    Generational distinctions are a useful heuristic in assessing an individual’s shared experience, but they are not dispositive. Think of how many subcultures for baby boomers exist.

    That group in the US experienced the sexual revolution, second wave feminism, the Cold War, the Vietnam War…

    But also Reaganomics, stagflation, the dot com boom, 9/11.

    The Individual’s reaction and lived experience shapes their Selves, but it’s still useful to know where they were in their lives during those events.
