The Silent Generation...people born before 1945.

The Baby Boomers...people born between 1945 and 1961.

Generation X...people born between 1962 and 1976.

Generation Y...people born between 1977 and 1999.


Why do we call the last group of people Generation Y?

I had no idea until I saw this caricaturist's explanation!

A picture is worth a thousand words!

LOL - and I should care because?...
though I do wonder what'll happen when they run out of letters in the alphabet. Generation X..Generation XI.. Generation XII, XIII, XIV, etc.?

I am happy you've found something to be amused about ...which come to think about it, is a pretty satisfying answer to my first question ;0)

I've always wondered how they get their pants and undies to defy gravity like that. Do they spray stickum to their hips and thighs?

My sister-in-law sent it to me. The artist is from Quebec.

I still owe you an email with the photo of the two of us. I haven't forgotten.

HUGS!

I think the trend would end immediately, if you told these kids that their butts hanging out, cupped by their pants, makes them look like they are trying to entice other men:)

Glad I could be of assistance:) The thing that bothers me is that I fall into the Baby Boomer generation .. when did we move so far up the food chain? :)

It was amusing; though personally, I'd like to be in a group called something besides "baby boomers"!

LOL!

HUGS!

I really don't understand how the pants stay up ... a wide open stance? :)

I wonder what the next step is ... I've seen the top of the pants almost at the knees on some of these youngin's. It's almost like animals presenting their butts ... Wait a minute .. let me think this over again .... LOL!

Actually the explanation I'd heard and liked was that it's Y as in "Y bother?"

OMG!!!!!

I have never understood how they can keep those pants up, I just remember my mother always telling me as a kid to pull my pants up, but it was my belly pushing mine down

It was the backlighting that gave it away!

I’m in the second category. I just make it too. From what I’ve heard the baby boomers are anyone who is born after WWII I was born a month later. It will add up to 63 next month. I know the Yers very well though. They all go to Equinox. Such attitude enough to put Martha Graham to shame. Still there are a few gym rats like me there to put them straight - well so to speak

Hey, Stranger! [livejournal.com profile] tkn1114 called me yesterday and asked for your email address. Can you sent it to Thanh?

Hope all is well! HUGS!

Yet another! We've had to go into crisis planning mode at the building again. I can't wish it on my friend in New Orleans or Mobile, but I certainly hope it goes elsewhere. I don't want to shelter in place with 215 residents and another 100 + employees!

Talk to you over the weekend!

HUGS!
