This is what I find conflicting about titles. I feel that I should be able to look
at any image for what it is and disregard whatever preconception the title
provides.

But it doesn't always work that way. In this one, I keep searching for some
association with "Generation". All the subjects are roughly of the same age,
or generation, but that is not something that identifies the image. You might
as well title it "Clothed" because they all have clothes on.

Assuming there's anyone here that agrees with this, what would a better
title be?

I dig the image and believe the title appropriate and perhaps part of the game. While the primary subject looks as though he fell out of 1967 further inspection reveals that this is modern (for me it's the standing guy right behind him with a silly stringed hat). So, it's a Generation, but perhaps not the one you think?
