You can say or ridicule the 60's generation.  Those free loving, pot smoking, out spoken, older generation.  Can just sit back and wonder when you Homer Simpson, junk TV watching bunch of losers are going to get off your asses, and at least call, email, (if thats the best you can do)your congressman,  and explain to them that you are not blind to what they are doing is not representing your wishes.

William Strauss and Neil Howe define generation in their book, "Generations" as : "A cohort-group, which are all persons born in a limited span of consecutive years, whose length approximates the span of life given to be approximately twenty two years, and whose boundaries are fixed by peer personality.  So, I guess its twenty two years.

In english, quasi is a term meaning partially.  In the same way teenagers are quasi adults.  If somebody told you that, its an insult in my book.  I would say that about the younger generation that think they know much more than us older ones

Although the origins of the term "Generation X" go back at least as far as the early 1960s, it was popularized by Douglas Coupland's 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, in which Coupland describes the angst of those born between roughly 1960 and 1965, who, while technically part of the Baby Boom Generation, feel no connection to its cultural icons.\n\nThe term Generation Y first appeared in an August 1993 Ad Age editorial to describe those teenagers born between 1974 -1980.The scope of the term has changed greatly since then, to include, in many cases, anyone born as late as 2001. There is still no precise definition of years.

The reversal could happen with our generation.  It is seeing and understanding the threat to our environment that will eventually spur people to change their ways.

Most importantly, the generation of youth is the biggest it's ever been!\nWe're more than the post-war baby-boom, or the x-generation.\nWe control money, up to 3.5 billion dollars of spending each year, just teens.\nWe have become more independant, but we rely on the media to tell us what to say and what to do. Every secondgirl wants to be Britney Spears, every second guy thinks he needs a sixpack to look good...\nThe media plays a big part in our lives now.\nYoung people have become more aware of what lies out there in the world, we have become much more competitive in preparation to fight for ourselves once we have to work for a living.

as far as what? I believe that this generation is not it 's all about image and keeping it real staying in the hood, going to jail, being shoot, having sex with many women. That what being taught in most music to the furture generation. We like it that way staying where we are and letting other do that same.\n\nWe as a people do not want to see someone get ahead of the other.
