What's something about different generations (eg generation z, millennial etc) that you don't really understand? (lazysoci.al)

Why anybody even uses these lazy-press labels in the first place?

There is no nation-wide "generation" suite. Boomers, GenX, Millenials, whatever โ€“ it's all bullshit.

Your "generation" (as a still very simplified and grossly inaccurate model) is everybody born within 12 years of you either direction. Which, as you can guess, means there's a whole lot of overlap.

This "boomer"/"GenZ"/Millenials/whatever crap is the product of a lazy press and marketing.
