Genderalisation 

Any statement that exploits gender stereotypes, such as "Single mothers have difficulty finding childcare that suits their work hours." As if all single-parents are female and only female single parents have trouble finding suitable childcare arrangements. They can also be statements that insinuate all members of a gender are responsible for crimes committed by only a small percentage of people from that gender. Genderalisations usually help to maintain a gender stereotype that females benefit from.
To say that men and boys must learn not to rape is a typical genderalisation.

Generation Generalization 

When one generalizes an entire generation without knowing the fact that not all the people within a specific generation fit most negative stereotypes about them. This is especially used against the Millennials and Gen Z'ers.
Non-Millennial: All Millennials are so PC it hurts.

Millennial: Uh, I'm part of Generation Y and I don't even give two shits about political correctness.

Non-Millennial: Really?

Millennial: Yeah. Instead of going with generation generalization, how about we all just stop generalizing the hell out of different generations and actually work together to make this world a much better place for us to live in.

Town generalization 

When you are generalized for the town you live in and not for your actual circumstances. Usually very annoying for people who get generalized this way. A lower middle class person may be just able to afford a small apartment or house in a rather affluent area and then they get generalized as rich. Or a rich kid may live in a decent neighborhood of what is considered a bad area. These rich kids usually use this to make themselves seem hard or ghetto while the kids with the opposite problem are tired of the generalizations.
Wealthy kids who happen to live in okay areas of Mount Vernon, parts of the Bronx, Queens or Brooklyn are seen as hood but a kid who lives in a one bedroom apartment with his whole family who just happens to live in some wealthier town in Westchester of Long Island is considered soft. town generalization sucks

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
