Generational divides are at least based in broadly shared material conditions, and while they shouldn’t be used to make assumptions about individuals, they can be used to draw conclusions about large populations as a whole.

Yeah. Look, it’s a dick move to roll your eyes at gen-whatever but there are solid reasons that things are different. Foremost being that generations dictate the age of a person so you could say “those 18-30 year olds don’t know shit about how hard we had it when dinosaurs wrecked homes and ate our children.” I mean, being raised during different technological eras alone can change a lot. There is a clear difference. There might be something to astrology too but we don’t have very good evidence of that.

material conditions are not the primary factor, imho.
your shared experience and life expectations differ wildly, depending on whether you saw the berlin wall or the twins going down in your formative years.

Also Gen-Z typically refers to people born during a particular political/economic climate. Gen-Z in America is definitely not the same as Gen-Z in Russia or China.

Yep. When comparing differences between generations you’ll find them but if you compare the differences between groups with different horoscopes, you likely wont find much.
