POLL: Okay can we all agree on a cool name for my generation (late 70's to late 80's)...?

[gopunk]

i'm tired of being in a nameless generation of having some weird people slap some lame name like "baby boomlets" on me. lets pick a good one! one that sounds better than baby boomers or gen-x, etc.

i have only heard 3 possible names, so that is all that is on the poll right now, let me know if you have ones that should be added.

Well, we kind of are a sequel if you think about it.

I believe that we are officially already called generation y.
Generation y started in January 1982...

1982? WTF? I thought Gen X ended in the mid 70s. Did they forget about us born between 75ish and 82?

 

[gopunk]

my marketing textbook says gen-y started in 1976

Serious, we didn't worry about that. A shot of 'ol penny was the worst we could expect, after a bad date. Nowadays, one bad groove can kill ya!

Born during a baby bulge that demographers locate between 1979 and 1994, they are as young as five and as old as 20, with the largest slice still a decade away from adolescence. And at 60 million strong, more than three times the size of Generation X, they're the biggest thing to hit the American scene since the 72 million baby boomers. Still too young to have forged a name for themselves, they go by a host of taglines: Generation Y, Echo Boomers, or Millennium Generation.
