      Obviously the boundaries are fuzzy and you can only speak in average terms But Gen X are mostly the kids the Boomers had when they thought they weren't ready and Millennials are the ones they had when they thought they were It explains the differing damage pretty neatlyhttps://twitter.com/MoreAndAgain/status/1371562542284337157 …

      The boundaries between the generations are mostly defined by numbers The Boomers are named after the fact that they greatly outnumbered their immediate predecessors, who were called the "Silent Generation" for exactly that reason A dynamic replicated by Gen X and Millennials

      So some Xers are kids of Silent Generation parents but they're outnumbered by Boomers who had kids young because Boomers outnumber the Silents so badly in general

      Just like the majority of Gen Z kids will be children of Millennials in the long run, not Xers (but this is a less pronounced split right now because only the oldest Gen Zers have just become adults, and Millennials greatly delayed having kids compared to their parents)

      So they're basically arbitrary distinctions based on sociological measurements of birth rates surrounding major historical events? Also thanks for the quick responses

      Replying to @Bearclaw93

      Well we can argue over whether they're "arbitrary" My take on "generational theory" is that whatever validity it has relies heavily on numbers, on the brute demographic facts of how many people around your age your society has in it

      Everything that makes Boomers Boomers is a result of the Boom A massive wave of people moving through history making their age range the important age range while they were in it, just because they outnumbered everyone else

      Like all this stuff we say about Gen X being "forgotten" like the Silent Generation before them is just a simple result of being born at a time when fewer people were having kids And growing up in a world that wasn't suited to children because there weren't many children

      I would argue you can see this happening again with Gen Z being a numerically tiny generation Marketing isn't my field but my gut feeling is that the "family dollar" matters a lot less than it did when I was a kid

      Replying to @arthur_affect @Bearclaw93

      Because nobody my age even has kids So the companies that are theoretically making stuff for kids are instead chasing the "nostalgia dollar", everything that's supposed to be for kids is also partially targeting weird nerdy adults like me

          The brony thing really cemented this, like the idea that there was more success to be had selling children's toys to affluent young adult Millennials seeking to hold onto their inner child than actual literal children, cause there's a lot fewer of those

          And like anecdotally this is what Gen X thought of their own childhood culture they grew up with Everything sold to them was either obviously cheap stupid crap or it was Boomers in their 20s and 30s yelling at them about how much cooler being a teenager was in the 60s
