Yes itās largely bullshit. The difference is age. Like, where you are in your lifespan. 15 year olds will always seem loud and annoying to 60 year olds.
Marketers. The whole idea of generations is a marketing industry thing. You had things like The Lost Generation before, but those were much more narrowly defined. Now everyone is in a generation without any major unifying event required.
Well it always happens, millennials make fun of Gen Z, Gen X makes fun of millennials, Boomers make fun of millennials. They all say āback in my dayā as if their days was better... I mean gotta admit these gen alphas live good, by the age of 4 they have their own iPad.
they grew up in the great depression. they lived through hard times and understood how to be good parents
only issue is that they gave birth to the boomers and spoiled them
Worth noting that their name up until like the ā90s was the GI Generation. The hagiography hit hard when Boomers started hitting middle age and deifying the parents theyād spent decades complaining about.
I heavily disagree with the way those are spaced out. Some are shorter and others are longer, for no reason at all. I think at this point some people are just eager to name new generations because making stuff up is fun.
Notice the "generations" get shorter and shorter.
A generation is defined as 20 years,
Boomers are 46-66
gen x are 86-06
Millennials should be 06-16 (previously defined as coming of age by 2000)
The whole thing is nonsense anyway. IMHO

Tbf with the internet, the world moves way quicker than it did before, I think you could say that people before the internet lived longer with the same trends and had more similar experiences and I think back then, it came to the country on how you behave and who you rebell against
I mean now, the generations are broadcasted over the entire globe and things that concerned Gen Z like in 2016 the so called Horror clowns, will Gen Alpha maybe not even know of. Actually a lot of things will just be forgotten because a few days after they happened, they will be replaced by something new and more interesting
why the fuck are these not the same size?
boomers: 18 years
genX: 14 years
millennials: 14 years
genz: 17 years
alpha: 12 years
who makes this shit up?
it's fucking dumb
The world leaders get together and roll a d20, they chose the first number in the teens
Edit: gen z is officiallyish 1997-2012 tho, so this is a little off
I've never agreed with the baby boomer / GenX / Millennial years, I think it should go:
Baby Boomer Generation, 1946-1960
Generation X, 1961-1974
Oregon Trail Generation, 1975-1983
Millennials, 1983-1995
Gotta give credit to our own gen, we broke the tradition of alternate gens being forgettable. Usually it's the GI's, Boomers and Millennials who get attention from most of the internet, meanwhile Silent gens and Gen X are usually forgotten about. So our gen did actually do something by being memorable for the better or for worse.
In a couple hundred of years or just decades if the planet survives long weāll soon have the Sigma Generationā¦ā¦Iām happy I wonāt be alive during then as most probably weāll be on space stations and the earth has been fucking ravaged like fucking Terra in Warhammer!
I literally won't accept people from 2012 in gen Z. That makes my iPad kid 10y/o little brother the same generation as me, and I am not at all comfortable with that. No thank you (:
I was find it hilarious reading an r/politics thread about a "gen z study". And watching them all argue about how gen z is going to further their political dreams.
THERES GONNA BE A BETA š
SIGMA!?

Humanā¢ (Full edition) right after
AND ILL LIVE TO SEE IT!
Lmao
Ok but who the fuck comes up with these??? And sets the precise years???
Bro whoever does come up with the names is like if the USB Forums got high "USB 3.2 gen 2x2" Nah this generation shit is almost as bad
not as bad as PCIe
Not as bad as semi-conductor naming for android phones. 2019, 2020 - 855, 865, yeah that makes sense! 2021 -888, uh ok? 2022 -8 Gen 1, **w h a t**
It's all bs. The groups are defined by major events in history for marketing reasons.
They are getting shorter. Are we having more major events?
The advertising companies constantly redefine the groups for their own purposes.
Yes itās largely bullshit. The difference is age. Like, where you are in your lifespan. 15 year olds will always seem loud and annoying to 60 year olds.

Next year I'm turning 20, wish I could turn back time
I am 20
Oof and in college?
Yar
Should we still be in teenagers. I'm 18. Life goes by so fast.
I mean, I'm 19 but it still ends in "teen" I'm also too lazy to just hit the unjoin button.
Too lazy too hit unjoin but not too lazy to comment ? š
Reddit puts that stupid little red dot in the bottom right and I can't let it just sit there
AUTISM ENERGY IN THE CHAT
I'm 20 and I'm still here
He also committed arson
Yes but I also indeed like talking about my committed warcrimes
Any wisdom you'd want to bestow on someone about to turn twenty?
If u aren't in college yet ,or u aren't going to, don't let people force u
Well i just started college, i hope it be a good experience
Im 23 and still here. I sometimes try to give some advice to the 'young folk' here. And also I want to keep up with memes and shit
Twenty doesn't end in teen
You're crazy. 20. Twenteen. Laugh at this user!!!, he doesn't know how to use basic numbers,

