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.

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.
I lectured someone on their generational privilege because I am a stupid nigger and dont want to own up to my own actions and do any work for my money.
