Geriatric millennials are Gen X’s younger siblings. I enjoyed growing up around my millennial cousins. They were much more hopeful that the world could be better. My generation became bitter and many of them gave up. Keep up the good work. Move the world forward even if they are kicking and screaming. Just remember all of Gen X isn’t mean as that person.

What are you talking about? The generations are basically just groups of people which are likely to have shared experiences (due to the socio-economic and geopolitical state of the world/their country at the time). It has nothing to do with generations in the familial sense, it's just you who misunderstood. Also, it's mainly a tool for anthropologists and others who study society + its people. So it's not "crap", it has its uses. Some people may misuse it, but that has no bearing on its value.

There's some truth to that. Older people perceive the passage of time differently than younger people. 1 year seems longer when you're 5 years old than when you're 50. That's because at 5, 1 year is 20% of your life whereas at 50, 1 year is only 2% of your life. So to a boomer, those 20 years passed and it was probably nothing to them.
