      I guess it depends on how restrictive your parents were with TV access, Millennials born between 1990 and 1995 could have easily seen Married with Children and then Futurama and understood the reference from a young age, but Gen Z wouldn’t be very likely to see Married with Children at all, and I dispute the existence of a Gen Alpha yet because there is no way Gen Z are old enough to have kids with opinions in any sizeable demographic so therefor it isn’t a generational gap.

        I am refiering to generation alpha. (2010 on since there is not really an agreed on date.)

          To be Gen Alpha you must be the child of Gen Z who had to be the child of Millennials.

          So if you agree that a millennial was born in 1980 and had kids at 18 who then had a kid at 18 then a Gen Alpha would be like 6 or 7 years old maximum.

              Listen if there is no generational gap between you and boomers, then you’re just a Gen X, mate. One generation to the next, no skipping.

                  Do you know what the word Generation means? Literally in no other context is it defined that way, but you’re using Wikipedia as a source so clearly I don’t expect you to have any learning capacity at this point. Maybe you really are Gen Alpha at your mommy’s tablet.

                    Ok, I think this is just trolling at this point. No way someone can make this argument in good faith AND throw out that weak of an insult.
