Millennial

Millennial is an alternative name for Generation Y. A generation is generally agreed to be about twenty years: Baby Boomers (40s & 50s), Generation X (60s & 70s), Millennials (80s & 90s), Generation Z (00s & 10s). The three main defining attributes that Millennials have, seem to be: firstly that they have grown up taking technology for granted, secondly that they have grown up in a world where there are no consequences for bad behavior and thirdly that they have been told they can do whatever they like in the world as there are no winners or losers. The former meaning that they are first generation who spend more time inside than outside doing something constructive. Advancements in entertainment technology and (half arsed lazy parenting from Generation X parents) has meant Millennials have grown up in bedrooms with their own TVs, stereos, laptops and game consuls. this has made the threat of "I'll send you to your room" moot, as there is no place the Millennial would rather be. The later is more serious; due to the continual growth and proliferation of the ridiculous concept of "Politically Correct", Millennials have grown up; not being spanked at home (in most cases), not receiving any real punishment at school and even in the criminal justice system receiving derisory sentences. The last has created a generation of "Special Little Snowflakes", who seem to think they can do what ever they want and are prone to tantrums if they don't get their own way. university.
