Born as early as 1979, and as late as 1985, the MOTU generation have many things in common with the thundercats generation. Growing up watching a quality and (for someone of a young age) thought-provoking series encompassing action, adventure, fighting, and intelligent charactors; this generation would come to be a well-rounded set of individuals.

Get the masters of the universe generation mug.A Canadian TV show which takes place in a high school with kids who have a shitload of issues which can be realistic but sometimes can be a little melodramatic and ridiculous, i think the writers just want to capture every possible bad situation that can happen in a high school, happening to the one school, to only a particular group of students.
What's funny is that most of the shows graduates are trying to become actors, models and arts students, succeeding in all 3, sending a terrible message to kids who are yet to discover the employability and the common salary of an art student graduate.
If you are 12 and have anxious, paranoid parents, start watching this show with them.

Degrassi the Next Generation scenarios
The realistic: Girlfriend/boyfriend problems, I’m gay but am scared to tell people problems, fat girl has self confidence issues, kids trying an illegal drug for the first time etc
the more extreme storylines: 12 year old meet a pedophile after chatting on the internet, 2 girls gets raped, teacher accused of molesting a 13 year old, A SCHOOL SHOOTING, a main character stabbed to death (bashing him wasn’t dramatic enough apparently), Kevin Smith filming a kids version of Jay and Silent Bob at the school whilst developing a relationship ten pregnancy, bipolar kid goes off meds, gay kid almost becomes a prostitute etc

Get the Degrassi the Next Generation mug.A Canadian show that follows up the original 80's Series, Degrassi Junior High. Some nicknames for this show are: DTNG; D:TNG; and sometimes just plain Degrassi. In Canada, it is aired on CTV, while in the US, it is aired on The-N (Also known as Noggin). This show takes place a Degrassi Community School in Canada, and talks about teenage issues such as: sexuality, abusive relationships, abusive families, cutting, drugs, and more. The show started airing in 2001, and is currently airing and filming.
However, due to these very dramatic teenage issues, The N has editted some small changes that CTV hasn't:
1) In "Whisper to a Scream", they did not show Ellie cutting her arm.
2) Craig sniffing coke in front of Manny
3) Manny's thong in "U Got The Look" was lowered so it didn't show as much
4) JT getting stabbed, and blood running down his shirt
The N has recently aired "Accidents Will Happen", which was never aired on The N until the "Every episode Ever" marathon, due to the plot, which involves abortion. Many Americans were outraged, but now they air it regularly.

Get the degrassi: the next generation mug.Similar to generation y, the demographic cohort following generation x - today's 20 somethings - who, thanks to the state of the world economy, will now be characterised by their life-long inability to earn enough money to be able to afford a house.
Stuart: Man, I can't believe I even bothered going to university, I'm always going to be part of the tent generation.
Ryan: At least you went to university, I have to live in a Euro-hike.

Get the The Tent Generation mug.Those who grew up during the 80's and 90's, who are particularly familiar with the cultural phenomenon that is The Simpsons. For many, The Simpsons represents a side of their personality which resides in all persons of that particular age. They will tend to know all of the most famous gags and songs off-by-heart, and will often quote the show on a daily basis. These individuals have grown up appreciating, both, the subtle and exaggerated humour, along with the numerous movie, music and cultural references.
"I was born in the 80's, man. I was there when The Simpsons first started! I am part of, what is known as, 'The Simpsons' Generation."

Get the 'The Simpsons' Generation mug.People born between 1995-2002
Aren't Millennials but also can't identify with Gen Z Culture
Many similarities with the Lost Generation born between 1883-1900 who grew up during the aftermath of WWI and The Great Depression. Similarly the Forgotten Generation lived not only through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Great Recession in 2007, but also live in a post 9/11 America that is driven by xenophobia and fear of fascism.
The Lost Generation also experienced a rapid flow of new information just as the Forgotten Gen is experiencing now. The Introduction of many new technological advances is seen in both generations.
Forgotten Gen kids also can relate to the Lost Generation in the sense that they are skeptical of all authority, especially parents, as back then their parents were pushing for the prohibition of alcohol which can be seen mirrored today with the Forgotten Gen pushing for legalization of Marijuana, while our parents tend to be against it.
Many members of both generations have been known to reject more traditional ideas of proper behavior, morality, and gender roles. Both generations are considered to be “lost” due to the tendency to act aimlessly, even recklessly, often focusing on the hedonistic accumulation of personal wealth.
Both the Lost Gen and the Forgotten Gen started exploring its own set of values, ones that clearly went against what their elders had already established.

Get the The Forgotten Generation mug.A book of generalizations of the Millennial generation in the United States. Or more specifically, a book about a rise in ignorance and narcissism in society, pinned solely on the Millennial generation. While some parts of the book are informative in terms of digital learning, much of it's just a rant consisting of "Kids these days don't think like I do, therefore they're dumb."
If you want to see the train wreck that is "The Dumbest Generation" for yourself, and it's available at your local library, borrow it. Don't buy it, it's worth about as much as the Zimbabwean dollar circa 2008.
