I really hate the whole generational thing that’s going on… it started around 2020 and has been going strong eversince…
But I really hate that people deivide themselves and make fun of other generations… “That’s sooo Boomer”, “that’s so millenial”, “that’s so gen z” etc are complete bullshit. Not everyone in these generations had the same experience or has the similar traits. You are telling me one guy being born in 2012 and 2013 have a complete different childhood, or 1996 and 1997…
Also not every boomer is a person of power that uses ot to undermine the youth, not every millenial cries the next beat moment and not every genz has brain rot…
I can’t be the only one that feels like these narratives feel very fabricated and forced on to people, so we have another group we feel part of and other groups to be mad at. It feels like it was made to create division between people…
And it kinda makes sense that division is good for the ruling class. I mean it’s easier to rule a bunch of idiots wasting the energy getting mad at each other that over people using their energy queationing your rule…
Latchkey kid here. It started before 2020. I was in grade school hearing crap about generations.
I think a lot of the annoying stereotyping is just people saying shit they know will get likes online.
Putting that aside:
Having ~5 generations simultaneously active in society is a first for our species. The effects of which are exponentially amplified by the internet and globalization.
Kinda an interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory
Generations was published in 1991 and this segmenting of people into these categories has only increased since then. I agree it divides people. But I think it’s popularity isn’t manufactured, the simplistic narrative resonates with people naturally
As ever, GenX got left out of every one of your examples. 😢
We’re a really unique generation. No one else straddled the digital divide like us. Elder millennials were using the first PCs, but we went from nothing to the first home computers to PCs. Same for video games.
We didn’t grow up anything like our Boomer parents, and Millenials feel like my really young sibling who I completely understand.
At 54, where would you put me? (I know, that’s the exact opposite of your comment’s thrust.)
