IMO generational is -relevant or pertaining to a particular generation- but what was really meant in the meme is that this is something people have talked about for a long time, in fact for multiple generations, and generations are irrelevant to what’s being discussed.

I just think generational is a trope in and of itself and is losing its meaning through over use.
