Govt employee advice for generational dealingsGreatest Generation: Archie Bunker poster in yr office, racist jokes Silent Generation: offer them free oranges to get them onsideBoomers: have a ready supply of quaaludes, mention woodstock & ReaganGen Xers: wear a flannel shirt, drink a slurpee and talk about Scooby Doo, act boredMillennials: participatory gold stars at all timesgeneration z: message them through FB

i mean it is true that at particular times in history particular things happen to people who are of a particular age, like for instance most of them die in a war, or someone tells them about weed; it's not totally insane to assume that these things have describable cultural implications; it's just necessarily reductive, but since it at least tries to engage w/ history it's more interesting to talk about than most of the other busybusybusy ways humans invent to earnestly categorize each other (i myself am an ENFP, or something).

yeah, i think one of the useful things that generational categories do is to clearly demonstrate their own arbitrariness and limitations

Crystal Pepsi, iirc, tasted a little like flat 7-Up. Which was not totally unlike:

do u gen X'ers think of Obama as one someone from your generation? i've always thought of him as more of a minor boomer to clinton's boomer major but he was born in 1961, so on the threshold for sure
