Homeland Generation

The Homeland Generation is a name linked to an online contest started by Strauss and Howe regarding what to name the generation after Millenials. The overwhelming response was Homeland Generation though Strauss and Howe did not like the name and choose not to use it. The name referenced how following the 9/11 attacks of 2001 most American felt safer at home then abroad. Strauss and Howe felt the name relied too heavily on a temporary condition. Though it is still used in some circles to refer to people who would be entering young adulthood during the War on Terror. This would be the people born in 1983 or after (as the war is ongoing). This generation is entering the workforce and politics during a time of privacy reduction, travel restrictions, and increasing concern over the hold governments and corporations have over the population.
