EDIT: to add some commentary, as one of the older Millennials, I've seen the media go from talking about "Millennials joining the work force" about a decade ago now, to "These wacky high school/college Millennials" now. As technology and society advance at an increasingly rate, it make less and less sense to group together such a wide age range.
A generation used to span roughly 20 years, right? These days it should probably be a decade or less. In which case, it probably shouldn't be used as a catch-all at all anymore. Maybe just stick with "People born in n decade".
- CapitalistCartr 11y agoIt has for a long time. I'm technically part of the Baby Boom, but when people talk about "The Baby Boomers" they mean the first ten years. Its always obvious. Those of us in the second ten years are not similar. I find people group well by decade, starting in mid-decade: 1945-55, 1955-65, 1965-75, etc.
- untothebreach 11y agoWow, I identify with a _lot_ of that article, though as much as I love(d) The Oregon Trail, I'm not sure I could call myself a member of the "Oregon Trail Generation" while keeping a straight face :)
