    OK, but… you just said the same thing I said.

    To reiterate:

    Can you bundle people consistently based on what age they had relative to specific events in history and the shared culture that results from it? Sure.

    Is the experience of each of those bundles of people homogeneous worldwide or even in any arbitrary slice of “Western world” you want to pick? Absolutely not.

    Or, to go back to the very first post:

    I’m annoyed by this on principle and across the board, but I do want to point out that “Greatest Generation” all the way to “Baby Boomers” makes zero sense in most of the planet. You can sooooort of get away with Millenials to Alpha because the Internet is a bad idea, and Gen X at least applies to probably most of Europe as well as the US and Canada, although it’s still weird across the board.

    But everything before that? Super specifically US-only.

    So… is there a point you’re making in addition to mine? Because you sound like you disagree, but what you wrote doesn’t seem to disagree.

      My point was that the dates can stay the same regardless of where you go, even if the stereotypes change.

      What it seems like you were saying is that the dates themselves become irrelevant if you leave America. If that’s not what you meant, your comment lacked clarity.
