According to social researcher Mark McCrindle in his book 'The ABC of XYZ: Understanding the Global Generations' (www.mccrindle.com.au), this is what we can expect the next generation to be called. Given the fact that the generational span has contracted significantly from 20-25 years to 15 years, he also predicts that the next generation is due to begin in 2010.
So, why 'Beta'? With generational analysis having moved from a stage of foundation to consolidation, a more predictable labelling system is being formed. There being consensus on the alphabetised theme of Generations X, Y and Z, it is most likely that the next generation will be Generation Alpha (the first letter of the Greek alphabet). This nomenclature of moving to the Greek alphabet after exhausting the Latin one (A, B, C, D etc), has a long history with meteorologists. In fact, scientists of all disciplines use the Greek alphabet as a labelling sequence and so it looks likely that the sociologists will follow this trend with the generations too.

A male that is subpar in physical physique and mental capacity making him inferior to other men. The typical beta boi is non confrontational and avoids any kind of dispute. In the presence of an Alpha male, the beta boi subjects himself to the commands of his superior.
When I was lifting the other day a beta boi accidentally bumped into me, he promptly wet himself and left immediately.
While hitting a gnarly chest sesh at the gym I noticed a beta boi was hogging the bench. I promptly made passive aggressive eye contact with him using several mirrors, causing the beta boi to immediately renounce the sacred gym equipment to me.

Jona-beta is the face of darkness, resigned to his fate after losing the Caste wars and being banished to the shadow realm (with his fraternal twin Okonkwo). Some of his powers include but are not limited to shadow traveling, blending into dark spaces, emitting a strong magnetic field from his body that attracts bullets from all law enforcement owned weaponry, being first on the affirmative action list.
