Bratmicae here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

Different generations love to cast dispersions on each other.

Boomers think millennials and jenzeers are fragile narcissists.

Those younger generations think that boomers are selfish, close-minded pinheads who help

themselves to economic success, and then pull the ladder out for everyone else.

But are these and other generational stereotypes true?

We're going to impact that question for us as Gene Twingy, professor psychology in the

author of Generations, the real differences between jenzee, millennials, jenx, boomers

and silenced, and what they mean for America's future.

We begin our conversation with some background on the study of generations, and why Gene thinks

the Strauss-Hau theory of generational cycles has been disrupted.

We then work our way through the generations, from the silent generation to the present,

and talk about the characteristics and particular challenges of each cohort.

We dig into the myths and truths of the generations, such as whether boomers are doing financially

well and millennials are doing financially poorly.

We talk about why Genex gets overlooked, why there's such a sharp break between millennials

and jenzee, why jenzeers are taking longer to get their drivers licenses and feel

darkly pessimistic and much more.

This is great to see these generation cohorts.

That's really what it's all about.

Of course, it's great to have stories and interviews with real people as well, and I rely

on that too.
