I'm tired of every few years the goal post for where one generation ends and another one begins keeps moving around. I demand that there be a ratifying organization that determines officially when generation s begin and end. So say we all!

Generations are (mostly) made up. So of course they're going to shift around a bit while we all try to figure out what major world event or collective experience defines a particular cohort.
