quote:

Baby boomers were a distinct result of WW2 soldiers coming home and starting families. Then after they got labeled, the media started to try and label other generations with implied characteristics as a quick way of describing them, which is dumb.

And GenX had the distinction of the baby bust, high divorce rates, both parents working, 80s rock and 90s grunge, MTV etc.

The problem with generations is that people that fall towards the beginning or end don't tend to fit neatly into one vs the other. It's why a lot of people born in say '82 feel more connection with GenX than Millennials.
