If you feel muddled by this alphabet soup of names, it is easy to see why there is so much confusion about generational cohorts.
While some individuals are special and do not follow the trend, many appear hyper-individualistic or resistant to responsibility beyond themselves and some in their inner circle, while others are deeply collective and cause-driven. The bottom line is most don’t shive-a-git.
SOCIAL MEDIA & BOOZE

Social media and alcohol claim to bring people together, but in many cases, it's the opposite. Designed to connect the world, it frequently amplifies hostility, rewards division, and gives a megaphone to negative messaging.

but all in vain. The decree has gone forth, and it cannot be recalled,
that a more equal liberty than has prevailed
in other parts of the earth
must be established in America.”
-John Adams

Unfortunately, social media has certainly changed our lives and the landscape of how we interact and perceive each other.
With the exception of LinkedIn, I have decided to leave Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, among others. It can feel like it amplifies divisions and makes it harder to find common ground. The rapid spread of information and opinions, combined with the ability to curate our feeds to echo our beliefs, can create echo chambers and magnify conflicts.
