I know it's classified as US Generations, I still thought it was
interesting...I guess I'm a Gen-XYer part of the MTV generation and the
Boomerang generation.
So basically according to wikipedia I'm supposed to be heavily influenced by
music videos, the media, and live at home until I'm 26. I wonder why I
moved out at 17 and didn't watch TV for 3 years...hmmm :)
