The current crop of adults born from about 1975 to 1991. The term Boomerang Generation came from the fact that they move back in after graduating from college. This often occurs because they have spent a small fortune in college and cannot even afford to interview, let alone move to another town that has a good job. They are sometimes stuck working menial jobs that are insulting to their intelligence and qualifications. The down side to the Boomerang Generation, is that people in this age bracket will often move home with any minor setback. This is often condoned by parents and is evidence that we as a society have been prolonging adolescence.
In Japan these people are often called parasitic singles.

Many people in the Boomerang Generation move back home for good reasons such as trying to get on their feet after college. Many are also pathetic leeches who do it at the insistence of other people.

Get the Boomerang Generation mug.(n) in opposition to, "The Greatest Generation" (which refers to the Americans who fought in, and won, WWI) and refers to the teens that are alive in the year 2012.
They are considered the worst generation of all time, as they have grown up with Facebook, Stickam, high-speed internet, smartphones, 100+ cable TV channels, NetFlix, etc. -- all which have led them to a sedentary lifestyle which has contributed to their laziness, obesity, lack of social skills, sense of entitlement, etc.
They have seen celebrity teens become famous, and rich, overnight and before their eyes, and they seem to feel that they deserve to have the same fame and fortune... which leads many of them to cop a diva attitude.

I tried to get Tanisha and Britney to go golfing with us, but they have their faces glued to their Facebook pages and "Keeping up with the Kardashians", and they basically told me to eff off.
"What do you expect? They're part of The Worst Generation."

Get the The Worst Generation mug.Related Words
Today's children and teenagers... not Gen Y, which are now currently 20 somethings. Born from 1991-present, these are the kids that are born under a computer and have no past memory of life during the Cold War. They grow up with cell phones, iPod's, Hannah Montana, High School Musical, MySpace, YouTube, and homeland security.
They are similar to the greatest generation and they tend to me more ambitious and more mature than any other generation past the Silent Generation.

Get the Generation Z mug.This overrated bunch of kids that are still are "kids" when they are the age of 30. They never seem to grow up. I seen these idiots dressing like they are still in high school, and having kids on their own. They'll probably be the worst parents ever.
These kids were raised in a day care all their life, and they assume that society should be run like a day care, as in having the government take care of them so they can run around and screw other girls. They are at the age of 30 and still love to play World of Warcraft; get a life. They are immature, have no life, have big mouths, dress like idiots (I seen these 30 year olds dressing like a gangsta at Wal Mart while having 2 kids), but they think their shit don't stink. They believe in outdated ideas such as the legalization of weed and vote for some dumbshit because he is "like so gangsta yo and he is the first black president...he is more RUSSIAN." They also claim good music has to be "organic", without this computerized bullshit. We are in the 21st century you hippies.

Get the Generation Y mug.The offspring of Generation X and the baby boomers, born typically between the mid 1970s and mid 1990s. The affects of the previous generation’s bad parenting skills has rubbed off onto Generation Y. As a result, it’s called the “me” generation and known by its egos, superficiality, sensuality, materialism, entitlement, instant gratification, selfishness, poor work ethic, and a general lack of responsibility. Generation Y has been bombarded by violence, sex and too much information—mostly bad—being shoved down their throats by the media and our culture. As a result, Generation Y is the generation of school shootings; you can’t even go to school anymore without fear of being shot. This generation knows more about the Simpsons than they do about our founding fathers. Generation Y also looks to miscreants like Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton as role models rather than Martin Luther King. It pays more attention to what’s going on in Hollywood than what’s going in the world around them. Generation Y has given us the cell phone, IPOD, the iPhone, the internet, text massaging, PDAs, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Game Cube, American Idol, TIVO, Starbucks, MySpace and E-Bay.
With the bad social vices and immorality of Generation Y, I’m afraid to see what the next generation will look like. Our society will only get worse.

Get the beat generation mug.Children born between the mid-1990's to 2010. The youngest ones are starting elementary school and the oldest ones have been out of high school only a couple of years. They are the sheltered and lifeless spawn of Generation X and early Generation Y'ers that have never known a world without internet and cell phones, America at war with the Middle East, had their parents monitor them even worse than Y'ers, rode in car seats until they were 9 and never in the front seat of cars until they were 10, most go to college even though most high school age kids of this generation can barely read or write or find their own home state on a U.S. map, their music is pretty manufactured and unimaginative, food allergies very commonplace because they've had vaccinations for every disease known to mankind and spend most of their times indoors, unstructured playtime is almost unknown with play dates arranged by their mom's, playground equipment is all plastic with a foam ground underneath, and many are generally bored despite the nonstop use of electronic devices.
