Yes, that's exactly what we suspect they were doing.

There will be other traits associated with this generation - the large student debt bubble is bound to have some effect on them. There may be a trend away from having the majority of kids going to college at least the traditional way and then ending up with a debt that may take them a whole lifetime to pay off.

I took a sociology class when I was in college and we read a book about the Baby Boomer generation, it was quite interesting.

While I don't believe you can label someone completely be the year they were born, it is interesting to learn about shared experiences, changes in society etc.

Well I've heard and read that the next generation will be similar to the Silent generation of the 1930s. The Homelander generation is what they're called.
