Well there is some truth in that generations face different common challenges (different wars, levels of tech, economies, etc), and examining how a given "culture" reacts as a whole to these changes is potentially useful.

I know boomers who are cartoonishly entitled and millennials who work 60 hour weeks without complaint. That said there are some consistent general trends. Computer use drops drastically in the older demographics, for example.
