Web 3 isn’t real, it’s a marketing term made up by grifters

Right, right…
web 3 creative
Oh, is that what the kids are calling it nowadays.
Never heard about “gen alpha” either, let alone any of the later ones. - Calavera ( @calavera@lemm.ee ) English4•1 year ago
Just another way to divide people

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.

@zoe I like the “forgotten generation” for us Xers. I am policy adjacent in the public sector and we occasionally laugh about how there has never been a policy or program directed at X.
thus posts like this are made so someone expert like yours @rogermexico@mas.to could help point out the the context of certain denotations. thank you :)

Something I’ve always kind of been curious about is it just the year that you were born in that matters?
- Bldck ( @Bldck@beehaw.org ) English11•1 year ago
Yes, it’s tied to year. The folks who are on the borders of generations often find themselves torn between experiences.
I have a lot of friends born in 79/80. They often use the term
Xennial
instead of X or Millennial. “An analog childhood but a digital adulthood”- zesty ( @zesty@lemmy.ca ) English2•1 year ago
Sometimes I hear of Gen X including right up to 82 or 83
- Corroded ( @CorrodedCranium@leminal.space ) English1•1 year ago
Yeah that’s kind of where I’m at
