I once had a discussion with a user on reddit who argued that generation groups like baby boomer, Gen x, millenials etc only applied for USA and other countries were not meant to use them…
Well, the Dutch wikipedia article on generations has the groups different than the English version. In English, I’m Gen X, in Dutch I’m from the “pragmatic generation”.
I would say it applies to a lot of the Anglosphere but I have zero evidence that it applies to every western nation. I’m sure a ton of them have their own names for generations with their own quirks and subcultures.

Kinda. It was invented in the US to divide everyone and keep you fighting amongst yourselves
The rest of us aren’t quite as stupid, but we’re getting there
Good for you!
