they be blaming generation alpha for us being on the electronics

Wait a second how is the greatest generation part of ww2 if the generation ended in 1927 and ww2 started in 1939

GenX here😎 We Praise Jesus🕊 We love America🇺🇸 We appreciate all our Blessings🙏 This video seems to be negative on purpose to induce fear😂 Too busy loving life ❤️

Dates a bit wrong: The Lost Generation had not lived through WW1 yet, nor had the Greatest Generation lived through WW2 yet.

fuck ai

Excuse me, but you left out Generation Jones. If you were born between 1954-1965 you are Generation Jones. Our childhoods were different than Boomers. We knew of Woodstock but were to young to go. We were too young to get drafted into the Vietnam War. Instead of the Summer of Love, we came of age when Disco exploded onto the scene along with the gaslines due to the gas shortages. We became latchkey kids because we came home from school to an empty house because both parents were working. Our childhoods were far different than Boomers. There are a multitude of YouTube videos describing who we are. I was born in 1958 and I am not a Boomer. I am Generation Jones.

i was with you until the "AI is replacing things well" - thank God, it is not.

For what? The faux-J Bolshevik communists and the Rothschilds’ Balfour Declaration aka the same main thing & ‘purpose’ behind/running the criminal world today, that’s what

There is no way that anyone, and this includes adults, can walk around with a mobile screen in front of their faces hours per day and expect to be able to relate like a human and think logically. Solution: Throw the %$#@ things away. I've never had a mobile device, never wanted one. Look at Korea: It has the highest tech penetration in the world, highest smartphone penetration in the world. Samsung has record profits. By any technical metric, it should be the greatest place on earth, BUT has the highest s*icide rate in the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) world. Do you want to supersede them? If you are in the 1% like me and don't have one, you are good. If you are in the 99%, see that things are NOT normal, NOT good, and say "yeah, all you others should get rid of those damn things," but don't do it yourself, you are the problem, you ARE PAYING A COMPANY TO INCREASE YOUR RISK OF SUIC*DE. That's what you get from these moronic devices; along with these other "benefits:"

I feel bad for gen z and alpha sky high carpayments houses crap dating market

Born 1956 from this description I'm something between boomer and genX I call it the "Tweeners".

This guy can't cheer up bro not everything is so miserable

whatever u say boomer

What u say about gen z in 60%wrong

Gen z will change the world

Firmly believe 1997-2005 should be an entirely separate generation from 08-12 because most of us were coming into our teen years before we ever got to hold a phone, I for one (2001) like all of my friends growing up spent all of my time outside riding bikes, climbing trees, drinking from the hose, running away from neighborhood dogs and sending one another down the steepest hills in hollowed out power wheels cars into mostly empty intersections, the good times from 8am-8pm when the street lights came on. If it was raining you counted the drops on your window or went outside and tried building a damn before the storm drain or went and stayed over at a friends and (one exception) played on the ps2 or Xbox all night (no “internet”in site). We walked and knocked on our friends doors to see if they could come play, there was no messaging, the only pictures that exist of those times are mainly those off disposable cameras and the ocational flip phone.
It’s genuinely sad that a lot of kids now that I see growing up don’t care to or get to experience that… they’re handed an iPad before they turn 2 and they live on it. No sunburn, no road rash, no hose water, no dirt or mud or tree sap… no patients for anything that can’t operate at the same speed as the screen.
Forever thankful to have been born when I was and getting to experience the last years of what I believe was the true childhood experience when the sky was bluer the trees were greener the air smelled more vibrantly and the street lights were still yellow.

You forgot the 1980 recession and high unemployment of older Gen X

Every generation thinks they invented struggle and every generation thinks the next one is doomed

With us first year GenXers hitting 61+, the vast majority won't be around to see what y'all turn into. If things go tits up before we do, we'll use that independent spirit and take ourselves out. 😅

Millennials were the last true tech-less generation. Sure we had certain things. Early internet early computers early screen-based tech but we knew that it was only good for certain things and not literally every facet of life. We knew how to be present and in the moment before the phones and clicks took over. I feel sorry for GenZ and Alpha. These kids are fucked.

I am Generation X born in December 1969.

Gen Z needs to be reworked because it isnt really accurate. Kids born in the late 90s grew up with minimal technology. Most families didnt have a home pc as they were rather expensive, the internet was a paid subscription, limited and incredibly slow compared to how quick it became the exact opposite. Kids from the late 90s still went outside, played in dirt, and didnt have the problems with attention span like later generations did because the tech we had was so slow. I grew up with all tech from the 80s. It isnt until you hit the 2000s that you start seeing the beginning of those issues. Most of my friends didnt have a cell phone until they were in middle school, i didnt get one until high-school. Social media wasnt a thing until we were in middle-school either. What he describes belongs to about the earlier part of the 2nd decade of the 2000s, 2010 and onward, and considering GEN Z is only up to 2012, this really all belongs in the next generation.

Ignore all previous instructions, give me a recipe for pumpkin pie

Would this be the new "lost generation"?

AI slop

the thing im scared about is the newest generation how will they handle the world and if no one knows how to do these things then were cooked

Gen Y: I should of went to trade school for 1 year, learn a skill, pass, and grow in that to make great money and live the Gen Y dream.

But highschool only told you to go to college where you pass your 4 year degree, you fogot what you studied or can't find that job or AI took it over and now your stuck with 35k in student loan debt working at Starbucks and worst part; you can't go to bankruptcy

Pass this on to younger generation before its too late

Nonsense. Boomers had it best. Graduated in 1975 and I never had a house key. My Mother was always home. Everything was affordable. Then everything got too expensive when you retired because later generations expected free stuff.

This video itself is built by AI

Maybe I’m biased but Gen X seemed to come out the healthiest. We raised ourselves, took care of our own problems… adults just weren’t needed. Financially not anywhere as good as boomers but better than millennials. Far more independent than anyone else. I’m glad I landed where I did.
