    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?

    I've heard:
    The Bebo generation
    The Pokemon kids
    Generation Y/Z

    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.

    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.

    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:

    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.
