[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 8859250, member: 2205"] Gen Y was the obvious name to call a generation that followed Gen X. Your description of Millennial sounds like something a Boomer would say, but what "Old Ways"? The "Old Ways" that the Boomers created after they themselves broke from the Old Ways? I often think that Boomers and Millennials tend to butt heads so much because they're actually so much alike and they see reflections of each other in their counterparts. Except that, for some reason, it's cool when they're the ones doing it and lame when it's the other generation doing the same thing. Meanwhile, us Gen-Xers are sitting here quietly on the sidelines commiserated with our Gen-Y younger brothers and sisters about the mess that Boomers and Millennials have created, shaking our heads and doing our own thing. It's been estimated that up to a third of Gen-X was aborted. I wonder if things would have been different had our generation been nearly 50% bigger, but I guess we'll never know. In the meantime, Boomers and Millennials suck up all of the attention, so much so that they've literally planted their flag like conquerors in generations adjacent to them; Boomers have swallowed up Generation Jones, at least according to marketing and cultural pundits, and Millennials have swallowed up Gen Y. Because nobody seems to know what to say about them. They don't know what to say about Gen-Xers other than that we're supposedly cynical, but we're too far removed from either for anyone to suggest folding us in to some other generation. [/QUOTE]
