New Born series on millennials in America
Who likes to be labeled? No body we all hate labels specially back in high school when we were force some how into one of several groups: popular, nerds, jocks, sports kids and so on. Now depending on the year you were born the GI generation, Generation X, baby boomers and millennials. A generation is not necessarily having anything to do with its name; sometimes these names are very random and contingent on the year. The first that graduate high school in the year 2000, so the name millennial automatically came to mind. Some times the name was not so obvious, like Generation x, which ever was born between 19665 and 1980, did not exist while Howe and Strauss were writing Generations. Usually labels that are drive from the previous generation don’t tent to stick.
