Aside from twitter jokes, generations are a mistake. "Boomers" were created by postwar advertising strategy, and that's a big reason for the mess we're in. When you've been told your whole life that you're special and everything is yours, it's hard to get loose of it.

It's not the name, it's the phenomenon and how it became a cultural reality. There's so many assumptions packed into that word that are purely invented.
