Jackpot Generation

A generation of Americans which lived off the good fortunes inherited from the hard-work and success of their parent's generation, but squandered these good fortunes, thus, leaving their own children's generation nothing. (i.e. the baby boomer generation)

Young Person #1: "I heard that instead of fixing social security for all Americans, the baby boomers are going to vote to cut Social Security benefits for just the younger American's, so they can receive full benefits for themselves in their retirement years."

Young Person #2: "Yep!. Sounds like the Jackpot Generation is up to their old tricks--squander a social program for their benefit, thus leaving nothing for the future generations of Americans."

generation why

Generation why is a phrase first introduced to most commoners like me in Conan Grays song Generation why. Its used to describe the existential dread that most youth face and has become even more popular during the Covid19 Pandemic, because of all the teen angst having to be represented mostly, if not completely online. Generation why is almost used as an insult towards genz, thanks to the name comming from what Conan interpreted the older generations opinions on us to be. But if we're being honest, the lyrics bring us some kind of collective peace with it...

we are the worthless, cursed with too much time.
We get into trouble and lose our minds.
Something that ive heard a million times in my life

generation why...
