What is meant by "Generic" and where do we use them and why are they important

Hello guys, sorry to disturb you all; can someone explain what is meant by "generic" please; does this applies only to OOP concept? or any programming language with collections? Like I know the angular brackets is used to define a generic. But why do we need them? What would happen without generics?
