Talk:First-generation Untergangers/@comment-4356266-20170201054855

I've dug the old DPF to find when and who started the discussion on the generations. Turns up nothing, but at least we know Echoes started this page.

The way first and second generations were defined are very comprehensive. There's an event that marks the start or end, there are plenty of new developments that came to identify the generations and plenty of time given for those to surface, and we've had much better discussions.

Beginning with the third gen, this all came apart as successive 'gangers try and separate themselves from their immediate predecessor. The net result is that the narrative was not as rich as was the case for 1st and 2nd. No defining development, no landmark event, nothing notable.
