    no one can come to any consistent definition of generations

    That’s stupid, first, I thought a generation consisted of a 20 years, now it’s 15 years (Gen X seems to have started and ended on 1965-1980)… then 17 years?

    Gosh, this is stupid…

      It’s not a fixed amount of time, I’m pretty sure it has to do with how society progresses/changes and big events that influence how people develop. If it was just a fixed period it would be basically useless, because of not being sensitive to what can bring differences to generations
