    Yes, because, as we all know, no generation defining historical events have happened since the Vietnam war, the beetles and the hippie movement. Anything that has happened since then has actually solely been the life experiences of boomers, and only their interpretation of such events actually matters.

    That’s why everyone since then has been named after a unit of time or letters. Not like, you know, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the GWOT, the global financial crisis, or the rise of the internet as a central pillar of society merit naming generations after. No, those are actually all just subsets of the life experience of boomers, and other generations who don’t matter.
