Eli5: why are there different generation band lengths?

627 viewsBiologyOther

From my understanding each generation should be 18 years

Boomer: 1945-1963
Gen x : 1963-1981
Gen y: 1981-1999
Gen a: 1999-2017

However I see on a lot of sites people have the Gen x range to be 20 years and Gen y to be 15

It’s all nonsense. I’m supposed to have more in common with someone born in 1945 than someone born two years after me? Obvious bullshit.

There is more variance between people living on opposite sides of my hometown than there is between “generational” attitudes. The whole thing is vastly overhyped.
