This one makes way more sense. It’s laughable to think someone born in 1985 has had an upbringing remotely similar to someone born in 2004. The Harvard article’s reasoning seems to be, “If Boomers span 20 years, then all generations should!”[/quote]

I was born in 1974. Do I magically have more in common with someone born in 1965? [/quote]

And there is no chance someone born in 1964 feels culturally connected to someone born in 1947[/quote]

I agree, if only because of the difference in the prevalence of TV as an influence. [/quote]

Why are kater generations getting shorter and shorter ?[/quote]

If that means Later — I’d say that it’s because technological leaps and significant cultural shifts are happening faster and faster , so that the band of people with similar significant cultural shifts in common is getting smaller / shorter.

 I agree with your take (and yes I meant later)

But it seems a bit much to refer to 15 years than then even less as a generation ..,  not many people have kids that young … maybe they should start using cohort or something else rather then generation … AI is making advances for sure but we are not human IPhones quite yet … [/quote]
