His astrology stuff is woo woo of course, but he makes a valid point that is NOT a box. Meaning it is supposed to be based on COMMON TRENDS. If you are aware of MBTI that ALSO goes by common TRENDS. It never once said that these are tightly packed boxes. But gives a nod to commonalities which show up in history and in a generation born and raised at the same time of a common history. The longer you know of generational theory and MBTI or anything else like this regarding societal trends, the more you will realize this fact. I am an ISFP core millennial who once was concerned I was being boxed in, yet I consider myself an isfp core millennial now because I realize im not being boxed in. It is just there are some commonalities I can identify with which make me one. The shared history being one for being a core millennial. The way I think dominantly for being an isfp. Education on the real reason for these theories and noted ways of thinking will help immensely. Keep studying.

Isn't that why there was a "list of people who were anomalies for their generation" thread?
Bingo so I have no idea why aspie keeps going on as if it is a tightly boxed theory. None of the societal theories are meant to be taken that way. It merely notes some commonalities and trends that run through history. Likewise MBTI notes commonalities and a way of thinking that is measured by cognitive functions that appear in similar ways. Hence the need for a thread on anomalies of the generation which states that fact that it is fluid. It is not a box and never was meant to be a box.

It is a box though. Generations are only ever used as insults or generalizations against others. It's only used as a way of saying you must think this way or believe that way. Generations are a way to force the individual to comply to some group status or a way to insult someone. I've never seen them used for good only for bad purposes.
That is true especially with the terms "Boomer" and "Millennial"; they are mostly used as insults these days.

Which is why I want to do away with the concept of generation. The concept has never brought any good to the world.
