TL;DL zoomers vs millennials
I would like to draw your attention to the term “zoomer generation”. According to the Fourth Turning and 4 Generation Cycle theory creators and researchers, the zoomer cohort start in the year 2006. The researchers, Howe and Strauss, coined the term “millennial” to describe the cohort born 1982-2005. They came up with it. They are the OGs.
Why is this important distinction? In general, the cohorts are very descriptive and could be prescriptive in that they could know what to expect for this turning and work together to make the change that needs to happen, this includes #bitcoin.
Labeling people as zoomers when they are millennial misses the point. The millennials get handed a crisis and crumbling institutions in their 20s and 30s and they have to rebuild so that their children’s generation can grow up with functioning, cultural, economic and societal institutions and it’s going to be way better for them. The millennial generation has to come together and make this change.
If people feel younger, that’s fine, but the generational theory isn’t for letting people know how they feel about the generation it’s supposed to help people know where they are at in the cycle.
So it seems to me that you’ve had a grand total of zero zoomer’s on your podcast and I get it, what does somebody born in 1982 have to do with somebody born in 2005. Nothing, but that’s not the point. The point is that the generation that is handed the crisis in their 20s and 30s has to be the generation that puts it back together and puts the cycle back towards rebuilding a better tomorrow.
