Da Baby Boomers a Gen Z: La (finta) scienza delle generazioni tra miti, marketing e realtà

We're the children of #BabyBoomers who demand we worship the #SummerOfLove and their #antiwar and their #EarthDay, #CivilRights, and #Feminism, yet everything the #MeGeneration did in subsequent years put the lie to all of that.
