 All these labels of different generations, e.g., GenZ, GenX, Boomer, etc., are really starting to piss me off. Can’t separate and control people based on one factor, introduce new dividing labels! FFS, when will this nonsense stop and people will stop falling for the same tricks dressed in new language? 🐶🐾🤯😡🤬 
 Reject labels. 
 O can’t stand labels! 
 THE TALKING DOG IS RIGHT 
 Separate plebs on clubs and make themselves battle each other, in all ways possible  
 Typical boomer statement 🧙‍♀️ 
 Love your sense of humor 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 😘 
 even birth names imarite?
f*ck sense of individualism, all my homies hivemind 
 You are off the mark, individualism is encouraged, labeling is grouping 🐶🐾🫡 
 You're right I purposely overreacted it, 🙌 . Still grouping can be part of a sense of individualism and also be considered apart as a *pure* individualism (precisely GenZ, GenX and so) 

GM! 
 GM! Group based on interests and goals, not arbitrary attributes that person has no choice over 🐶🐾🫡 
 Yes, yes! Lather, those arbitrary attributes (I know them as bodily corporeal ones) are also a common middle ground to stand recognition of groups, —badges, appearances and so— 🫡  
 We may all be the same or whatever, but we were certainly not all born in the same decade.  It's stupid to ignore that fact.  

I refer to generations as decades if I'm using that angle to make an argument about technology or human experience, so everyone is objectively on the same page, and doesn't get emotional.  It works.. a little 😏

 
 Referring to generations is fine, as little GN as it’s applicable. But you should also consider where the person was born and raised, we are not all the same and have vastly different experiences 🐶🐾🫡 
 Temporal & spatial distance matters 😉 
 u mad at stereotypes or…

age groups 💀 
 Stereotypes 🐶🐾🫡
