Generation Y

[BIG_DADDY]

SO I am having a conversation in a bar the night before a career fair with a person I took to the college to help me recruit. The guy I brought is Generation Y. After a few beers the conversation turned to the strange things some people have said in the interview process. The person with me said something that really hit home, he said "you have to understand my generation, it is very important that people look at us as being intelligent and right whether we are or not and are doing anything with our lives has nothing to do with it." The guy at the next table says "that's true" People at his table say what? HE repeats what was said and they readily agree laughing about it. I found it refreshing for a group to acknowledge something about their own generation like that. With that in mind I am at the very end of the baby boomer generation and can relate much more easily to Gen x and the one thing I would say in that same vein is it is really important that you know it really is all about us because it is.

Interesting progression.

I hate when people vaccinate their kids and act like they're right and stuff. What dicks.

I never raised you, I'm an X. We were the latchkey kids of the divorce boom.

I thought this might evolve into something pretty cool, my bad. It's attracted some of the finest poop throwers instead.

Technically you can identify with Generation X or Generation Y..but probably moreso to Generation Y.

Baby Boomers - Religious, probably don't believe the world is round or that gravity exists for that matter, brags to their sons & daughters that they figured out how to open an attachment on their aol.com email account, believe the woman is supposed to be in the kitchen, likes to shoot animals with guns, frequent buyer of NObama bumper stickers, hate black people & gays, angry.

Generation X - think that Mexicans are taking their jerbs, probably divorced, the women act happy because they work for their own money but then realize it really sucks and they screwed up a really good thing they had before hanging out at home watching soap operas and feeding the kids easy mac, probably loves Billy Idol, drives an SUV, claims to value diversity but will avoid any streets where there are black people hanging out, claims there is nothing wrong with being homosexual but will not associate or befriend a gay person, cries when they find their son or daughter has smoked pot.

Generation Y - graduated college only to claim the degree is worthless and that Generation X & Baby Boomers screwed up the economy beyond recognition, probably has an economics degree but works at a retail store with an hourly wage, raging pussies who drive Prius's and smart cars, wear large black glasses, claim to care about the environment yet won't volunteer to help, embraces diversity, hates white people even as a white person, listens to EDM, gets upset when hotels don't offer free wifi, forgets that weed is illegal & that it is in the glove department of their car, finds religious people annoying, gay kids are the popular kids at school, likes watching MLS & international soccer

Oh shit, Gen X goes back to the early 60's?

I think your Boomer description best describes the generation before it, and your Gen X description best describes Boomers.

Yeah, firmly in the Gen X camp according to Big Daddy's matrix thing.
