the same thing happened to millennials. they got blamed for being stupid teenagers when they were in their mid twenties. it seems it takes about a generation for the old folks to catch up what’s the new word for the youths nowadays, by then it’s often barely accurate anymore
Well, there was after WWII. And a smaller wave when boomers came of age. Though boomers have been trying to shoehorn us into generational boxes ever since.

The generational concept is also a bit weird, like if huge waves of children would be born every 10 years lol

yeah it’s a bit weird agreed. i think it attempts to describe more a culture of the youth of a certain decade rather than the people on their own? idk
