I mean, I know my wife and I were boomers. Someone pointed that out to us.

But the rest? Who is centennial, millennial, Seanpennial or perennial? Hell if I know. And then there are the Gens. A to Z, and then even Gen

Gen Yuzz (after all, there must be SOMEbody out there with a Yuzzamatuzz, right?)

I think our daughters count as millenials (now that I have the time frame). Narcissistic? Lazy? Wrong planet. Not our two young women. Someone needs some help with their generalizations. Creative, tech-savvy, involved? Yes, they are both all three. Job-hopping? Wrong again. Especially our younger daughter. She became the youngest partner ever in a big New York international law firm at age 31, and makes many multiples of what I do. She'd have to be crazy to job-hop, and she's anything BUT crazy. She doesn't show off, but she is also hugely and selflessly generous to family and friends. They both are liberal on social issues, and have no need whatsoever for guns, or people who covet them. Conservative on social issues in that they concentrate on their one partner, their one family, and the well-being of both. Yes, "conservative" with a small "c," but not as defined on Fox Noise or in Republicanese.

They are only hard for parties to woo because both of them are solid Democrats, and have voted that way since they could vote. They ARE independent thinkers, which is WHY they are Democrats. It's the Republicans who let others do their thinking for them--the very opposite of independent.

So much for labels and trying to make people fit into them. It's no immense task with right-wingers, but with us? Leave the labels at home, because for all the rules you make, you're only going to end up finding exceptions to them.
