@starlingfeather Oh, and add to that, if you were born before 1965, when the Copeland book comes out, it redefines Generation X to begin in 1965 and suddenly tries to uproot you from the rest of your Gen-X friends and call you a Boomer. You will resent this, fight against it for the rest of your life, and ask your doctor to increase your SSRI dose when young people start responding to your outrage by saying, “OK, Boomer.”
