How are all my comrades doing?

Another thing against the generation shit: most of them are based on white western mostly anglo speakers of that generation, the definition of gen z fits mostly white middle class Americans, “the generation the grew up on phones” only in the west the rest of them in the third world didn’t, even when being critical of things some will say “most of gen z lingo is stolen from AAL” as in white people taking slang from African Americans, when people say gen z they don’t include black people born from 1995 to 2010. Boomers aren’t inherently racist Trump supporters, Xoomers aren’t inherently centrist edgelords, mellenials aren’t inherently Harry potter avocado hillary clinton, these are white features not generational features.
A lot of black Boomers straight-up took bullets for civil rights or shot klansman and cops. It’s often overlooked in generational discourse.
Something that really hit home for me listening to Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City was that I’m around the same age as Kendrick Lamar and yet his experiences of the '90s were awful. I’ve known about the Rodney King riots because I was alive at the time, but GKmC put it into perspective there were people whose childhoods were affected by those same riots. Columbine was a shock, as well as the Oklahoma City Bombing, but it doesn’t compare living in a place at the height of the Blood-Crips feud.
My point is how it’s utterly bizarre generations get lumped together while ignoring other factors. Kids who grew up in Compton in the '80s and '90s have more in common with kids who grew up in New York during the 1920s and '30s than they do with kids the same age who grew up in suburbs. Lumping generations together like this seems bad for even capitalists. They’re leaving money on the table when they market products towards a generation without considering how different experiences can be within that generation.
this is what me think of this.
Too bad, because who’s got the media infrastructure and English language to dominate the Anglophone conversation, the
Pretty much. I’ve heard younger Indians and Saudis refer to their older generations as “boomers.” Even Russian liberals call the generation nostalgic for the USSR “boomers.”
