Yeah, no..... Some stupid retard decided to lump Generation Y with the Millennials.... There is a huge difference between the two, Gen Ys HATE Millennials with a passion. I don't know how the fuck someone who was born in the early 80s can be lumped in with someone born in the 90s. There's a HUGE difference in mentality in just 10 years apart. For example, selfies weren't part of my generation, nor were cell phones or internet. I didn't have internet or a computer until my senior year in high school, and didn't have a cell phone until after that. It just wasn't commonplace, and people actually hung out and talked with one another. My generation also fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. How the fuck can that be lumped in with millennials... the same people I interview for positions at my workplace? The difference between being born and raised in the 80s into the 90s, and being born and raised in the 90s into the 2000s and 2010s is absolutely massive. If anything, millenials should be birth years 1990 to 2005ish. |

My maternal grandad was born in '25 and he served in the Air Corps.
My dad was born in '47 and is certainly not a hippie, he would be more like the silent generation. I was born in '83 and I will not identify as a millennial under any circumstances. Gen X for me.

Still going with GI, they really stepped up at home and abroad when needed. I beleive if faced with similar circumstanses other generations would have done the same but given the fact that they did makes them the greatest among the living atm. imo anyway.

The term "millennial" was coined in 1987 and referred to those born in 1982 and after (basically, those in either primary or secondary school at the turn of the millennium).
The term "generation y" was coined in 1993 (yes, 6 years after "millenials") and referred to those 11 years old or younger. Notice that those who were 11 in 1993 were born in 1982. Millennial and Gen Y are identical. |

Your "generations" are all messed up. A generation is one 18 year-cycle; the time it takes for the first babies born in the generation to become adults. Then you start a new generation.
In addition, most people consider the "GI Generation" to extend from 1910 to 1927. If you turned 18 years old during WWII, then you were part of the GI Generation; most high school grads got drafted in 1945. Plus the "Baby Boom Generation" is named after the post war baby boom that occurred when horny young American men, fresh from destroying Fascism and Imperialism (but not Communism ), came home, got married, and created babies en masse. The Baby Boom goes from 1946 to 1964.

It's funny that people try to define any of the generations by what wars they fought in.
The percentage of the population that goes into the military is small, like really small. Even in WW2 less than 10% served and over 60% of them were drafted. It's silly to try to characterize an entire generation by their military service. |
