next Fourth Turning that will occur some time around the 2080s.
Some followers of the Fourth Turning theory argue that the Fourth Turning really began with September 11, 2001, when the oldest Millennials were only 19 (Strauss and Howe begin the Millennial generation in 1982, when there was a sudden and drastic shift in society's attitude toward babies, who in the 60s and 70s were considered terrible -- overpopulation fears, Damien etc. -- and now middle age Boomer parents were finally ready to embrace their parental role and proudly put "Baby on Board" bumper stickers on their vehicles).
According to Strauss and Howe, the Fourth Turning should have begun around 2008, but many analysts say the crisis era really set in with the 9/11 attacks, and Boomers gave in to their worst tendencies, crushed the Millennials before they were old enough to be the foot soldiers of society's new turn. So there was no civic recovery from the Fourth Turning this time around, and we are in for a new robber baron age.
The Millennial generation was supposed to run from 1982 to 2004 but was cut short due to the premature beginning of the crisis phase of this historical cycle. The Zoomers, then, are the new Prophet generation, i.e. the new Boomers in terms of their interests but without the money or numbers. And the Millennials are an "Artist" generation instead of a Civic generation, i.e. the new Silent Generation.
