An established(ie: long used) term referring to WW2 vets, however, it was self given(I think..) and is generally used in one of two ways...
1)arrogantly, often something along the lines of the first definition for this word(^)
2)by pacifists who wish to not seem that way or who wish to not be thought of as ungrateful

Get the Generation X mug.by Biscuithead2006 May 31, 2018
Get the worst generation mug.The kind of label Gen Xers are supposed to reject.
Some folks who grew up during the eighties, survived, surprisingly, even Wham!, and who at least initially weren't quite as thrilled at the prospect of becoming wage slaves and didn't dream quite as much of a life in the 'burbs as they had been expected to.
In reality nothing close to a majority of a whole generation or even age cohort ever had any resemblance to the stereotype. Wham! still sold a lot of records. Then came underwear with ostentatiously displayed brand name, and heroin chic in tow, so pervading a trend it's not necessary to mention the name of the brand and effects of the anorexic plague are still with us. So much for “generation”, “market savvy”, “anti-consumerist” and "anti-materialistic" at least as far as a whole generation is concerned.

"Whenever I say something old-fashioned to my teenage sons, they just look at me in a totally befuddled way and then generation gape at me in wide-eyed wonder. 'Oh Dad, please!' is what they are thinking, I'm sure!"

Get the generation gape mug.The term used to apply to those who have come of age recently who, instead of taking deliberate steps to fight real or misperceived injustice and protesting appropriately, cry into their devices about how the world that they live in and can certainly exert control over is not fair and that the other side is completely wrong.
