the american govt takes generations p seriously and floats a "report" around telling employees how to deal with ppl of different ages based on generational characteristics.This is for real?

well there is some actualy importance w/r/t demographic bubbles and there is some evidence for political loyalties sticking so there's not 'nothing' but it is kinda funny how like 10 people in paris were 'an entire generation of americans'

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

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
