Talking About My Generation!

We are bombarded with talk about what 'generation' people belong to and all the stereotypes that come with that. I'm sure you can list at least a dozen of these stereotypes off the top of your head. So let's talk about it! How much does being born in a certain period influence your beliefs and tastes? What part does pop culture play in this? Will we lose it as pop culture becomes so diverse? Is it all nonsense that we are buying into because it can be used to sell things to us and possibly pit us against each other?

I came across a cute little podcast that got me thinking about this topic again. I've been promising to do a meetup on it for years, but listening to this sparked the timing for now. It doesn't directly address head on but mentions it and allows you to obverse the new generation coming up and how they perhaps react to things a little differently. Or do they? It's Search Engine's "The Stupid Little Yogurt Question" - you can find it on the show's webpage at this link or search it up on whatever app you use to listen to podcasts on your phone. It will give us a place to start the conversation.

Here's a good page from the Pew Research Center that gives a good overview on the subject.

Looking forward to hearing about things you've learned and your thoughts on all this. Post any resources that you think would be interesting to check out in the chat section for this event.
