"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 Generation Alpha mug.The name of the demographic cohort between the "Silent" generation and "Generation X," currently called the "Baby Boomer" generation. After the waning of Baby Boomer political power, approx 2030-2040, the newly predominant Millennial generation will update the name of the Baby Boomer generation to the Leaded Generation.
This new name will describe the generation's selfish and misguided behavior, as well imply the causal link between poor decision making and exposure to lead sources (such as lead paint and leaded gas) which were common pollutants prior to the Clean Air Act and other regulatory action.

1) Many families owned homes before the Leaded Generation ruined it for everyone.
2) "Freedom for me but not for thee" - Common Leaded Generation adage

Get the Leaded Generation mug.Generation Gamma, abbreviated as "Gen Gamma" will be the generation succeeding Generation Beta, and will be born between 2040 and 2054, though other sources date Generation Gamma to as late as the late 2060s. The generation to succeed Generation Gamma will be Generation Delta.
Yeah, my grandparents are Zoomers (Gen Z), but I'm, like, three generations ahead of them because I'm part of Generation Gamma. I was born in 2045.

Get the Generation Gamma mug.A theory of anthropology in which disproportionately female-inherited genetic variation causes a culture to adopt a fatalistic (spectralistic) religion; whereas disproportionately male-inherited genetic variation causes a tribe to adopt a deterministic (particularistic) religion.
Generative determinism demonstrates that anti-semitism is ontologistic.
Generative determinism resolves GENETIC determinism.
Genetic determinism furthermore proves that ontologism IS causation.
