The offspring of Generation X and the baby boomers, born typically between the mid 1970s and mid 1990s. The affects of the previous generation’s bad parenting skills has rubbed off onto Generation Y. As a result, it’s called the “me” generation and known by its egos, superficiality, sensuality, materialism, entitlement, instant gratification, selfishness, poor work ethic, and a general lack of responsibility. Generation Y has been bombarded by violence, sex and too much information—mostly bad—being shoved down their throats by the media and our culture. As a result, Generation Y is the generation of school shootings; you can’t even go to school anymore without fear of being shot. This generation knows more about the Simpsons than they do about our founding fathers. Generation Y also looks to miscreants like Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton as role models rather than Martin Luther King. It pays more attention to what’s going on in Hollywood than what’s going in the world around them. Generation Y has given us the cell phone, IPOD, the iPhone, the internet, text massaging, PDAs, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Game Cube, American Idol, TIVO, Starbucks, MySpace and E-Bay.
With the bad social vices and immorality of Generation Y, I’m afraid to see what the next generation will look like. Our society will only get worse.

Generation Y otherwise known as echo boomers, or Millennials, is the term for the Generation born between 1980 and 1995. Most of them are children of either Baby boomers or Generation X.
These people are the first to grow up with technology, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the recession of 2008. By the Mid-2010s, they will be the largest working force in the United States.
These are the Generation demographics:
Greatest: 1901-1924
Silent: 1925-1945
Baby Boom:1946-1964
Gen X: 1965-1980
Gen Y: 1980-1995
Gen Z: 1996-present
To be clear, Generation Y last through 1995, then 1996 is the start of generation Z

"Hey Steph, what happened with you and that guy from the milking station?"

The eagerly-anticipated third studio album by the (in my opinion) greatest band ever, Coldplay. The first single "Speed of Sound" will be released on May 23rd, 2005, while the album itself drops on June 6th, 2005.
I'm planning on camping out outside of Fred's Record's on June 6th to get X&Y.
