POLL: Debunking this myth about Baby Boomers also reveals something about Gen Z [View all]
Theres nearly a 50-year age gap between the oldest Baby Boomer and the youngest member of Gen Z. And for years weve heard how different these generations can be, from how they spend their money to how they work to how they use emojis.
Weve seen OK Boomer trend on TikTok as Gen Z criticized their elders, and heard Boomers retort that younger generations should stop whining.
But Baby Boomers and Gen Z have something in common thats often overlooked: Bias is shaping the way we talk about them, allowing stereotypes and myths to drown out facts and reality.
Its an important point the president of the Pew Research Center made in a recent post. And its worth unpacking, because it has big implications for how we can better understand huge swaths of the US population and the countrys political future.
