In his view, generationalism is simply bad science. Generationalism has become the basis for sweeping explanations and diagnoses that ignore historical detail and the complex political structures underlying social phenomena. Generationalism is an accessible and relatable way to make sense of social identities, and in this way is similar to astrology.
