Ok, so you do think the only options are "exactly the same" or "nothing alike". No shit it's a generalization, the discussion is about the general population of a country born within the same ~20-year timespan.
I think everyone in my generation was raised at the advent of the internet, and had 9/11 as a defining moment in their childhood. I think they entered the workforce around the Great Recession, and it affected the way they see the idea of corporate culture and their likelihood of achieving 'The American Dream'. I think those events affected my generation differently than they do one born 40 years before, since they were at a different stage in their lives.
To ignore that is to be willfully blind. You can easily look up polling data by generation at each stage in their lives and see that each generation as a whole has different attitudes about politics, or desired income, or family preference.
Agreed.
