It sounds like a lot of people don’t understand what constitutes a generation in the public mind. A “generation” is defined as a group of people who’s early years encompassed a world changing event or events. When a kid is maturing something like WW2 or 9/11 or Woodstock can strongly influence their development, and therefore their entire outlook on the world for the rest of their life. One of the reason that boomers are despised, I believe, is that they never really experienced a global hardship during their teen years, and are perceived as selfish and self centered as a result. Contrast that with their parents, who saw WW2.

I always thought i was a millennial but now apparently I'm a zillennial?? '94 No cap, just facts fam edit: I learned about gen z through tik tok. They're a pretty mixed bag, but terminally online humor & self deprecation is IN these days so I'm down with the cool kids. Also I have a middle part now, I caved to the pressure. I look fierce tho so its cool. Uriah Heep fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Feb 11, 2021 |

I always thought it started with boomers because people said "whoa, lots of people had sex and made babies at the same time, we need a name for this", and then after that there's just been a compulsion to name every subsequent generation, because the trend was set. That's why they're named X Z and Millenial, cause there's not really a good term, people just feel obligated to call them something.

Lost Gen: Main participants of WW1 Greatest Gen: Experienced Great Depression, main participants of WW2 Silent Gen: Born during the Great Depression and WW2. Most of the civil rights people are silent gen, including Malcolm X and MLK Jr. Baby Boomers: Born after WW2, the children of the early cold war Gen X: The children of the late cold war

He kind of wanted to jerk off his forebears
