Why?
Who made all those names?
The Jews?
@EvolLove
I agree that it is a silly division.
Silly, arbitrary, made up nonsens.
Here is how we do it in Sweden.
1960-1969 U are born in the 60's.
1970-1979 U are born in the 70's.
That's it.
It doesn't imply any special value or lack of in itself. Other than giving a clear indication of how old U are, and immediately being able to understand when someone was a kid, a teenager and so on.
No one needs to learn some arbitrary silly names. And people born 1 day apart can hardly be different generations. This must be Jewry.
@DrFell
There are no generation alpha.
That is jew talk
@EvolLove
LOL, youre right, 😂 they can make up any laboratory name for the specimens they want.
We can say we are generation White... suits me fine
My point is that we don't have to call ourselves any generation at all.
We can talk about the 70s, the 80s, the 90s and so on in general terms. And if we are about the same age then we might have experienced a time, that connect us in this experience that shaped us.
But we don't need to invent fantasy generations. Since it all depends on the context. Sometimes a few decades can be lumped together but in other cases each year is definitive. It depends on what we are talking about.
@EvolLove
yes i know what you mean, its a labeling thing for no good purposes of keeping track. They can;t even keep track of migrants, yet they want to categorize people by when they were born.
If I wanted to categorize people based on when they were born I would just use their birthday. Year, month, day.
Since it is logical ans easy to understand.
When we are kids, each year is of significant value and distinct.
It is not until we get older that we start to think of whole decades as a certain period.
@EvolLove Yet music from all decades has common themes of love and lost.
And who decides that music should be the universal standard for categorizing generations?
And it is not consistent. Certainly albums released at the end of the 80s have more in common with albums released in early 90s than in the early 80s.
Still we can talk about decades. But with an understanding of overlapping. We might even misplace bands and albums because "they were out of time"
My point is that humans are not car models. Each year the same model is produced again.
@EvolLove To answer your first question likely Jews they have a huge foothold in the music industry. It’s because humans are energy given form, and love is magnetic.
@EvolLove Exactly music is self expression
@TenaciousGoat
I had a friend who was a die hard fan of Elvis Presley. And another that was into ACDC while I was listening to John Lee Hooker. We were all the same age but listened to music from entirely different decades.
Sure I might recognize the hit songs from my youth, since they were played innuendo on the radio and such, but I would never identify with lets say Madona or Bono.
Music is the production of creative humans. And not a tool for lumping arbitrary generations together.
