  Step 1: Get rid of these generational names.

  Europe doesn’t have them. The USA only has them because whoever comes up with one gets invited to talk about what defines that generation, and with that a lot of money.

    feels like dividing to conquer doesn’t it?

      I think that’s just a “happy little accident”.

    Don’t know about mainland Europe but, in the UK, generational names are definitely a thing. Stupid newspaper headlines about Millennials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, are very common, unfortunately.

    Agree about the idea of getting rid of them, judge people on what they do (the content of their character, if you will) rather than what age they are.

      Do you know what the stupid thing about this is? Those generations are not the same between countries. Babyboomer for example are defined as people born between 1946 and 1964 in the USA. In Germany it’s 1955 till 1969. There are also people around talking about “Boomer” in asian countries, which had totally different experiences and demographics. The whole concept of those “generations” is trash and people thinking that there is a specific stare for everyone who was born in a certain timeframe is also an idiot

      In Italy they are not really a thing. The media uses it sometimes but most people really don’t care
