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

Neighborhood generalization
When someone generalizes your life based on a neighborhood you lived in at one point or another and doesn't take the time to think about that not everyone in a neighborhood does not make the same income, act the same or live in the same type of housing that most in that neighborhood might live in. Neighborhood generalization
Kid 1: where you from?
Kid 2: I'm from Brooklyn but I moved to Westchester when I was 7.
Kid 1: oh Westchester, your so rich.i stayed in the borroughs till I was out of high school.
Kid 2: no actually we had one of the smallest houses in the area and I could not afford half of what the other kids had. My parents did it for the better schools. Btw your house in the city cost more than mine. And you drove a Ferrari. Neighborhood generalization

Hasty Generalization is the new One-off case
A streamlined version of the same concept, highlighting the direct substitution in rhetorical strategy. As the old phrase loses credibility from overuse, the pseudo-sophisticated fallacy label becomes the fresh vocabulary for the same agenda: pattern denial. It upgrades the software of obstruction from folk wisdom to Logic Bro™ terminology without changing the core function.
Hasty Generalization is the new One-off case Example: Community members present five recent toxic chemical spills from the same factory. The corporate PR statement reads: "These unfortunate incidents are being wrongly linked. To claim a systemic problem is to commit the Hasty Generalization fallacy. Each is being investigated as a unique, one-off case." The new term dresses up the old dismissal in academic drag.
