Generation Y

Educated dishwashers.

Parents told them to educate theirselves.

Employers told them to go f*** theirselves.

Now that's what Generation Y is about!

ninja turtle generation

Those born between years 1983-1990, not later, maybe a year or two earlier.

It's no wonder the rest of the world is so fucked up, they weren't born in the Ninja Turtle Generation.

Sandwich Generation

Those Baby Boomers sandwiched between the need to care for their dependent children and the responsibility of caring for their older parents. As noted by social researcher Mark McCrindle (www.mccrindle.com.au), this sandwich generation arises from the combined trends of delayed childbirth, the delayed financial independence of children, and the increasing life expectancy of the older generation.

"Still caring for kids and have your parents living with you? That would make you and your husband members of the Sandwich Generation."

Generation Alpha

Generation Alpha are the generation of children born between the early 2010s and mid 2020s (this is my estimate - not a confirmed fact). They are the Generation succeeding Generation Z, and preceding Generation Beta. They are normally the children of Millennials or older Generation Z. The oldest members of Generation Alpha may be children of Generation X. They are usually the grandchildren of baby boomers or older members of Gen X.

Unlike Gen Z, Generation Alpha will have no memory of the pre - smartphone era (this era began in about 2012). They have entertainment at their fingertips, since most adults now own a Netflix account.

They will have been educated in a different way to previous generations, since they have been aided by computer technology in most lessons for their entire life, unlike Generation Z, who will have recieved this partway through their school career.

They may be less cautious with hygiene than older generations, since they would have been too young to understand the Coronavirus when it happened, or they may not remember it at all.

This generation is, as of the time of writing this, too young to have culture, so it is hard to say what humour they will appreciate. However, with easy access to YouTube, just like Gen Z, they will probably develop a Random XD sense of humor (eg. The E or Hey 🅱️eter).

Generation Alpha will be the first generation to spend more than half of their childhood in the Post - Coronavirus Economy.

Offbeat Generation

The Offbeat Generation is a loose association of like-minded writers working across different styles but united by their opposition to a mainstream publishing industry driven by marketing departments. The term was coined by Andrew Gallix in 3:AM Magazine in February 2006 -- as a pun on the Beat Generation (see: beat poetry) but more likely to be associated with the Chemical generation immediately before it (who were anthologized at the Repetitive Beat Generation also).

The Offbeat Generation plays a large part in the e-zeitgeist.
