Generations have been stereotyped in so many ways—from being quiet quitters to narcissists. But maybe it isn't a generational thing after all.

Maybe this kind of division was massively adopted because it allows to easily categorize groups of people for different purpouses, positive or negative. Makes for easy labelling and blaming without critical thinking or analysis. I hope this generation meme dies off, but I think it will take a while, it's very convenient, mainly to advance certain agendas.

Sure. But also convenient to divide people who really should be working together toward making a better world. It’s easy to blame boomers, zoomers, or genx-when in reality all those generations are in the same boat.
