From the Oxford English dictionary:
> generation | dʒɛnəˈreɪʃ(ə)n |
> noun
> • the average period, generally considered to be about thirty years, in which children grow up, become adults, and have children of their own: the same families have lived here for generations.

I think you already covered that with "Anyone can claim the situation has changed, every year". Think back over 30 years and tell me there weren't big changes then too.
If you say to me "once in a generation" and you're over 40 then I'm going to hold you to it. You didn't come down in the last shower.