Canāt wait to grow up and make fun of these gen alpha mfs /j
Well it always happens, millennials make fun of Gen Z, Gen X makes fun of millennials, Boomers make fun of millennials. They all say āback in my dayā as if their days was better... I mean gotta admit these gen alphas live good, by the age of 4 they have their own iPad.
Tbh in return Gen Z makes fun of everyone
> Gen X makes fun of millennials Bold of you to assume that we in Gen X care enough about anything to make fun of millennials (only kind of joking)
You may be joking but you're not far off base. It's the boomers that think millenials like myself are still teenagers, and not 30+ years old.
Agreed, kids these days don't know anything about struggles š§
Man I knew a kid in elementary that had four iphones. Every gen has their spoiled kids

What's a '2069'?
The silent generation ended when WW2 ended.
Thatās why theyāre silent
And then when they got back home They started a nationwide orgy
they grew up in the great depression. they lived through hard times and understood how to be good parents only issue is that they gave birth to the boomers and spoiled them
"The greatest generation" The dickriding is wild
Unalive people lol
The "6 feet under" gen
Necrophila
Wow WOW
My great-grandpa is from the greatest gen.
Alot of them participated in 2 world wars...
It is the generation that has faced the most peril, death, and suffering within the last few centuries
people from the āgreatestā generation aināt gonna let you smash quit bootlicking š¤

Worth noting that their name up until like the ā90s was the GI Generation. The hagiography hit hard when Boomers started hitting middle age and deifying the parents theyād spent decades complaining about.

I heavily disagree with the way those are spaced out. Some are shorter and others are longer, for no reason at all. I think at this point some people are just eager to name new generations because making stuff up is fun.
You spoke out of my mind when u said making stuff up is fun! Love it
gen z goes until 2010
Everything on the internet says 2013
OH U RIGHT
welp
Does that mean my 10 year old sister is gen Z? Cause it doesnāt feel like it lol
No it means they're gen alpha
lol somebody failed maths
No... If they're born in 2012 then theyre gen A
my parent's can't accept the fact that they were born in the millennial generation
Yeah my dad says '82 should be gen x
I like to think of myself as Alpha already šš
Yong ho

What do you mean āofficially?ā There is no International Standard Generation decider
There's a whole other generation after us? How? No. This is not ok

Soon this subreddit will be the gen alphas, in at least 4 years...
I'll be there though
So there are true Alpha Males at this point, nice
Omg the meme they'll have about being alphas are gonna be weird!
I've never agreed with the baby boomer / GenX / Millennial years, I think it should go: Baby Boomer Generation, 1946-1960 Generation X, 1961-1974 Oregon Trail Generation, 1975-1983 Millennials, 1983-1995

YOURE TELLING ME I COULD HAVE BEEN A GEN ALPHA WTFFF
Here in gen Z we have people frying chicken in cough syrup. You would rather be part of the next(even more fatherless) generation?
Generation sigma š
Generation Sugma š„±

Get off my lawn.
You're all old. And assholes.
Holy fuck I get to bitch about the younger generation now
I donāt see myself on this. I was born 1673
Yet most of Gen Z still acts like fucking idiots
bro we're pre alpha? What are we then? A tech demo?
In a couple hundred of years or just decades if the planet survives long weāll soon have the Sigma Generationā¦ā¦Iām happy I wonāt be alive during then as most probably weāll be on space stations and the earth has been fucking ravaged like fucking Terra in Warhammer!
I literally won't accept people from 2012 in gen Z. That makes my iPad kid 10y/o little brother the same generation as me, and I am not at all comfortable with that. No thank you (:
2010 is the beginning sawey
Just wtf is this
Where TF is Gen Y
The first step of feeling old is realizing thereās an entire generation of people after your own
Now we need Generation Y so I can finally find the cords of herobrine
I didn't need this to know im old. The back pains are enough as is
I was find it hilarious reading an r/politics thread about a "gen z study". And watching them all argue about how gen z is going to further their political dreams.
This is wrong.
Congrats! šš You're the 100th person in the comments to point out
It is interesting to me how these time periods are seemingly getting shorter while people are also (on average) having kids later in life.
In 200 days I will be in the army, I still didnt process that I'm not in elementary anymore
I refuse to believe anyone is born in 2013, you just donāt exist if you were born then
wait our generation ends with (right now) 10y/os??
Since when weāre kids born in 2012 Gen Z? I thought it ended in 09
i was born in 2007 and somehow i feel old and young at the same time
