What is a Generation?
“A co-hort group whose length approximates the span of a phase of life and whose boundaries are fixed by peer personality.” Phase of life: dependence, activity, leadership,
stewardship Peer personality: persona determined by common
age, common beliefs and behavior, and perceived generational membership – most impacted by events that take place during dependence and activity phases

Generational Cycle
Idealist Generation Indulged youth following secular crisis, inspires
spiritual awakening, fragments into narcissistic adults, cultivates principle as midlifers
Reactive Generation Underprotected and criticized youths during
spiritual awakening, alienated adults, pragmatic midlife leaders

Generational Cycle
Civic Generation Increasingly protected youth, comes of age
overcoming secular crisis, unites into a heroic and achieving cadre
of adults, builds institutions as midlifers Adaptive Generation
Overprotected and suffocated youths, matures into risk-averse conformist adults, produces midlife arbitrator-leaders

Fashion
http://library.thinkquest.org/23440/generationlink.html G.I. Generation members looked for elegance, whilst Silent generation
members looked for practicality. Baby boomers were ones to cast off the shackles of the previous generations to take on a frivolity and enjoy clothing - going to the extreme of the punk rocker eighties. Generation Xers have mellow tastes in fashion when compared to their parents, for they have realized that money isn't everything and extravagant fashion can end up looking rather tacky - this is seen with the short lived popularity of Grunge. It's moved towards a sleek chic look for the Millennial generation as they prepare for a new Millennium. What the Futuristic generation' taste in style will be is left up to the events that have yet to come.
