A generation of western guys who fought one battle when they were teenagers and endlessly bragged about it for the rest of their lives while their entire civilization fell to pieces around them.
I took a boat over to Europe and shot a German. Then I bragged about being able to make my bed so right you could bounce a quarter off it while leftist subversives turned my country into a third world, gay pride, drag queen story time nightmare. I'm the greatest generation!

Get the Greatest Generation mug.The young people, aged 18 to 29, in Arab and Arab-influenced countries like Syria and Yemen, who are rising up against dictatorships. (Based on statistical term epsilon, meaning very small number. (used by Srdja Popovic, the organizer of the movement that took down Milosevic in Serbia in 2000, who was 27 at the time).

Get the generation epsilon mug.William Straus and Neil Howe's clustering of millennials based on birth years, the generational classification was referred to as Generation Y, and muddled the fair representation of those who experienced their adolescence and cognitive-development years in step with the nascent phase of home-based Internet access technology.
While often lumped together with millennials (as defined by Straus and Howe), the developmental phase of social interaction, which involved information technology's burgeoning impact on society, was overlooked. Generation Y represented the crossroads between millennials who were well immersed in computer technology even as far as experiencing an institutionalization of computer education in academic curricula and Generation X members who were heavily immersed in broadcast media's influence and yet largely uninitiated in computer technology. Generation Y represents the link between the non-digital age society shaped by Generation X, as adolescents (MTV Generation), and the dawn of the Internet age that saw the transitioning of society to easily accessible online communities (Bulletin board system, MIRC, Yahoo! Groups, Internet forum) especially during the introduction of dial-up Internet access to households.
Gen Y entangled pop culture and digital community-building through bulletin board systems, online forums, website mailing groups, mIRC, ICQ, and other electronic modes of communication (predecessors to social media) into today's digital age.

Generation Y and Generation Z cannot be lumped together and be called Millennials; as those who said so were clueless about how the two generations were raised and how they developed their ways of thinking.

Get the Generation Y mug.A person that is very environmentally aware, and that often visits the 'Starbucks coffee' , but not resembling a 1970's era hippie.
Dude, all those Next Generation hippies at Starbucks, working on their 'projects and work' should go an eat hot death.

Get the Next Generation Hippie mug.The crop of young adults born between the early 1980's and mid-1990's. Their childhood was spent mostly indoors playing video games or watching cable or satellite TV with over 100 channels to choose from at any time. They mature into teenagers faster than their predecessors, but also take longer to get on their own, fully mature, buy a house, marry, and raise a family. Many of the middle-class Generation Y'ers grew up with parents that constantly monitored them, kept them enrolled in after school activities, and wouldn't let them play outside unsupervised. The early ones grew up with internet during their teen years and the later ones grew up with a computer in almost every household. Childhood obesity became a major problem with this generation. They rely on praise and positive feedback to be able to function in school and the world. They're less likely to party hard, do drugs, have premarital sex, and engage in risky activity like the Generation X'ers and Baby Boomers. Those who don't go to college are a minority.

Get the Generation Y mug.A bullshit word made up by stupid negroes that dont know how to think for themselves. They will blame other people for their problems and proceed to destroy their own towns for no reason other than that a convicted felon died for not listening to the police.
