Leaded Generation

The name of the demographic cohort between the "Silent" generation and "Generation X," currently called the "Baby Boomer" generation. After the waning of Baby Boomer political power, approx 2030-2040, the newly predominant Millennial generation will update the name of the Baby Boomer generation to the Leaded Generation.

This new name will describe the generation's selfish and misguided behavior, as well imply the causal link between poor decision making and exposure to lead sources (such as lead paint and leaded gas) which were common pollutants prior to the Clean Air Act and other regulatory action.
1) Many families owned homes before the Leaded Generation ruined it for everyone.

2) "Freedom for me but not for thee" - Common Leaded Generation adage

Lead-Paint Job

From Tidewater Pidgin and Qarsherskiyan English, a Lead-Paint Job means a shooting. It is inferred that paint means blood and lead means lead bullets in this case, when pondering the origin of the term, which first surfaced by at least 1998 in downtown Newport News, VA from the slang and terminology of a now irrelevant gang that was mostly comprised of Qarsherskiyan Vodou practitioners.
