Yeah, there are actually TWO generations between Boomers and Zoomers. I'know we're forgettable to the rest of you, but Gen Z is still alive. :)

No worries - I was mostly joking. It’s pretty funny how often Gen X gets skipped. My sense is that we don’t mind all that much? The discussion of generational differences is fascinating and also funny. I was born way the hell back in the sixties (!) when it wasn’t really a thing. We all thought our parents were old and that was about it. I’ve been putting together a piece about the invention of generations - it’s fascinating. Obviously the internet has amplified the concept. Anyway, I liked your piece! Those childhood tropes and touchstones are deeply ingrained for sure.
