LOL, nailed it. This notion that somehow one generation is in some way superior to another and/or dealing with things that no one else ever has, etc…is so tired. As a Gen Xer who had to live through years and years of boomers more or less repeating stuff about younger generations that was said about them…all the while, sucking all the air out of the room, simply because of their numbers.

The notion of a “generation” is largely a marketing fiction and another way to slice and dice the population up in order to divide and conquer. Don’t fall for it. If anyone thinks about it for one minute they’ll realize it’s mostly a numbers game. Why do/did we hear so much about boomers for so many years? Numbers. Why do we mostly hear about millennials after that, almost always skipping Gen X, for the most part? Numbers.
