Describes mostly older generations (boomers and older) who have difficulties adapting to modern society with its changing values, new technology and younger generations.
Origin:
Borrowed from German "Wellblech-Generation" (literally: corrugated-sheet-generation)
While boomers still tend to name millennials "generation Y" (modest reference to themselves), millennials fought back, and renamed the older generations.
It refers to a parable about the difference between the generations: "While we millennials and younger build real houses, they boomers and older still build theirs with corrugated sheets only."

You're so outdated, you clearly belong to the corrugated-sheet-generation.
Why would you not care about others? That's totally corrugated sheet like.

all people who were born in the mid to late eighties, and grew up in the nineties. during this generation the Clinton administration was dealing with the impeachment sex-scandal. President Clinton stated that oral sex was not "really sex" this resulted in young americans becoming more comfortable with the idea of sex, and sexual activity. The Sex Generation's more liberal approach to sexual activity resulted in the once conservative culture of the united state becoming more open-minded.
