Why are millenials protrayed as a homogenous group having lots in common? There is a world difference between someone born in 1985 and someone born in the late 90s, Yet the guy born in the 80s is somehow put to be more similar to 90s kids than someone born in the 70s even though the culture between the 60s and 80s was much more similar than the one in late 90s or the 2000s.
SHould cultural generations be divided into 10 or 5 year brackets?

Better question, why the fuck do you want to break people up into these generations at all?

So we can counteract our insecurities with aging. by feeling superior to the new generations.

To be fair, it's not just in one direction. Young people also foster resentment over the authority that (some) older people hold via seniority.

Newsflash, OP: dividing history into the 70s, 80s, 90s etc. is unscientific and has no explanatory or predictive power. Base-10 and the Georgian calendar aren't part of the fundamental structure of reality, you fucking moron.

Then why is dividing people with completely different experiences who have absolutely nothing in common with each other as millenials "scientific"?

>>2726249
Because making broad generalizations about large groups inherently homogenizes the data. Generations are a fucking scam used by advertisers to trick businesses.

There's a really obnoxious "Documentary" playing about the "achievements" of "generation x" right now. Like the inventions aren't done by individuals who worked hard as hell on their work while the others were out there using drugs, and like electing Obama did anything other than virtue signalling. I especially can't stand the amount of virtue signalling in the documentary itself: "I can't imagine our parents electing a black president hahaha". I love it when they went full dicksuck mode on the daily show.. "I got my political ideas from the daily show." Actual quote from the documentary.

If generations even do exist, I would have them in 10 year spans. However, I believe that they are a human construct in the same way the we have divided time. The changes themselves are visible, but the transitions are let to human classification. It is wrong to stereotype generations and if anything, they have grown more diverse and less homogenous.
