‘Boomer panic’ is a real phenomenon, and there’s a heartbreaking reason for it

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-

We may soon have 70 million boomers too old to drive, too car-dependent to stop!
As the baby boomer bubble pushes into its eighties, we are driving into a demographic wall. -
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?

When we were kids, many of us also thought that we’d inherited a fucked up world from our parents (how stupid they were, the people who raised us!) and were confident that we’d fix what they’d broken.
Ha! How’d THAT work out for us? 🤦🏼
But then we finally grew up a bit and understood that we’re all doing the best we can with what we have.
Our parents knew that the world could not be set right in a single generation, so they raised us to continue the battle. And now we’ve done the same for our kids who, I’m sure, will finally come to the same understanding.
But in the meantime, they need to stop the whining. We’re embarrassed on their behalf by their pride in their own immaturity.

'I don’t think an opinion adhering to institutional conventions can be considered an “unpopular take.” Positioning it as unpopular masks a common opinion as marginalised. This type of perception skewing is reminiscent of Christian conservatives claiming God-fearing values are under attack despite Christianity dominating every echelon of American society.'
