Unless you were an Iragi, a Yugoslavian, a Russian, yada yada yada.

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

[-] ImmortanStalin@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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.
