Millennial, which is usually thought of those born in the 80s and 90s.

Discussions with my mother, an elementary teacher, who believes strongly that there is an obvious divide between us and I guess what we're calling the "Net Gen" now, starting in 2000, which she is just beginning to teach. She says the defining characteristic of many "Millenials" (at least as she knows them) is a lot of complaining about tasks while simultaneously performing them. Admittedly, as that was my generation, she may have been both personally biased and cherry picking complements for me. She says the defining characteristic (as she sees it) of the "Net Gen" is a frankness and openness about sexuality; seeing as how, theoretically, the oldest member of that generation is 11, the next couple decades could be very interesting.
