Generation X

A book by the Canadian author Douglas Coupland, thought to epitomize a particularly jaded and ironic generation of slackers.

Life in a Coma and Shampoo Planet totally sucked. Generation X is his best book.

generation z

A cohort of a group of people born form Generation X. The demographic boom of Generation Y took place between 1980-1994. Therefore anyone born in 1994 or after, the most common ending date being 2010, is a member of Generation Z. They do not recall much of the events of the 9/11 attacks and grew up in the technology boom of the late 90's and early 2000's. Unlike Generation Y, they did not grow up recalling the Cold War era and were born in the post years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Generation Alpha

The generation after generation z. Generation Alpha's parents mainly consist of Millennial and Generation X.
This generation will be grown up by watching Spider man and Elsa videos on YouTube and learning how to dab like Jake Paul. No one has no idea what this generation will be up too. Born in 2010's.

Mother: My kid was born in 2013
Grandpa: Guess he's one of those Gen Alphas who will turn me young again with future tech
Generation Alpha is the 2010's kids dab yeet

Generation X

American pop cultural reference to the population of those born between 1965 and 1977(to include any year in the 1980s is INACCURATE), holding the distinction of being the first American generation born into divorce, moral cultural decline, well as major technical advances.

The starting point of 1965 is chosen by virtue of its status of the first year of the drop-off from the baby booming pattern that had long been running prior to it.

Kurt Cobain was considered the musical voice of Generation X.

The lost generation

The clueless masses that occupied our cities and had no clue what direction they were headed in

The lost generation was occupying McDonald's last night.

mass shooting generation

The generation of young people in school between Columbine and Parkland massacres, where mass shootings have become commonplace.

After Parkland the mass shooting generation finally said enough is enough and with the leadership of student activist have taken on the NRA and Republican and Democratic representatives that have been restrained by NRA and their cronies. NRA policies have had priority over gun safety and those advocating background checks, mental health screening, and limitations on firepower.

generation k

Americans born between approximately 1977 and 1987.

A subculture distanced from Generations X and Y.

From "K," short for "fuck," "fuck-up," in baseball, "strike out."

"I've read about the way you Generation K kids use irony..." - Douglas Coupland
