Boomer cousin: You're so Generation-X. Why don't you listen to my James Taylor CDs?
Me: I'm already bored.

Get the Generation-X mug.A term used to describe a generation who grew up under a continuous influence of TV (mainly those who were teenagers in the 80s). These kids watched a lot of MTV in particular, hence the name. The term "MTV generation" has a negative connotation to it, because it originated in part as a result of a generational gap. The older generation's skepticism towards the Big Unknown--the TV, helped coin the term. Now, as television gradually gains cross-generational acceptance, the term "MTV generation" is becoming obsolete, since we no longer feel the need to put down those who like to watch TV. What's interesting is that the initial skepticism towards TV is still present in our minds in the form of Mini Guilt that accompanies us every time we watch TV. Indeed, noone wants to admit it, but we all like to watch a "little bit" of TV. And if anyone suggests that we like watching TV, we either vigorously object or automatically deny it.
The older generation's loyalty towards the Tried and the Old and their skepticism towards the New fueled a series of unjust accusations towards the TV "maniacs" (the MTV generation).

Get the generation mug.The real power ranger generations is people born from the mid 1980's, to the early 1990's. When the power rangers first came out (1993), the bulk of the audience was about 5-10 yrs old. That would make them born in 1983 and later. The person above is an idiot since in 1993, his "generation" would be 2yrs old or not even born. Power rangers existed before all the stupid lightspeed, galaxy and whatever else. Mighty Morphin my friend, is the real deal. It was this generation (or more, their parents) who bought the merchandise, bought the toys loved the show.. and basically made Power Rangers what it was.
When I was 8, the Mighty Morphin power rangers came out and was a great show. I haven't followed it since I was about 12, but people around my age group remember asking their parents to buy all the merchandise. The kids born in the 1980's-1990's made the Power Rangers. We are the power ranger generation.
