#generation #generationalpha #genz
A generation is all the humans born AROUND the same time AND who experienced pretty much the same culture growing up. Specifically, we are talking about SOCIAL generations. That’s the generations most typically bring up today. There’s also the more traditional FAMILIAL generations, or a group of humans all on one level of a family tree. Nah man, in this video, we’re focusing on social generations.
