Historically, industrialization monotonically increased size of the coordinating group but for a century actually lowered density. Humans could relate to each other via more cartoonish other-models. This hit a trough around the 1960s with the Organization Man set of archetypes.

Thoughts inspired by observation that Woke Derangement Syndrome now exceeds Trump Derangement Syndrome in intensity and incidence. Trumpism is an instance of a cyclic reaction phenomenon. Woke is a stage in a secular historical trend. Cycles self-correct. Secular trends evolve.

Correct questions to ask are different in each case. Cycles: when does it peak, reverse, and go into overcorrection Secular trend: what does this morph into at next scale of evolution

If Trumpism bothers you resist it. If Woke bothers you, punch through to the other side. My suspicion on latter is temporalization of identity. People who wear an identity for a while like clothing evolving past those who want you to find and inhabit a “true” one for life.

I think you're conflating generations with the social technology available during each generation's formative years. Boomer = Radio/TV GenX = MTV Millennial = instant messaging Zoomer = YouTube / FaceTime Alpha = ?
-
Yes because they actually line up reasonably well and because I think technologies shape generations
