Generational Cohorts

A 
Baby Boomers (people born 
after World War II, 1946–1964) and Generation Yers (people born between 1977 and 
2000) both gravitate toward products and services that foster a casual lifestyle; however, they tend to do so for different reasons. The aging Baby Boomers, who grew up 
with jeans and khakis and brought casual dressing into the business arena, are often 
trying to maintain their youth. Yers, in contrast, typically wear jeans for status.

Q

Gen Y

A

Children of the Baby Boomers,
this group is the biggest cohort since the original postwar
World War II boom. It also varies the most in age, ranging
from teenagers to adults who have their own families.

Gen Y puts a strong emphasis on balancing work and
life—these young adults want a good job, but they also
want to live in a location that supports their lifestyle.
They also consider marriage secondary, and not obviously necessary, to being
good parents themselves.

convenience and tend to be less likely to believe advertising claims or what salespeople tell them.

Q

priority for them. Third, they believe that they will always be able to take care of themselves, partly evinced by their feeling of economic security, even though they are a
little careless about the way they spend their money. Fourth, they have an obsession
with maintaining their youth. Fifth and finally, they will always love rock ’n roll.
