The Silent Generation are people born before 1946.

The Baby Boomers are people born between 1946 and 1959.

Generation X are people born between 1960 and 1989.

Generation Y are people born between 1990 and now.

Why do we call the last one generation Y?
I did not know, but a cartoonist explains it eloquently below...Learned something new today







The secret to happiness is a good sense of humor and a bad memory.

Hehe.

Seriously though, they only call it Generation Y because they were too lazy to come up with something more original than "Hey, what comes after X?" I say we should be called the iGeneration.

When I see one of those types walking around with their jeans halfway down, I always feel the urge to sneek up on them from behind and pull it down. My nextdoor kid of 15 years old never leaves the house without showing his bright yellow or green underwear to the rest of the street. I call him Gaylord...

To think, my dad thought hip huggers were to low back in the 70's. Although he didn't seem to mind mini skirts....

I'm sure some of you have seen this already but,"no pun intended"I thought this would fit here nicely.

LMAO, I usually laugh out loud when I see those people. I've noticed that some of them wear really loose pants and have them sagging and some wear really tight pants and still have them sagging. The tight pants ones are the ones that make me really laugh. The others just look like they lost their belt.

They should be called generation "CRACKpots"

Haven't seen anyone do this in over five years.

They're still at it. I've even recently seen the full-on, belt tightened just under the buttocks thing... fortunately, that style is accompanied by boxers pulled way up. Stupid, yes, but not as mortifying as the alternative... the "male posterior decolletage", as I call it.  :-/   ::)

It reminds me of an old Cosby monologue about the "tough kids" in the neighborhood he grew up in:

"You know- hats on sideways, pants on backwards... just rebelling against everything..."   :D

No I think the name Generation Why Y fits just fine.

Sometimes I seriously think this generation should be called the "WTF Generation". At times even they are hard pressed to figure out what's going on....

The Baby Boomers are people born between 1946 and 1959.

I thought Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964?
