"Bicycle Helmet Generation", a term crowned by American Standup Comedian Bill Burr used to describe Generation Z (Zoomers). The term comes from the need to overcompensate for safety, and thus sacrifice the fun that the activity originally had. Which is something that most people in Generation Z had to grow up with, usually enforced by their parents. This obsession with over-the-top safety is a key characteristic of what defines the generation that's well known for being too sheltered. This is characterized by Byclicle helmets in which most children are forced to wear for "their own good". This being a key sample where excessive safety measures have taken the place of fun, in what should have been a free and spontaneous activity. This is also characterized by overprotectiveness, and a parent/guardians' general fear to give their child the slightest bit of autonomy.
Why were what should have been the fun physical activities of my childhood so boring and vapid?
I guess that's because I grew up in the Bicycle Helmet Generation

Get the Jerk master generalmug. Kids born as early as 2010, and as late as 2028. the newest generation.
there is a stereotype out of them that they watch Cocomelon on Youtube Kids' with a dirty Ipad 24/7.
In reality, some of them are just now getting on the Internet, especially Zalphas (in between Z and Alpha) and some do go outside.
They are the first Generation to be born to not know life before the iPhone or iPad.
