CW: Wann welche Generation begann und endete
Eigentlich sollten doch Generationen klar definiert sein, oder?- Silent Generation: Geburtenjahrgänge vor den Baby Boomers bis zurück nach 1928.
- Baby Boomers: je nachdem, wen man fragt, entweder ab 1946 oder ab 1950 bis 1964.
- Generation X: 1965 bis 1980.
- Generation Y a.k.a. Millennials: 1981 bis entweder 1995 oder 1996.
- Generation Z a.k.a. Zoomers: 1996 oder 1997 bis 2010 oder 2012.
- Generation α: 2011 oder 2013 bis 2025.
- Generation β: seit 2026, wobei einige den Start einer neuen Generation noch nicht anerkannt zu haben scheinen.
Aber fragt mal einige von denen, die im 21. Jahrhundert geboren sind. Die sehen sich selbst als „Millennials“ und jeden als „Boomer“, der entweder im 20. Jahrhundert oder mindestens ein, zwei Jahre vor ihnen geboren wurde.
Es gibt natürlich auch die, die die Generationeneinteilung akzeptiert haben. Aber da gibt es dann die Zoomers, für die schon die Millennials allesamt altbacken sind. Oder gar die in der Generation α, für die schon die Zoomers von gestern sind.
Was aber alle Generationen ab den Millennials gemeinsam zu haben scheinen: Sie tun so, als hätte es die Generation X nie gegeben. Entweder: ohne Internet aufgewachsen = Boomer. Oder die Generation X fällt einfach nicht auf.

2- how about in other parts of the world? not a perfect fit in Canada, are these generational terms relevant at all in other countries/regions?
My problem with the video is that none of this ever had much to do with my life, while I thought it was very weird I'd be considered in the same generation as people old enough to be my parents (though my actual partnes were a bit older)! I never 'jonesed' for any other generation's opportunities etc.

1 Any Canadian Generation Jones folks here? Curious about your thoughts on common desciptions (between gens, not quite fitting etc) Watching (probably won't finish) a video about the psychology of the generation between boomers and gen x- those born 1954-65. I was born near the end of that- definitely agree that I never felt part of the boom-- I was born in the Summer of Love, not participating in it. Overall probably more in common with gen x.. -cont-

#Seniors #WealthTranfer #Boomers . . .
Here's another interesting article in the #SFChronicle today.
**A historic transfer of wealth will be centered in the Bay Area. It may not look like you expect**
This article is about the anticipated wealth transfer from Boomers (like me, who currently range in age from 62 to 80) to their family members (&/or to charities) after they die.
I'm generation skipping because my son turned out to be an ungrateful SOB. So, I currently plan to transfer all of my $/assets to my 2 grandchildren but, if they turn out to be ungrateful SOBs too, I'll give it all to charity.
I don't feel like I owe any of them anything & I don't want them to know how much $ they're likely to receive because I don't want that knowleege to affect how they relate & treat me before I die.
All I'd like to get some unsolicited attention & respect from them as their grandfather &, if I get that, they'll get the $. Otherwise not!
We'll see . . .

In their final act on the national stage, the #boomer generation left the #USA with a #supplyshock, #joblessness and #stagflation. And never once did their #dunningkruger diminish, so there will be no apology, no introspection. Only surprise that we are not enthusiastically supporting funding for their statues. #boomers

CW: Question about generational hatred.
"The reasons one finds to hate any particular generation are post hoc justifications for an axiomatic intergenerational emotion some people develop."
Do you agree, disagree, some combination of agree and disagree, or something completely different?
