Generation Y

The crop of young adults born between the early 1980's and mid-1990's. Their childhood was spent mostly indoors playing video games or watching cable or satellite TV with over 100 channels to choose from at any time. They mature into teenagers faster than their predecessors, but also take longer to get on their own, fully mature, buy a house, marry, and raise a family. Many of the middle-class Generation Y'ers grew up with parents that constantly monitored them, kept them enrolled in after school activities, and wouldn't let them play outside unsupervised. The early ones grew up with internet during their teen years and the later ones grew up with a computer in almost every household. Childhood obesity became a major problem with this generation. They rely on praise and positive feedback to be able to function in school and the world. They're less likely to party hard, do drugs, have premarital sex, and engage in risky activity like the Generation X'ers and Baby Boomers. Those who don't go to college are a minority.

private sector

The real world of employment. White-collar workers in the private sector are usually either self-serving pricks that exploit subordinates or office drones that just try to go about their business and suck it up. And the blue-collar workers are those that break their backs working for slave wages just so they can pay their bills and put food on the table. Politics are rampant with most private sector companies that only take care of those that are friends of the boss or management.

OK Boomer

A very dismissive and tired catchphrase only a year old used on social media with memes by the unsocial and smartphone-addicted Generation Z that have no interest in associating with or listening to old people (over 40) or how things used to be, even though today’s Boomers are all between 60 and 80 today. The phrase has been a success at offending older folks on social media wanting their voices heard and respect.

Boomer: When I was growing up, we were outside all day. We drank out of the water hose, rode our bikes all over the neighborhood, and didn’t come home until the street lights came on.

Z’er: OK Boomer!
