Am I the only one who feels that the desire to label everything is exhausting and stupid?

I get so tired of hearing of the Boomers, Genx, the Millenials. I mean I get it. Some labels are necessary but I feel there is one for every decade now when we haven’t exactly progressed that much. I mean before it was Stoneage, Bronze age, Iron age, Renaissance, Industrial and Modern ages. You had hundreds of years under that label. Yes we have jump leap and bounds over the last 4 decades but you can still call us all Modern age.

I know some of you are going to say it is more about behavior but if you look at us now compare to a hundreds years ago you still have the same behavior. You have greedy people, and people who are afraid of progress and paranoid conspiracy nuts and religious nuts, unselfish, kind, helpful and lazy and unhelpful. No need for new titles when they exist in all decades.

It’s just a way to dismiss people from each generation. People rarely use this names in a positive way, unless they are born in that generation but nor all good nor all bad exist in each generation. So why the stupid labels?
