Are you saying every human alive today belongs to the same generation? That's not how it works.

I'm not defining terms; I'm repeating how the terms are defined. You can look it up in any dictionary. After that, if you still feel like arguing about it I'm not your opponent. You can contact Mrs. Mirriam-Webster, or Mr. Oxford, etc. Please post the exchange! Maybe the argument, "That's not how it works," will convince them.

Since you mentioned Webster... See definition "1.b" for the most common meaning of the term when people are talking about human generations (Millennials, boomers, anything that starts with "Gen"). Context matters.
