    If you’re around 19-21, lol No gentle “emerging adulthood” life-stage decade for you, Zoomers. Straight to middle-age stress. You should just add 10 years to your age right now.

        That’s because you’re mostly not paying for your own lives yet... and the ability of your parents to support you through this as millennials parents did through 2007-12 is far weaker. When that reality hits you’ll age as suddenly as millennials did.

        As if millennials (and other gens) had it that much different. I finished high school the year the Great Recession hit. That was fun.

        This is far worse. And my gen did have it better. When I was 19 the internet boom was starting. Sweet decade.

        I remember when millennials were going to be left in the dust by a much more well-adjusted and politically moderate Gen Z... I guess that’s off the table now?

        Totally. Gen Z is going to be a bunch of little traumatized little psychos. They should produce some decent art though.

        According to Strauss-Howe generational theory, the "life slaps" are different for each generation: for the Hero generation, the slap has an outer-world focus, for the Artist generation, the slap has an inter-dependency focus, etc.

        For the Prophet generation, the slap has an inner-world focus, and for the Nomad generation, the slap has a self-sufficiency focus.
