I thought at first this was just describing how each generation is but its a bit more abstract than that: these are the kinds of memes they make.
Boomers are how theyre better than you
Gen X is dad jokes
Millennials is life sux
Gen z is absurdist like HONSE
monty python were boomer humor. there's not a lot of air between "honse" and "the fish slapping dance"
That was British humor specifically.
See Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett for more. Even Rowan Atkinson.
Okay, I guess they were all boomers, but still!
