It can be useful for helping determine overall socioeconomic trends during each of the discrete (albeit arbitrary) time periods, but it's often used more as a divisive weapon against each generation (us vs them) rather than for making informed decisions, which is where the problem with it lies IMO.

I don't think the entire concept of grouping people into generations is a useful one.
