This is a common American pastime. The funniest thing is that they give "personalities" to these supposed generations. In fact these features have nothing to do with the generation, but with the economic conditions of the time. For example, Americans use to say that Gen Xers don't "like" to own houses, when the reality is that due to the Great Recession they didn't have the same opportunity to own property as their parents.
