Seeing old geezers (millennials) on Reddit codgering around, posting unsolicited lectures on /r/genz and falling in the same self-aggrandizing apathy of previous generations.

This, to be honest. Generations have vague separations but there's rarely any radical divide.

The amount of grouping people under almost arbitrary labels and 'other'ing them on the basis of vibes is nuts. Do some material analysis you nerds.

"Do NOT f*ck with forklift operators born in Idaho in August 1987 who own German Shepherds and drive a cardinal red 2005 Dodge Neon"

Ok, but if we ever get official Hexbear t-shirts, I want one that says this

Too bad Facebook my Neon is Inferno Red Crystal Pearlcoat™

I think generational divides are real, but the way people delineate them completely suck. The lines should be drawn based on huge historic moments like world wars or economic depressions, not just an arbitrary date or timeframe. It also has to consider offset between a person's birth and the cultural moment. Obviously, someone born a day before 9/11 shouldn't be categorized with people who grew up in a pre-9/11 world.

Just consider the US. There's essentially 4 youngish generations:

1. People born too late to remember a Cold War world but born early enough to remember a pre-9/11 world. (Age: 27-37)

2. People born too late to remember a pre-9/11 world but born early enough to remember a pre-Great Recession world. (Age: 20-27)

3. People born too late to remember a pre-Great Recession world but born early enough to remember a pre-Covid world. (Age: 8-20)

4. People born too late to remember a pre-Covid world. (Age: 0-8)

1 is millennials and 4 is gen alpha. But what of 2 and 3? Most people would lump them together as zoomers or lump 3 and 4 as gen alpha while keeping 2 as zoomers.
