Burnt Generation In Iran , the Burnt Generation ( Persian : " Nasl - e Sokhte " ) is the generation born between 1963 to 1980 , having experienced the 1979 revolution , Iran — Iraq war , and political or social consequences of these as children and young adults . This generation resonates with Generation X in the Western world . They were born at a time when the middle class had the majority , higher education was extremely valued and hard work would promise a bright future . The Burnt Generation shaped their future dreams based on their parents ’ values and lifestyle . These values described success , convenience and social acceptance as simply achievable goals through hard work and right education . Their parents , a Baby Boomer - like generation , had rebuilt the country after World War II , established public education and women ’ s rights , nationalized the oil industry , and enhanced the public health system . Although there was a growing dissatisfaction with the government and Shah ’ s approach to a variety of political and social issues , the public ' s assumption was that those issues would be resolved through a democratic system . After the Shah ’ s exile in the 1979 revolution , the clash between various political groups and new government created a suspicious environment that deeply affected the beliefs and values of the Burnt Generation . They are marked by lack of optimism for the future , nihilism , cynicism , skepticism , political apathy , alienation and distrust in traditional values and institutions which describe the similarities between Gen X and the Burnt Generation . Another important event that influenced this generation was shutting down colleges and universities for several years . After reopening , every applicant had to pass an interview with the government - approved committees and women were only allowed to apply for certain limited majors . At that time , many of Burnt Generation , ranged between 13 and 25 years old , were fighting in the Iran - Iraq War , which lasted from 1980 to 1988 with a million casualties on both sides . As a result of growing up in that environment , they either have strong religious beliefs or are completely distrustful of religion and God . Some believe in God but disconnect themselves from any religious beliefs or groups . Their most common values include loyalty to family and friends , compassion , and high work ethics . The uncertainties of their future , either for those who lived in Iran or elsewhere , leave a deep sense of insecurity in the Burnt Generation .
