you guys know that all these terms are defined by two guys who've been doing this for decades, right? like you can argue about your generational headcanon all you want but if you're going to use those terms they have pre-existing definitions

pro tip: all theories that purport to explain how people behave en masse, including "baby boomers are greedy" and "millennials are racist", are horseshit

nobody actually knows why anyone does anything and if you'd read the primary sociological sources instead of pop science articles or stymie/fishmech rear end-pulled summaries this would be immediately obvious

sure was, but saying "all people born from $year to $year behave like this" is just as stupid as astrology.

the only sociological statement that holds up over time is that most people in any given generation are dumber than average.

my point is that 'millennial' isn't a cohort anymore, it's just a slur old people use to slag on kids they don't like.
