OK, you wanna know what I think of Generation Y?
They seem to HATE EACH OTHER.
I'm hyper-rugged individualist "take some gaddamned responsibility" Generation X and me and the crazy "squeeeeeze every last minute out of your life with your bare hands!!!" Boomers and the heroic "just be kind and do the right thing" Greatest Gen, and even sensible, placid, unassuming "I'm not really sure what the fuss is all about" Gen Jones (who nobody ever listens to), and, like, everybody are all looking at each other thinking "shite dudes, we fucked all this up, the poor Gen Y guys are going to be so mad at us" and what Gen Y seems to do almost universally is point fingers at each other with accusations of "NARCISSISM!"

I don't know, haven't young people always been more self absorbed than when they grow older? And each generation has always had lots of strife.
I have faith in the young people coming up behind my generation (Jones). I wish them the best but worry about what things are like these days.
Not that anyone is listening to me 
kidding, kidding!
like astrology, but I just don't think people should take it seriously.
I won't feel offended in the slightest.
We could have generation alpha.... except THAT'S going to cause nomenclature expectation anxiety.
I sort of agree with a poster up thread that trying to make generalisations about generations is all a bit silly anyway.
I do think some of them seem to have taken the "you're all narcissists" thing very much to heart, but I'm glad to hear your daughter has been well brought up by someone sensible.
