It's not in the name

She hates being referred to as "Generation X"
But the Gen Xers? Nope, all we get is a letter. C’mon, we grew up
with Atari, Pac Man, and The Fonz, for goodness’ sake; don’t we deserve just a little pizzazz?

Then she gets all 60's-radical-unrealistic hippie on us.
Can you imagine what kind of great things a generation might do if they came into the world tagged with a really hopeful generation name? Born into Generation World Peace? How about being in the Everyone Will Look Up to You in Awe Generation? The Love-All Generation. Generation High IQ. Or, if you’re not into pressure, just The Self-Acceptance Generation.

Sigh.
