Nonsense. Cultural history transferrence is a thing, I did not have to have watched Gilligan’s Island or the Honeymooners to get the references in every 80s tv show, it became clear from the context and its own meta joke.

So no, just like a GenX-er did not need to have been a Baby Boomer to undestand the “One of these days Alice, Bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon!” reference, a Gen Z-er can quite easily get references about Gen X series from the frequency and context they encounter them.

Create guides for boomers

lol. Babyboomers and Gen X invented and built the internet. We programmed VCR’s and could navigate dial-up settings for v90modems. Maybe write a guide for gen Z, as anything more complex than a swipe is too much technology for them XD
