I’m only 27, not American and I had never heard of married with children before. I can remember watching fresh Prince of Bel air and friends (repeats) and some other shows. Plus I’m on the oldest end of gen z and if I’d had a kid at 16/17 then they’d certainly be old enough to have opinions.
Literally not how it works at all. Generations are defined on the year you were born, not who you were born to.
Mick Jagger was born in 1943, making him part of the Silent Generation. When his wife had their latest kid, in 2016, Jagger was 73. That child is not a baby boomer.
I can’t believe you’re this confident about something so basic and somehow you’re wrong
Also, what, can’t win an argument without infantilizing your opponent? I mean it’s clear you know nothing about this topic and just assume you can “debate” about it using google or whatever, ironic coming from the guy who discounts wikipedia. That’s better than anything you’d know by a good margin anyways.
1 a : a body of living beings constituting a single step in the line of descent from an ancestor
b : a group of individuals born and living contemporaneously
c : a group of individuals having contemporaneously a status (such as that of students in a school) which each one holds only for a limited period
d: a type or class of objects usually developed from an earlier type
Socially, named generations like millennials use definition 1b, because some people are grandparents at age 30, and others don’t become grandparents til they’re 80.
Yes, as I have nephews that are gen alpha, that is how that works. You have kids now that are not gen Z and are around 10 that never knew MWC. Just because someone is young does not invalidate their status as people (yet, don’t give them any ideas).
Multiple generations.

I am refiering to generation alpha. (2010 on since there is not really an agreed on date.)

This is not true. I’m a millennial (1989) but my parents are boomers (1950s), not Gen X, as are the vast majority of my friends. Not everyone has kids in their early 20s, infact the average age to have your first kid in the UK is 29.

Ok, I think this is just trolling at this point. No way someone can make this argument in good faith AND throw out that weak of an insult.

Yes and yet you are the only person that seems to think this is how generations work, that somehow you can skip at all.

Wait, no. You are the one that thinks you can skip!
As in the whole concept of skipping generations is insane in this context.
You almost got me there.
