A non-age specific categorization of a generation and attitude where everyone else is to blame, and blame is never put on oneself. Everyone else is always at fault, and everyone else is persecuting them when they think they don't deserve it.
Student 1: I can't believe she gave me detention, she so hates me and is just making things up to do this to me.
Student 2: Stop being such a GenV, you were texting your boyfriend in class, you deserved detention.
Student 1: Oh my god, you are doing it too. I HAD to text him to make sure our plans to meet by the tree in the courtyard for lunch.
Hipster Office Worker: Ugh, I can't believe she wrote me up again, she is such a beoyotch. How am I ever going to get anywhere in this company if they keep restricting my creativity?
Other Office Worker: Well you have been over an hour late for work every single day for the past month, why wouldn't she write you up?
Hipster Office Worker: Can she not understand that I can't get up early enough to get here at that time, if I don't get enough sleep at night how am I going to be productive at work?
Other: Maybe not going out to coffee shops til midnight every night and not playing those shows with your band might be a good idea, I am sure getting home every night after midnight isn't good. Why not just stay in and go to bed earlier?
Hipster: That's art, it should be encouraged, how else am i going to break away from this corporate machine in order to pursue my music full time?
Other: You are such a member of Generation V.

Young adults aged 15-22 that are primarliy middle-America. They drive new cars like Pontiac Grand Ams and they have huge cell-phone bills. They love to hang out at the mall, and probably attend either a shitty University or a community college. There favorite line of clothing is Abercrombie and Fitch and they love to listen to hip hop.
Take a look at all the jocks in high schools from 1998 to 2003.

1. People who follow the same path/live up to the same expectations as their parents
2. People who fall into the expected stereotypes of a previous generation
They've just bought a house in the suburbs, with space for an au pair, and he's just been headhunted to the city. Total generation xerox.

A word coined by the media to describe the current generation of young adults (roughly ages 18-35) who still live at home with their parents and are not financially independent. The word "boomerang" implies that the kids come back home from college or elsewhere to live with their parents after not being able to support themselves financially in the real world. The boomerang kids are the sons and daughters of the aging baby boomer generation. Newsmagazines like Time have sharply criticized today's youth by giving them the label of the boomerang generation.
The boomerang phenomenon can be attributed to many things. Firstly, thanks to eight years of a republican Bush presidency, the American economy is in shambles. America is facing a huge deficit because of the ongoing war in Iraq. Not to mention a terrible fuel crisis that is causing the cost of living to increase exponentially with every passing day. Although living expenses may be increasing in every possible way, wages are not increasing greatly. This has caused inflation of the american dollar. Euros are worth more than dollars these days. And it is hard for young college grads with respectable degrees to find legitimate work these days. The only work cutout for young folks these days is often extremely low-paying, demeaning and insulting to their intelligence and capability. Many jobs are also being outsourced to places in Asia as well as to fresh of the border immigrants. Hell, you could be talking to someone in India when you pull up to a Wendy's drive thru at 2 AM. The newly built republican economy has caused the richer to get rich and the poorer to get poor in this country. The people with the most money in this country are old rich white suburbanites and the poorest are young minorities in urban areas. Since the start of Bush's presidency, mid sized cities with large young minority populations, like Baltimore, have become more dangerous while their rich white vanilla suburbs that resemble retirement communities have become some of the richest counties & towns in the nation.
Oddly enough, the inability for young people to be financially independent is not accurately reflected in the ever-present American media and pop culture. Popular music and culture no longer reflect the real lifestyles & ups and downs of young people as Grunge Rock & Hip Hop music did in the 90's. Nowadays, all popular mainstream music is corporate owned and operated formulaic, watered-down droning sound that celebrates hedonism, money and being an illiterate consumer. And it seems like this message really resonates with today's youth. Young people are spending more money that they don't have then ever before. The average American college student is neck high in credit card debt. Young people rack up tens of thousands of dollars in debt buying expensive meaningless material shit like clothes. Other young people chose to get involved with dangerous illegal activity like selling drugs in order to put food on the table or to just always have the latest pair of jordans and a matching outfit.
Young people struggling to make ends meet these days face the most scrutiny from the older mostly white republican folks who have all the money in this country. Old people with money often blame the work ethic of today's young people. What the baby boomer generation does not understand is that today's youth have it rougher than they did in certain respects. For example, employment and wages for twenty-somethings was at an all-time high during the early 1970's when most baby boomers were coming of age. Nowadays, young people have it fucked up. However, success among young people is not impossible by any means in America in the twenty first century. The kid who created the ubiquitous Facebook was a twenty-three year old Harvard dropout.
Old Rich White Man: "Why don't you get a job you lazy bum? Do something with your pathetic life instead of drinking 40's with your homies all day. And have the respect not to drink in front of your mother's house. I hate the boomerang generation."
Young Broke Kid: (Pulls out a gun) "Gimme your wallet, bitch! Now get face down on the floor and count to 500!"

A forum on gaiaonline.com. These include amazing people, and you become addicted to it and you want to leave so fucking bad but you can't. You either become a "prommie" (like the populars at high school) or a "wannabe prommie" (everyone else at high school). It is filled with sex, scene people, twifags, awesome people, bitchy people, and many other things you didn't think existed.
WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
Take my word for it.

the guy who created reggaeton
who is PANAMAINIAN
Jose:What chu talking about Reggaeton came from puerto rico
Ishmael: no jackass, its from panama. El General came up with it when he combined jamaican reggae and the typical salsa, merengue, latin pop, bachata and so on. Since there are more puerto rican artists in reggaeton catagory, dont mean that they can claim it. Go read a book.
