A generation-defining youth protest movement
Window: 13 Oct 2027 – 13 Oct 2029

What this is
A protest wave visibly carried by a specific generational cohort becomes identity-defining for that cohort — Hong Kong 2019 Gen-Z, Chile 2019 millennials, Thailand 2020-21 Gen-Z, Iran 2022 Gen-Z, Serbia 2024-25 students. F-CT-8 at the generational grain boundary (youth-bulge cycle × political-grievance). Downstream effect: political priors + voting patterns of the cohort are rewired.
