i had a whole thing about generation names typed out but my phone autorefreshed the page after i tabbed back and i lost the post.

it was offtopic anyway but: the categorization of generations depends on how you count the years. i use a 20-year model, pic related uses 18 years, and the only way you could be on border of Y and Z is if you were underage OR using some crazy system that counts generations in less than 18 years, which is a bit hasty imo.

baby boomers are understood to have been born in the post-WW2 population boom (mid 40s to mid 60s), Gen X has the X becaude it was the 10th generation of Americans and they are mid-60s to mid-80s, then Millenials or Gen 11 up to the early/mid 00s, and the as-yet-unnamed Gen 12 would not be old enough to post on 4chan.

i agree with the spirit of your post (the difference being born in 80s vs 90s) but wanted to nitpick the categorization because people get a bit division-happy when discussing these somewhat arbitrary generation names and i jusy want them to make sense, lol.
