Oregon Trail generation

Americans born during the Generation X and Generation Y (Millennial) overlap, generally 1977-1983. They can either be viewed as tail-end Generation Xers or very early Millennials, but some members prefer to be addressed as neither. Named after The Oregon Trail, an educational computer game fondly remembered by many born during these years. Also known as Xennials or Generation Catalano.

Person 1: "Are you a Millennial or Generation Xer?"
Person born in 1981: I'm part of the Oregon Trail generation.

Microwave Generation

Describing our fascination with instant gratification. Cell phones, txt/sms messages, and email.

As members of the microwave generation we have become so impatient, we find ourselves standing in front of the microwave tapping our foot yelling "Come on 15 seconds!"

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.

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."
