Agree these “nametags” we’ve been given to identify our various age groups are cringe-worthy, but, then again, they are just words. . .
Apparently sociologists and demographers have categorized us for many reasons in an effort to help us find out “who we really are,” and have, consequently, given marketers targeted ammunition to sell to us more effectively . Per usual, this sociological expertise is many times more about the buck than the brain.
Although I know this information gives us the opportunity to examine our past, and, perhaps, create a better future, I don’t think most of us give much thought to these stereotypes, and, instead, concentrate on living the lives we want to live.
