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-

Vandaag help ik mijn 80-jarige vader met het uitzoeken van een Linux computer. Ik zal hem een beetje helpen met overstappen van Windows. Ja, een Linux computer, want je geeft Linux een eerlijke kans op hardware die goed werkt met het OS. Dat zou je ook doen met Windows of MacOS. Ondertussen zie ik “digital natives” dwepen met hun Macbooks, ouderen grappend uitmakend voor #boomers, terwijl ze vaak niet weten waar hun harde schijf ophoudt en de cloud begint😀.
Als mijn vader het kan… #doeidag -
@elasticsoul @RantingCanuck @pressprogress
Now all of Canada can endure the #genx life experience, which is basically being ruled by self centred narcissistic #boomers who sellout, propagandize, lie and constantly exaggerate to get everything they ever wanted.Carney is a dinosaur, soon to be extinct. Sadly, his #neoliberal austerity ideologies and #dirtyoil #pipelines will plague #Canada as well as these pitifully loyal yet ethically shortsighted #Liberals for generations to come.
Liberals will bear this albatross long after Mark Carney has retreated to his comfy billionaire bunker. We will remember the #SouthernOrcas they willfully sacrificed.

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?

@phillycodehound All I know is I'm in the youngest group of #Boomers. I did see an interesting presentation about #GenerationalDifferences in the #Workplace. The gist of it was we old folks should stop whining about the youngsters and learn how to work with them. They are the future, after all.
