Crazy and meaningless term.

Well, it isn't that there aren't Karens in Generation X, but you can't or shouldn't assume everyone in Generation X is a Karen.  It is similar enough to 'OK Boomer'.  It could well apply to some Boomers who refuse to see or address problems, but if you try to assume you can apply it to those Boomers who do see problems and seek to address them, you are going to miss.

Maybe we need generational subtypes, stereotypes that apply to only part of a generation?  But I would agree that considering all Xers to be Karens would be meaningless.

Young leftists who use those memes would never say "OK boomer" to Jeremy Corbyn or "OK Karen" to Kamala Harris.

As for the transitions between generations: Amy Winehouse and Mark Zuckerberg were both born in '84, but I cannot help myself seeing Zuckerberg as a millennial, and Winehouse as an Xer.

The cusp of Civic and Artist (1997-2007) can be called Zoomer.
