Generational Privilege

a phenomenon that occurs when you have an unbroken chain of ancestors going back several generations, who have never experienced oppression, that prevents you from acknowledging the possibility that oppression may still exist for other social groups besides your own.

generational appropriation

When someone, usually a millennial or gen z, takes styles from generations past and claims it is original.
When styles from past generations come back into fashion. Must be from an older generation being worn by a younger person.
Girl one: oh my god, look how original this new outfit is, some standard 90s attire I am starting something amazing!
Girl two: your mom literally wore that same outfit, this is generational appropriation !

Generational Privilege

A myth. Used by far-left advocates as a way to make people think they’re being oppressed in America, despite everyone enjoying similar equal rights under the Constitutional Amendments. Also used to shame anyone who happens to be descended from Europeans; as well as a buzzword used to defend criminals by saying it’s not they’re fault that they commit crime, they’ve been “oppressed.”
Omg! Can you believe that criminal who robbed a bank at gunpoint just got shot?! Those whitey cops just can’t see past their generational privilege!!

Pan-generational

Pan-generational" also known as, "omnigenerational" The definition, an individual who does not associate or fit within their natural born generational time range, but who may have characteristics of multiple generations or none of them. For example, a generation X born between 1965 - 1980, who identifies and has work ethics more closely matching that of a millenial but may also identify as a baby boomer in their lifestyle outlook or intrinsic characteristics. One size does not fit all as they identify unequally or intermixed between different generations. Submitted by AngelAnn Smith MSN, RN-BC 3/2/2017.
