People born between 1995-2002
Aren't Millennials but also can't identify with Gen Z Culture
Many similarities with the Lost Generation born between 1883-1900 who grew up during the aftermath of WWI and The Great Depression. Similarly the Forgotten Generation lived not only through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Great Recession in 2007, but also live in a post 9/11 America that is driven by xenophobia and fear of fascism.
The Lost Generation also experienced a rapid flow of new information just as the Forgotten Gen is experiencing now. The Introduction of many new technological advances is seen in both generations.
Forgotten Gen kids also can relate to the Lost Generation in the sense that they are skeptical of all authority, especially parents, as back then their parents were pushing for the prohibition of alcohol which can be seen mirrored today with the Forgotten Gen pushing for legalization of Marijuana, while our parents tend to be against it.
Many members of both generations have been known to reject more traditional ideas of proper behavior, morality, and gender roles. Both generations are considered to be “lost” due to the tendency to act aimlessly, even recklessly, often focusing on the hedonistic accumulation of personal wealth.
Both the Lost Gen and the Forgotten Gen started exploring its own set of values, ones that clearly went against what their elders had already established.

Get the generation x-box mug.Any generation whose source of cultural identity comes from stealing everything that was popular at least 2 decades ago. The basis for most ideas in music, TV shows, and movies come from other music, TV shows and movies, and are the foundation of what is popular, instead of people coming up with original ideas.
When "The Dukes of Hazzard" made it to the big screen after being off TV for years, you knew without a doubt America was controlled by a Rerun Generation.

Get the Rerun Generation mug.A book of generalizations of the Millennial generation in the United States. Or more specifically, a book about a rise in ignorance and narcissism in society, pinned solely on the Millennial generation. While some parts of the book are informative in terms of digital learning, much of it's just a rant consisting of "Kids these days don't think like I do, therefore they're dumb."
If you want to see the train wreck that is "The Dumbest Generation" for yourself, and it's available at your local library, borrow it. Don't buy it, it's worth about as much as the Zimbabwean dollar circa 2008.

Check out that belligerantly drunk generation P chick with the Coach hand bag and the desire to fellate!

Get the Generation P mug.a dying word since no one born after 1980 identifies him/herself with any specific decade. The word will eventually only be used to refer to advances in technology.
