I would say that here in Venezuela, the existing generations can be divided into:
4th Republic/Pre-Chávez: all those who were born before 1998 and lived before Hugo Chávez’s term in office.
They are characterized by being more conservative, as they lived in a time before the rise of the left and Chavismo and know a different Venezuela.
5th Republic / Bolivarian Revolution: All those who were born and lived during Chávez’s term from 1998 until his death. That is my generation.
Many of us are either very progressive, because our parents who voted for Chávez believed in his ideas, or very conservative for the opposite reason. We are much more politically aware than previous and subsequent generations.
Post-Revolution / Madurismo: Everyone who was born and grew up during the crisis that followed Chávez’s death and Maduro’s term in office. My nephew’s generation.
There are no Chávez supporters here, as they did not get to experience a time when things were not so bad; austerity, scarcity, and misery are all they know. Many of them are now abroad.
Pandemic: all children born during the pandemic. This includes my other niece.
They are still too young to say what their character is like. Most are children of Venezuelans who went abroad, so their idea of what the country is like, if they are still abroad, is influenced by their parents and the media.
(needles to say, I’m not a sociologist or anything. All this comes from pure observation)
