Generational identification (a call to hold the line!)

The Greatest Generation or GI Generation: Born 1901 – 1924
Who is Gen GI? This generation survived the Great Depression and then went off to fight in WWII. Notably, they popularized jazz and swing music but don’t be fooled by the wild provocations of the music of the times.
Who are GI parents? For GI Generation parents who lived through the Great Depression, raising a family put a premium on traits like hard work and grit.

The Silent Generation: Born 1925 – 1942
Who are the Silent? They famously got their name for being so conformist that they were silent through the MacCarthy era when the fear of Communism swept the country.
Who are the Silent parents? The parenting style of the day was similar to that of their parents; kids were expected to earn their way through life using a strong work ethic.

Baby Boom Generation: Born 1943 – 1964
Who are Boomers? Gen Z may think of Baby Boomers as their out of touch grandparents (“Ok, Boomer”,) but they had a wild youth we often don’t talk about. Boomers are so named after their parents came home from WWII and the American population exploded. Baby Boomers defied their parents, protested the Vietnam War, and created the "Summer of Love".
Who are Boomer parents? Boomer parents notably redefined parenting by being the first generation to look at their kids’ perspective of growing up, and they started the concept of having family meetings.

Generation X: Born 1965 – 1979
Who are Gen Xers? So often dismissed as the slacker generation, Generation X lived through the AIDS epidemic, MTV culture, and a shifting cultural landscape that would give rise to LGBTQ+ rights.
Who are Gen X parents? Generation X parents were famously the first use helicopter parenting styles. Unlike their Boomer parents who famously let their kids stay outside until the streetlights came on, Generation X parents have a tendency to be far more involved with their children’s social and educational development.

Millennial Generation: Born 1980 – 2000
Who are Millennials? Millennials lived through 9/11 and a worldwide fight against terrorism that continues to this day. They are also the first generation to know a childhood with the Internet, which currently plays a significant role in their personal lives. While Boomers may accuse Millennials of being self-centered and entitled due to their excessive use of technology, this generation has proven to actually be incredibly community oriented and environmentally conscious, which are traits that are being picked up by their children in the next generation.
Who are Millennial parents (or parennials)? “Millennial parents are doing lots of things well, and arguably better than prior generations. They’re open-minded. They’re raising their kids in diverse family forms,” says Carr. “They are more likely than prior generations to allow their children to freely express who they are, and are leading the movement in helping gender non-conforming kids to be happy with who they are. Some Millennial parents, who were 'helicoptered over' in their youth, are taking on a freer approach to parenting, allowing their children to explore and create without constant structure or supervision.”

Generation Z or iGen: Born 2001 – 2013
Who is Gen Z? While still youngsters and not old enough to have made their mark as a generation, Generation Z kids are the first to be born into a world where they know nothing else besides being constantly connected to one another, albeit through phones, screens, and tablets.

Rather than allowing an article that talks about generational trends to define me, I choose to live my life by Biblical mandates...I am aware that many misguided individuals are playing god and telling there children if you identify as a girl then you must be a girl (regardless the fact that GOD gave you a penis) Intellectual morons that teach that everybody in society has a mental illness if they disagree with cross dressers.

And I know that there are men and women that feel the same way, to thoes people I say stand up, be strong, and encourage yourself with the unchanging Truth that are found in GOD's WORD!
