American Generations

American generations are groups of people born around the same time who share similar cultural experiences, values, and events that shape their worldview. From the Silent Generation (born 1928-1945) to Millennials (born 1981-1996) and Gen Z (born 1997-2012), each cohort reflects the social, economic, and technological shifts of their era. These generational labels help us understand differences in perspectives, behaviors, and attitudes across age groups, highlighting how historical contexts influence collective identity over time.
