The problem I see with these labels is when you try and apply them globally. Looking at your 'imprints' (I like the term), you are probably a couple of years older than me, but me being born in europe, the list of imprints and experiences are totally different. For example, people in my year were the first born in democracy in my country, my childhood is full of examples of people revelling in the new-found freedom with new genres of music and fashion coming and going, access to more than the state's tv channels and things like that. However, you and I are labeled GenX, even though our imprints are totally different (for me, Reagan was a just a face on the tv screen). When I compare my 'imprint' with colleagues from other european countries, they are totally different too (some come from communist countries, others from established democracies). So how come, if our imprints are all so different, we are all labeled with the same term and expected to have similar perceptions of anything?
