Reminds me that the whole concept of generations is something manufactured of whole cloth and meant to divide us, but more than that, that real people are compassionate and understanding. All that stuff is just fake.

It gives me hope for unity.

    yeah its a short hand for a collection of trends. Of course everyone is different but people of similar ages will have more in common with each other. Because of baby boom people born around that time had an outside effect on the country and generations were talked about more. I mean hippies, yuppies, and even maga now. What can you point to for Xers? clerks. How about millenials and Y? That outsized effect is what made it more a thing.
