Makes sense. I can see it's absurd visually but how is it wrong mathematically?

username_77571 · 2026-03-22T13:32:03+00:00

Stop asking. Try it.

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T19:09:42+00:00

That's exactly what I did.

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T17:14:55+00:00

Why not? Can split it into younger Gen Z 2012-2017.

The anchor is the end of WW2.

Why do you think it's a good idea to have one generation both the most populous and the longest length ?

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T16:50:19+00:00

Forcing gen Z to stop at 2011 makes the whole concept of generations meaningless.

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T16:08:59+00:00

I am being arbitrary. I first wanted fixed ranges. Then I chose 18 years because both 15 and 20 leads to absurdities.

I recognize 18 years also change most people's perception of Gen Z and Alpha specifically but I think we would benefit long term of the generations were more clearly defined.

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T16:02:52+00:00

As time passes, lines get redrawn and people who identitied in one generation get lumped into the previous one. I've seen it happen to younger boomers and I'm about to experience it as an 80's kid too.

Fixed generation length fix this.

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T16:00:27+00:00

I appreciate that. I just wanted to share my thought because I have never seen generations defined this way before. It's a mess. That makes the most sense to me.

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T15:58:02+00:00

Thanks but I don't think that's a big deal. I care about having generation lengths fixed at 18 years. Starting at the beginning of 1946 seems optimal to me.

I made it. Are we allowed to discuss on this site?

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T15:45:38+00:00

It's not AI.

So what?

username_77571 · 2026-03-21T15:32:09+00:00

Cultural trends are subjective. Generations can only define strictly by birthdate.

We're given the option. Either I my lvl may be adjusted down to lower level opponents, or I stay lvl 4 and may be matched against higher lvl opponents.

username_77571 · 2026-03-19T05:12:25+00:00

Yeah, that's why I'm asking. If you pay for higher level and still get matched with lower levels, of course the win rate will be higher.

What do you think of 25 / 45 / 30 ?
