Eli5: why are there different generation band lengths?

625 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

Things change faster than 18 years. Hippies were big in the late 60’s with Woodstock in 1969 but Boomers born in 1963 were only 6. Somebody else born in 1953 would be 16 and they would be total different while only 10 years apart.
