The MTV generation
Discussion
I've just realised that I'm classed as one of the MTV Generation.

Certainly back then it was less corporate.
I certainly remember thinking how different and cool MTV was at the time. Pure music videos and hot presenters. What's not to like?!
So are you a Baby boomer, Generation MTV, Generation X or Generation Y?
Is there any more?
What are today's kids called, iphone generation?

I skimmed through the articles, but it's funny how Generation Y are narcissistic and and have a sense of entitlement whereas the Generation X 'are highly educated, active, balanced, happy and family oriented.'
Wonder who wrote that report?
Mandatory suspicions aside, it's probably accurate.

If the younger generations are, as a rule of thumb, all the same or act in a certain way then it must be due to how they were raised by the older generations, after all, kids aren't born bad, they are raised badly.Wonder who wrote that report?

So whose to blame really, the snot nosed a
hole sixteen year old or the lazy parents and do gooders who let 'em run riot and don't set rules or boundaries and have abandoned discipline?
I am a mix of all 3 apparently, 32 this year.
MTV was something the posh kids had with SKY TV, Beavis and Butt-head and Nirvana were the big things then.
I always thought I was Gen X but some state I am Gen Y, but given so much changed in the early to the late 80's its hard to say, I prefer X, as Y folk seem much younger in their interests and likes than I do.

Neither, it will be global warming. Ask any green Taliban for accurate and impartial information on the cause of everything. ( source, the BBC. Probably. ) So whose to blame really, the snot nosed a

Same here. I suppose you could call the cut off for gen X as everyone who wasn't an adult (18) at the turn of the Millennium.MTV was something the posh kids had with SKY TV, Beavis and Butt-head and Nirvana were the big things then.
