(n) in opposition to, "The Greatest Generation" (which refers to the Americans who fought in, and won, WWI) and refers to the teens that are alive in the year
2012.
They are considered the worst generation of all
time, as they have grown up with
Facebook, Stickam, high-speed internet, smartphones, 100+ cable TV channels, NetFlix, etc. -- all which have led them to a sedentary lifestyle which has contributed to their laziness, obesity, lack of social skills, sense of entitlement, etc.
They have seen celebrity teens become famous, and rich, overnight and before their eyes, and they seem to feel that they deserve to have the same fame and fortune... which leads many of them to
cop a
diva attitude.
I tried to get
Tanisha and Britney to go
golfing with us, but they have their faces glued to their
Facebook pages and "Keeping up with the Kardashians", and they basically told me to eff off.
"What do you expect? They're part of The Worst Generation."
