Generation X: 1970s to 80s

This Generation grew up on books, moonlight games, mud play and plasticInes. They experienced what NTA was and learnt how to pronounce words by watching Sesame Street. They are adventurous and very creative. One virtue they possess is an ability to fix things instead of discarding them as junk. The power of writing belongs to them as this was the Era of letter writing and under the mango tree romance.

Generation Y: 1980s to 90s

This Generation also experienced what the Gen X had but they grew up on books, computer games like the Nintendo and shows like Voltron. These are the children who love to meet up with friends at their house to play games on their computers and game Nintendo and Gameboy consoles. Unlike their older guys who were bookish and meet up to swap books, this ones meet up to swap games.

Generation M and Z: The Millenials.

These are the "Indomie" children. The ones who grew up on phones, tabs and the technology advancements. They are smart or so they'll have us the Older Generation believe but they have a flaw which is:
They have zero tolerance level for patience.
They believe in discarding things instead of fixing them.
If they're stuck in a rut instead of thinking their way through, they rely on gadgets to do the thinking for them.
Their inventiveness has led them to basardize the English language by creating words of their own and inserting those words in the English vocabulary such that they now sound sensible where they once wasn't
Words like.
Duh
Baddo
Baddest and a host of others.

So I put forward this question. Which Generation is the smartest?

For me I chose Gen X not because I belong to that Generation but because we are adaptable. We can easily adjust to whatever trend we find ourselves in unlike the Gen Zs.

No my Brother

QuinQ:

*(If this makes Front Page, thank this my post)

@QuinQ
God bless you for making this possible. You're a Godsent

DeltaBachelor:
Hmmm

Brother what happened?

Generation z and alpha are basically consumers

I think this is a wrong categorization

Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996

As a millennial rep, I know that our generation produced the smartest set of humans on this planet!

Meti99:

I agree 90% cos we have some Baby boomers among this in Politics

QuinQ:


You mean baby boomers. Check well. Baby boomers SRARTED it all then we took it to next level. The original forunners of everything you see today were by baby boomers

speaking of next level, is it not upscale from generation to generation or did Gen Y not step up .. is zuckerberg or Seun Gen X

Exceptions to the Gen z, those one are mainly s not innovative

You're wrong brother
Do your research
The Millenials the 21st century Children. Those born in the years between 2000 and 2010.
1980s and 1996 are X and some of the Y Generation

Zuckerberg and Seun are definitely Gen X
I agree with you concerning Gen Z. They are s who like to claim smart

Chienex24:
Generation z and alpha are basically consumers

Of course The Foundation - GENERATION X

🧓 Generation X (1965–1980): The Bridge Builders
Strengths:
Grew up with analog tools but adapted to digital.

Learned patience, problem-solving, and creativity through physical play, limited resources, and DIY thinking.

Developed resilience through less structured childhoods.

High emotional intelligence — knew how to connect, collaborate, and lead without constant tech.

Weaknesses:
Often less native to modern tech, especially in older age.

Risk of becoming skeptical of new trends and tech evolution.

Conclusion: Gen X shines in adaptability, critical thinking, and balance — strong contenders for the title of “smartest.”

🧒 Generation Y (Millennials, 1981–1996): The Digital Natives-in-Training
Strengths:
Hybrid upbringing (books and tech).

Good at collaboration, innovation, and finding their way in a shifting economic and digital world.

Strong emotional intelligence and focus on purpose-driven work.

Weaknesses:
Sometimes struggle with attention span due to early digital immersion.

Grew up in uncertain job markets, leading to instability and pressure.

Conclusion: Millennials are creative problem-solvers with strong digital skills, but less analog grounding than Gen X.

👶 Gen Z (1997–2012): The Gadget Gurus
Strengths:
Exceptionally tech-savvy — they don’t just use tools; they grow up building on them.

Learn fast, think in memes, think in code.

Digitally entrepreneurial (YouTubers, TikTokers, coders by 13).

Weaknesses:
Shorter attention spans.

Lower patience and less resilience in offline problem-solving.

Often rely on instant solutions instead of deep thinking.

Conclusion: Gen Z excels in speed, creativity, and digital innovation, but often lacks the depth of analog problem-solving older generations were forced to develop.

🧠 So, Which Generation is the Smartest?
The honest answer: It depends on how you define “smart.”

But if we consider adaptability + critical thinking + the ability to function in both digital and analog worlds, Gen X does stand out — not just for what they learned, but how they’ve evolved.

🧾 Final Thought:
Each generation is “smart” in its own context. But if we judge by who can survive with or without tech, solve problems creatively, and on skills to others — Gen X might just edge the rest.

mannobi:
Baby boomers and millennial are the best. But you see those Gen Z,
They are nothing but God forbid. The only thing in their head is TikTok and Instagram

You forgot to include YouTube
They are the Social media Generation
