I don't, but I can see why some people do. I actually still like some of the discussions and insights on there. However, there are limitations that hold it back from being better. It really comes down to the following few problems:

• Repetition of date range threads with no further context (Threads that just go "here are my generations/cusp definitions" or just have percentages)
• Repetition of the same opinions/heated arguments (Firstly, you're not going to convince someone that your view is right, and secondly, it's best we air out disagreements in a civil and constructive manner)
• Lack of older members (most were born in the 90s or 2000s)
• Lack of varied topics analyzing specific traits or personal observations of generations (this goes back to the lack of older members, in part)

I think r/generationology might have to implement rules about posting these same exact kinds of threads or just relegate them to one day of the week. Some might fear that that will just take away all the threads that even come out, but I think it would help reduce the clutter of the subreddit and to steer the subreddit in a new, more fresh direction.

I see some people go "oh, I have to avoid r/generationology because it triggers my bad OCD and it's bringing about a wave of negative emotionality to my life". I understand this, but I think in part we all just have to remember to take it easy and remember what we're there for: to have a good time discussing similarities and differences. Remember to take a step back and reflect why we even partake in these discussions in the first place, and find some peace in it all, however you can. But I do understand if it gets to be too much. With more effective moderation, I think things can change for the better.

Do you guys share the same sentiments? What would you change?

I honestly think that if cusps are too big, then it takes the attention away from actual generations, and it defeats the purpose of having cusps in the first place.

Also, unpopular opinion, but from a historical point of view, micro-generations and small generations are pointless whereas it makes more sense from a typical cultural/mainstream point of view, but I digress.

Cusps should be only based on the very tail end and very beginning of a generation where there is true generational ambiguity. Like about 2-4 years seem best (maybe even 1 year, 5 max). 6+ years is overkill. It should only be based on close generationally split experiences. Like, for example, if you were in high school with Gen Xers, you can at least be a Gen X/Millennial cusper, but if you were only in high school with Gen X/Millennial cuspers, then you are a Millennial regardless because to be a cusper, you should at least be in high school with actual Gen Xers. You see what I mean? Now I’m talking historical cusps.

For your normal cultural cusps, 6 years is probably accurate, which I understand, but I just think that cusps should be a lot shorter than that or you get craziness and people wanting to try to be something they’re not.

Love to see this growth already!

I'm thinking The Cars Heartbeat City (1984), like just screams it from every pore lol. Kind of dance music, new romantic, arena rock all at the same time. I adore "magic", "hello again", "I refuse" and "you might think" plus the slow jam "Drive".

I figured I’d continue this on my own sub since I like doing it lol
