At the Millennial generation’s peak in 1990, the U.S. birth rate hit 16.7 per 1,000 population. In 2002, 5 years into the Centennial generation, the U.S. birth rate fell to just 13.9 per 1,000 population.
Since Centennials are being born in a time of trials and traumas, their parents have
begun to shift from the Millennial-era emphasis on
self-esteem and self-expression to a focus on resilience and
integrity. Centennials are being taught to plan for the future and
tend to avoid frivolity and unnecessary risk.
As children, Millennials dreamed big dreams of wealth and fame. Early data suggest Centennials are adopting a more tempered outlook and smaller, more manageable expectations. Although Centennials will drive many of the changes we see going forward in the new century, they aren’t saddled with impossible dreams.
Millennials were taught to value communication, cooperation and collaboration. As young people, they tended to aim for alignment with their peers, showcasing individual strengths as a way to stand out slightly from the crowd. The Centennials’ world has always been fragmented, and they feel less compelled to conform.
of Centennials agree that “having new stuff is overrated when what I have already is good enough”.

Much of the exciting technological progress that mobile-native Centennials see has come at a cost to the traditional market. If Millennials were savvy consumers expert at working the system, look for Centennials to be bold consumers ready to change it.
Millennials were largely respectful of institutions and the marketplace, but Centennials may be less patient. An ever-growing number of tools allow them to create their own workarounds if your brand doesn’t spot and eliminate friction before they do.
Centennials may not even give you a warning sign before they identify a solution—potentially one that doesn’t involve you. Be ready to give up some control and work with this generation to drive your strategies and tactics—or risk them taking you out of the equation.
Centennials are growing up with a less idealistic and more pragmatic edge. They’re facing situations that the Millennials didn’t have to deal with until early adulthood, and as a result, Centennials are growing up more savvy, in graver times when everybody doesn’t win and when choices are limited and success is harder to come by.
