Generation Sigma
Generation Sigma is a new name for what was previously known as Generation Alpha (traditionally, those born between 2010 and 2025). At the very least, Generation Sigma defines a micro-generation of people born between 2007 and 2013(ish).
The global pandemic significantly changed the life experience of today’s teens and tweens, in ways we don’t yet understand. The research on the pandemic’s effects on young people today is only just now beginning, and we have much more to learn.
Regardless, these young people went home from school in March 2020, leaving 1st through 7th grade, ages 7 – 13, not knowing what to expect. For them—yes for all of us, but for them, in their formative elementary and secondary school years, the entire world changed. Today, they are ages 11 – 17, going into 6th through 12th grade.
This group of young people, born 2007 to 2013, may be our newest generation, or micro generation. And what better name than to call them the ultimate of ultimate praise, according to their slang of today, and to stick with the Greek alphabet tradition, then to call this group Generation Sigma?

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
