People born before 1946 were called The Silent Generation.
The Baby Boomers, are people born between 1946 and 1959.
Generation X, people born between 1960 and 1979.
Generation Y, are the people born between 1980 and 2011
Why do we call the last group Generation Y?
Recently a cartoonist explained it very eloquently below…
And I always thought it was because they say…
Y should I get a job?
Y should I leave home and find my own place?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room?
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
Y should I buy any food?
