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.
