Opinion of each generation

[LLR]

Since historians generally agree that baby boomers are born 1946-1964, I think defining the following generations in the same 18 year timespans fits neatly:

Baby boomers: 1946-1964
Generation X: 1964-1982
Millenials: 1982-2000
Generation Z: 2000-2018

This is correct.

All FFs except boomers and silents.

Why do people hate gen z more then millenials?

We're objectively worse. Can't make it a day without our little gadgets and our selfies... And we're dumb.

FTR, voted Greatest, Silent, and X as FFs.

Trying to classify generations like this is dumb. I mean, depending on what cutoffs you use, I am apparently supposed to identify more with people 10 years older than me than people a few years younger than me.

     Part of the problem here is that societal attitudes evolve at a much faster rate these days, such that 20-year generations are not really a useful sociological concept. I already see a pretty significant difference in attitudes and outlook between my peers and people just five years younger than me.

Part of it, sure. But you still have the issue about people born near the cutoff dates, regardless of where you actually put those dates, even in older generations.

     It's the other side of the same coin. The hypothesis treats generational differences as discrete rather than continuous.

The fact that so many members of Generation Z went full Trump/Alt Right this election really pissed off a lot of older liberal millenials.

I mean this really depends on how you define 'so many.' We'll only really begin to get good data in 2020, so it could very well be the case that it is just a pretty small but loud minority.

And of course this assumes that if they went on alt-right on a sizable scale, they would vote Republican, but generations aren't rigid anyway, so wouldn't it make more sense for the youngest voters (18-20) in 2016 to skew more Republican? I don't have data on those particular years but the 18-24 bloc was the most Democratic age group as well.

I can't believe Silent Generation is overwhelmingly positive, those guys are the worst.  Archconservative greed is good assholes.  As bad or worse as the boomers.

Baby Boomers to Present: all awful.

-That's what makes me like them.
