    Are these generational terms even used to describe people outside of America?

      Right? It’s less messy to compare and complain by generation than by the material conditions. Which aren’t particularly the fault of a generation whom also had their own owning class, their own labor and union involvement, as well as different relations to international finance capital.

        Yeah, I mean baby boomers are only called that because it was American soldiers returning from war and having a ton of babies. I have no idea what was going on in other countries, or of they experienced a boom too.

      Definitely in other Western countries, at least. Only makes sense for those countries that had a post-WW2 baby boom though.
