GENERATION Y

The Silent Generation are people born before 1946. 
The Baby Boomers are people born between 1946 and 1959. 
Generation X are people born between 1960 and 1989. 
Generation Y are people born between 1990 and now. 
Why do we call the last one generation Y? 
I did not know, but a cartoonist explains it eloquently below...Learned something new today

  • Ass raping has never been easier.
  • yep
  • Lol, the Gen years are super off...
  • hippies and disco are not part of generation X and the past ten years has been the millennial generation. However, an apt description of generation Y.
  • Thank god i'am gen x
  • whY not
  • Generation X was 61-80, Generation Y was 81-93. Talk to any sociologist.
  • The Boom did not end until '64.
  • I'm a "Baby Boomer" from Ireland, condoms were a sin in Catholic Ireland back then.
  • Ive Always heard that the 1990s to now were the iGeneration.
  • its anew beginning
  • Black people!
  • ha
  • I think it's funny that adults think that of teenagers. When in reality, the majority of teens are not like this
  • Está tudo explicado:-)
  • its not "generation Y" the common term for the generation born from 1990-present is "millennials"
  • hahaha i forgot i was a diffrent generation. no wonder i hate dubstep
  • People born from 1990 till now are the XXL generation
  • The new one should be the iGeneration. Kinda like a play offa the "Me generation" in the 70's-80's era.
  • Job outsourcing. Systematic Political Corruption and Breakdown. Corporate Greed an scandal. Unnecessary and Expensive Wars. Education System breakdowns, and unhealthy foods being contracted to High Schools thus feeding the obesity epidemic. Stupid ex-feminists actually surprised to not find partners and so create families in their mid-thirties after spending their lives trying to replace men and screaming "We Don't Need Men!". I could go on...but all these problems plus more isnt the result of Gen Y. Gen Y is a creation of a broken system, full with morons and idiots with limited intelligence and heart. The truth is hard to handle...so idiots lavish themselves with all sorts of nonsense that disguises and hides the truth..and the true shame. I know that picture was a joke..but still.
  • Baby Boomers were between 1944 and 1964 to be precise. Gen X 1965 to 85, Gen Y 86 to present
  • :D
  • it's called generation y as in why bother.
  • every generation has their stupid things they do like hair styles and clothes
  • Generation Y represent! Haha although I must say, so many people need to learn how to use a belt, OR how to buy properly sized pants. xD
