I've always wondered this myself... And Now I know !
People born before 1946 were called The Silent Generation.
The Baby Boomers are those born between 1946 and 1959.
Generation X people have been born between 1960 and 1979.
Generation Y were born between 1980 and 2010
Why do we call the last group Generation Y?
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 ?
