>>5935434Generations do exist and it's why view points and things people give a shit about change all the time.
Stuff like covers like this
http://i.4cdn.org/toy/1475027568470.jpg simplify the differences, but the actual articles that they write are very specific in how things have changed from one generation to the next or from previous ones.
One of the problems with newer articles with labeling generations is that they want a clear cut point where one starts and another begins. So you have later papers saying things like how people born in the early 80s don't feel like they belong to Generation Y and there's parts within those papers about how they actually don't fit within that profile either. Of course, earlier papers about Generation Y and later Generation X papers have people born in the early 80s as belonging to Generation X.
So why are early 80s kids included with Generation Y? Simplification for marketing. Two or three years doesn't skew their data enough to not include them.
So it's part of why a lot of articles about the generations are full of shit, because they're simplifying the terms and applying a very broad stroke to define a generation's behaviors and views.
So there are clear defining changes from generation, even though definitions are changed all the time and misunderstandings over them as well, especially when it comes to trying to pigeonhole everyone within the generation as a whole.
