Whenever i look up how long each generation is it always varies but the most consistent is the Baby Boomers spanning from 1946-1964. Though if the following generations continued the same logic, Gen X would be 1965-1983, Millennial would be 1984-2002 (making me a late millennial instead of an early gen z), and Gen Z would be 2003-2021. But instead everyone says Gen X is 1965 to late 70’s/early 80’s, Millennial is early 80’s to mid 90’s, Gen Z is from mid 90’s to late 00’s and Gen Alpha is early 10’s and currently ongoing

People have talked about “kids these days” and “back in my time” forever, but the trend of actually making generations like this began with the ppst-WWII Baby Boom. A lot of kids were born in a wave, which did make a real quantifiable “generation” that was worth talking about – the baby boomers.
But since then, children haven’t been born in big waves like that, so we’ve just kind of divided a continuous population into arbitrary groups based roughly on being ~one generation, two generations etc. after the baby boom.
