I agree with you. Flailing around to find some kind of value in generational definitions, the best I can come to is more about eras— times defined by significant events, cultural touchstones, or technologies that influenced, in whatever way, directly or indirectly, the people alive at the time, or perhaps the people coming of age at the time.

Even then, how much does it tell us to think of people in those contexts?
