    Ahhhh, OK - yes, the cultural context is also entirely country-based. All these terms are entirely US-focused. I once went to an “80’s party” that some French people put on, and it was an entirely different thing. To me, more like a late 70’s party, with the plastic and neon US cheese entirely missing.

    I do agree that the washout effect is making generational cohorts obsolete in terms of media - it might just be silly trends that play into memes that have lasting power.
