Demography is moving away from generational studies because aside from Boomers they do not indicate much
It's basically just fun to group people by cultural trends that defined the decades they grew up in.
I can relate to this...recently found out I'm a Xennial!
Just had to fire that off, didn't ya, Mr. C?
The problem with that is that a same generation can tend to run in multiple decades and therefore different trends. It would make much more sense to group by decade, or better still, what the huge fad was when you were in elementary school.
