Generations in America explained succinctly
People born before 1946 are called – The Greatest Generation.
People born between 1946 and 1964 are called – The Baby Boomers.
People born between 1965 and 1979 are called – Generation X.
And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called – Generation Y.
Question: Why do we call the last group – Generation Y?
Answer:
Y should I get a job, when you have one, and I can live off you?
Y should I leave home and find my own place, when I’m encouraged to stay home until I’m 26 or older?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room, when you will do it?
Y should I buy any food, when you have plenty?
