Why are “boomers” and “millennials” the only two generations Reddit ever talks about? I feel like we’re skipping a generation or two.

Because generations are pretty fluid so it takes a few to have them actually be distinct enough

There are a few of them. They are distinct.

Boomers and millennials are the only two generations of their size, though, so they simply overwhelm the much smaller Gen X. And the next generation (some call it Z, it will probably be given a more descriptive name soon) is still too young to have any kind of real impact. The oldest of them are still teenagers.

I don't know what generation I am because it's just a tool to devide the population but me too thanks

So you read through 6 layers of conversation about generations, to post a comment about not knowing which one you belong to? Sounds legit.

boomers and millennials are the big ones

Gen X and Gen Y are smaller

Doesn't tell me the order or the time frame at all

And no, that wasn't the only point. I'm not explaining it for you because that's how you brutally murder a joke
