Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, etc. are marketing bullshit that need to stop being used in the common lexicon.

Agree.. Cringe.

Oh, but not "Boomer" so you can still say "Ok, Boomer?"

They should just be numbered. From best to worst, so Millenials would be 1 and Boomers would be like... 6? 7? How many generations have we had 🤔

To me, "boomer" is a mentality. Sure, they were the kids born after the WW2 economic boom, I get that. But I feel that the mentality is "old and dying off and not worth considering".

Based on what I could find, the generations are made up demographics with no real actual definitive delineation. Too many sources can't agree on where one starts and the other ends.

Sauce? I just make stuff and opine freely. I think none of that is bullshit, but I'll debate it on a case-by-case.

Unfortunately, I can't find anything that really matches my statement, but I recall seeing it somewhere.
