As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I'm trippin or there actually is one.

I don't get the impression there are even precise definitions of these generational labels.

And I don't think they make any sense at all outside of USA and maybe west Europe.

It's inherently an american concept, which is what also annoys me as some Europeans have started importing the concept even though it makes little sense (I don't really think it makes sense in the US either but the fact that it is imported is just extra stupid).

I think people just love putting other people in boxes. Consider people complexly instead.
