So that's pretty amusing.

Only in the sense that the internet is full of them whining about how the boomers apparently fucked the economy, and how it is actually really cool to be 26 and living with your parents because that is, in fact, more environmentally friendly.

QUOTE
Baby boomers are being replaced by groups of young workers who have regrettably scored rather poorly in international educational match-ups over the last two decades. The average income of U.S. households headed by 25-year-olds and younger has been declining relative to the average income of the baby boomer population. This is a reasonably good indication that the productivity of the younger part of our workforce is declining relative to the level of productivity achieved by the retiring baby boomers. This raises some major concerns about the productive skills of our future U.S. labor force."


So, in the sense that I get weary of being exposed to the whining of 20-something adults who act like children, I find Alan's comments very amusing.

That would make them Gen Y.

Actually, looks like Fox is the only people who called those slackers Gen X.  So they completely mis-reported it.

As a personal retort to old-ass Greenspan, "Go fuck yourself, geezer."
