    I’m confused with ages here, have we standardized this?

    • Greatest Generation (born roughly 1901–1927)
    • Silent Generation (1928–1945)
    • Baby Boomers (1946–1964)
    • Generation X (1965–1980)
    • Millennials (1981–1996)
    • Generation Z (1997–2012)
    • Generation Alpha (born around 2013–2024)
    • Generation Beta (2025–2039)

      I’m annoyed by this on principle and across the board, but I do want to point out that “Greatest Generation” all the way to “Baby Boomers” makes zero sense in most of the planet. You can sooooort of get away with Millenials to Alpha because the Internet is a bad idea, and Gen X at least applies to probably most of Europe as well as the US and Canada, although it’s still weird across the board.

      But everything before that? Super specifically US-only.
