Any generation whose source of cultural identity comes from stealing everything that was popular at least 2 decades ago. The basis for most ideas in music, TV shows, and movies come from other music, TV shows and movies, and are the foundation of what is popular, instead of people coming up with original ideas.
When "The Dukes of Hazzard" made it to the big screen after being off TV for years, you knew without a doubt America was controlled by a Rerun Generation.

when the younger generation learns to do the same stupid and crapy things that the older generation did. And it gets passed from generation to generation. Like racism, ageism, unjust laws, banks that will take your house away ect. Often expressed by the saying," New cast of characters same old shit".
