Sometimes there are properties about generations that get carried "alternatively" as cycles.

The generation that got too much authority will give the next generation more space (louder generation). Then the loud generation will create louder generation and authority will come back, etc.

It's just an example and I don't think the loudness is part of those properties but the abstract mechanism has been observed along few generation (I think this mechanism had a proper name but I cannot find it again).

Are you referring to the Strauss–Howe generational theory?
