Interesting term. I found this to be a bit narrow,
"the young type, still in college, who might have all the gadgets but not that much money, and someone in later life, late 20s and early 30s, who has more money to spend and carries an iPod and a digital camera."
vs. someone in the long gone life, late 30's and early 40s.
