Name that generation: 21-29

LoYL

We've had the baby boomers, generation x, the super generation, threads about naming your penis and so on. Name the 20 somethings who have been getting such a bad press. They need recognition and their label. Who are they?

Diego Maradona

Praetorian Saighdiuir

The "We had proper Monster Munch and no mobile phones until we were 16" people.

HalloweenJack

The dole generation.

It's probably "The Facebook generation" at this stage though.

I have to say that at nearly 30 I would consider myself to have more in common with the 30 - 35 age group in terms of experiences of growing up in Ireland in my childhood and teens. I think those born after about 1988 would have had a slightly different experience.

We are the MTV generation, we experience neither highs nor lows

Who Is included in your generation?

Downlinz

Came in to say Pokemon Kids.

Taping off radio and MTV were a bit before our time. Dubstep a bit after.

Could also elude to the internet since we were the first generation to grow up with it.

muppetkiller

The 'But I'm entitled' generation :P

al28283

We've been called generation Y since about 1997

We're Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Diego Maradona

The "omg like thats totes amazeballs jacinta" generation.

See this is what I'm talking about. I'm 29 and taping off the radio/MTV were very much my time while I was too old for Pokemon. I don't feel part of this generation at all.

Reminds me as a 12 year, the stories of chatroom child abductions were only finally getting through the mainstream media. I remember my mother saying to me "I hope you aren't going to those chatroom things". I said no having at that stage been a regular on widemouth for 3 years and already having met people off the place. :pac:

Shryke

I'm mid twenties and taped off the radio. Dubstep wouldn't register with me. I think that guy is about the 21 side of things.

I'm 25. I did tape off the radio when I was very young, under-7 kind of young. I remember Nirvana, Beavis and Butthead and other staples of the MTV generation being popular but I was too young for them. Wouldn't say it counts as my generation when my age was single digits at the time, I was using mp3s before I was a teenager so I'd be much more the Napster generation than the cassette recording one.

Yeah, I think it's fairly accepted as Generation Y or Millennials - anyone born from the early '80's to early '00's

Rough round the edges, but yea. I was going to make a boards post but I didn't want to have anything construed as advertising. Also it's only barebones, there's a chatroom up but the boards will be a while yet.

Scanlas The 2nd

I'm 27 years and 214 days old, my generation has more traditional MTV values compared to the 27 years and 213 day old generation but a bit more prone to alcoholism and OCD compared to the 27 years and 215 day generation.

There was no Napster generation, we were all on dial-up! I definitely got more use out of cassettes than you did.
