Baby Boomer: 1946-1964 Gen X: 1965-1980 Millennial: 1981-1996 Gen Z: 1997-2012 Find your generation and answer the question associated with it in the comments below. No looking up the answer! Gen Z: What is the show that featured Archie Bunker as the outspoken head of the household? Millennials: What is the show that followed an eclectic group of twenty-somethings working at a magazine in New York City, blending comedy and drama in the late 1980s and early 1990s? Gen X: What is the show that follows two rival groups of teens, the Pogues and the Kooks, in a coastal town called the Outer Banks? Baby Boomers: What is the show that centers on Ted Mosby telling his kids the story of how he met their mother?

“This has been for the most part a selfish and spoiled…generation.” “Great ____pectations of So-Called Slackers.” “The Me Me Me Generation" “__________ are lazy, entitled narcissists who still live with their parents...” “Undisciplined? Entitled? Lazy? _______ faces familiar flood of workplace criticism.” If you had to guess which generation these quotes were referring to, who would you say? Some might assume Gen Z. In reality, they have been used to describe every generation: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Generational disconnect is not new. It has existed long before Gen Z entered the picture. This group is here to bring clarity to what makes Gen Z unique, where common misunderstandings tend to show up, and how better understanding can lead to stronger communication, collaboration, and outcomes across generations. Looking forward to learning together. Quote 1: Hitchens, Christopher. “The Baby‑Boomer Wasteland.” Vanity Fair, Jan. 1996.
