… of who said what and why, why this or that was being pushed.
I took it one or two steps further … If I can say that a certain generation is from 45 to 28 today, Tuesday, another is currently 11 to 28, another 62 down to 45 … and that the 17 year gap is a fair model (give or take 2 or 3 years overlap) post-ww2 but that it doesn’t quite work that way 1890 to 1946 … that’s a conclusion after much study.
Refining it further, there’s a case for dividing it in two … that 1946 to 1955/6 are one lot and 1955/6 to 1963, Generation Jones according to some American analysts, is another, more aligned with Gen X, more complicated and prog, while the first is still Happy Days … I’ve started thinking late Boomer/early Gen X for so eone born 1959 to 1965, say.
And I’ve already put the case for decades being more properly, culturally in the west … mid 50s to mid 60s, mid 60s to mid 70s and so on … rather than from the top of each decade till the next.
Then there’s who are which gen’s children … for example, a Boomer from 1955 has a child … when? Let’s say at 24 years of age. That child is cusp Gen X/Millennial. It’s not so that mid Boomer has a mid Millennial child … those half generations become important in any demographic study. If my preferred popular music is 1955 to 1965, then how does that place me, Gen wise?

a) A practicing Catholic and father of nine, José Antonio Kast won 58.2% of the vote in the second round of the Chilean presidential election on Sunday, December 14, a resounding victory over the communist candidate Jeannette Jara (41.8%).
b) More on the resturant that has a separate room for females, but “is nothing to do with Isl@m” – it also has an Isl@mic prayer room.
c) Here is the next step in Global Control. TikTok ban for under-15s in France: “We are looking closely at the example of Australia,” says MP Anne Genetet.
d) French Farmers Cry Foul. Rebellious farmers do not understand why armoured vehicles are sent to them and never to suburban rioters.
e) Attorney Aissaoui, who represents several drug traffickers, was expelled from the high-security prison in Condé-sur-Sarthe after concealing objects in his private parts. This is not the first time the criminal lawyer has attempted to smuggle objects into the prison.
