Okay, Boomer; Let's Talk About "Generations"

This week, GamerDude talks about the "generations" sociologists have created to characterize people born in different eras. He goes back to 1908 to talk about The Greatest Generation, which fought World War Two, and goes through the chronological sequence of generations as described by the Pew Research Center. GamerDude talks about The Silent Generation, The Baby Boomers, Generation X, The Millennials, Gen Z, and the latest: Gen Alpha.GamerDude talks about how some characteristics and attitudes are attributed to a specific generation, but also discusses how there's some overlap between the generations, and how these characteristics are not necessarily unique to one generation. He also talks about how not every person born during a certain year ticks all the boxes for a particular generation, and that the creation of these "generations" is more a convenient reference than a genealogical tool.GamerDude also talks about how the world has changed over the years, which is one of the reasons why Boomers, and Gen Z, and Millennials have a hard time dealing with each other. GamerDude talks about how Boomers were brought up by The Greatest Generation, who grew up in a different world than the one Boomers brought their children up in, and it's the Boomers failure to realize this that causes so many conflicts.
