6. I am so F***ing sick of stereotypes and labels

It’s like a corollary to the “there’s two types of people in the world” commentators. This need knows no generational bounds.

In every generation, you have the whole broad bell curvy swath of any duality you want to consider - doers and non-doers, financially dependent and financially independent, cheerleaders and haters, right and left, tech savvy and not-so-savvy.

Why can’t we leave the gross oversimplification sand pigeon-holing to the simple minded who need to think in such terms? Defining and confining someone by the generation they were born in is just as absurd as defining people by gender, race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Of course, if you’re into the whole demographic thing, in which case, I feel sorry for your need to categorize.

Consider a deeply red state such as Kentucky which went 67% to 33% for Trump, 1 out of 3 voters you’ll meet voted Dem.
