More Generational Malarkey

I have already shown some skepticism over the overuse of generational abstractions as the title of this post indicates: "Millennial Nonsense: Generalizations about Generations." In it, I provide a list of titles of books and articles as evidence. More evidence is provided here in a list of "GEN" titles noticed over just the past few days! As I have also written,

"Genug Shoyn" or "Enough Already."

This was all prompted by another "GEN" headline encountered in The

Washington Post, "These 8 Gen Z Habits Are Baffling. Let Us Zoomers Explain," (Aug. 20) Which begins, bafflingly enough, with this sentence. "It's impossible to pin down the essence of an entire generation."

Here are 75 that were quickly found. They have also been quickly pasted

and I did not bother with capitalization, since the people who wrote them

didn't either. I also did not provide the sources, since the list would have been too

bulky. They exist, I assure you, and I did include the source for the

CANCON example to show you. It is unfortunately the case that this

generation thing is a global phenomenon.

"Gen Z doesn’t need a year of national service. They’re already drafted into decades of service for older Canadians; Their service is baked into housing markets, government budgets and the deteriorating health of our planet," Paul Kershaw, G&M, August 23, 2025.

The Bonus:

If, like me, you have no idea of the ages of those residing in the various cohorts, that illustration might help. It may be a little outdated since it doesn't mention the ALPHAS. I now confess that I just discovered another post I did on this subject about a year ago. The confession is made because, if you put all of the citations I have provided into your own bibliography, all you will have to do is the dissertation part and you will be granted a PhD. See: "Generational Gibberish.". Of course, see also the closely related post: "ON Bullshit".
