Tracos I realise you didn't invent them.
I was questioning wny so many people want to categorise everything and anything so much: "Millenials", Gen-Z, now places.
It's quite recent - the last few decades perhaps. Maybe it's not ever so different from the time people were labelled by "working class", etc - which forgets that the so-called "middle class" and indeed many "upper class" do work for a living too.
Thankyou for explaining them though.
Actually I heard something related to that a few days on the radio, although without using sociological terms. Gordon Brown, former British Prime Minister, remarked that one reason for growing isolation was due to people not finding, or perhaps not looking for, social clubs, hobby societies, voluntary work, sports clubs, etc. It's not always their fault of course although some might simply not be interested in anything anyway. he referred to the widespread loss of amenities like youth clubs, public swimming-pools and the like by funding cuts; and also shrinkage of voluntary groups like the Scouts and Women's Institute. .
