"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 Bicycle Helmet Generation mug.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.

Get the Jerk master general mug.Hell on earth. Despite being depicted as a "4 days out in nature and growing with god" it is anything but that. Usually occuring between May and August of a given year, GENERATE will first take $450 out of you. Once you arrive in the middle of nowhere, you are greeted with run-down trailors, usually not air conditioned and smell awful. The first day, youre belongings get confencated by GENERATE. You are taken to a holding cell and one of the staff verbally abuses you. The next thing is you are stripped like Elan Schools. Dehumanization is a common thing in YM360's "summer camps". On day 2 you are forced to do backbreaking labour such as mining for Rubidium for their road cyclists or construction. Waken up at 4 am and worked till 11pm and given little to no food, this is how GENERATE YM360 treats its visitours. for day 3 and 4, it is backbreaking labour or gas chambers that run on zyklon B. on average 60% of participants die from exaustion, gas chambers, or beatings.
Colin: Lets go to GENERATE 2023!!!!
Chad: no, iv been there. its hell on earth. Generate Camp by YM360 is hell on earth, with brainwashing, harassment, and backbreaking labor. I was nearly sent to the gas chamber once.

Get the GENERATE Camp by YM360 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.

Get the generative determinism mug.Refers to the astonished stare that you assume when taste-testing two or more brands of a particular supermarket-offering and unexpectedly discover that you actually **prefer** the lower-priced store-brand (which traditionally would be expected to have a "weaker 'n' thinner" flavor/texture), rather than a costlier "big name" product.
Being on SSI and Food Stamps and thus having a very-limited budget, I am used to just buying the "el-cheapo" store-brand of groceries whenever I can stand their usually-milder-tasting flavors. Occasionally I do "splurge" and buy the pricier "fancy-pants" foods, though, when the taste is dramatically better, such as Nutella hazelnut spread or Armour Vienna sausage. One startling exception to this latter condition, though, was in the case of Dinty-Moore beef stew as opposed to just the Great Value brand... I bought a can of DM just to try it out in comparison to the WalMart brand, and I had a total case of generic-grocery gawk --- the Dinty-Moore brand was absolutely a-w-f-u-l, whereas the richly-tasty Great Value stew won hands-down! Boy, ya never know till ya try it, do ya???
