I really don't know if the blogosphere has a set a rules in regards to this. Generation Y, the usual age average are those born from 1978 - 1995 (give or take a year or two). I personally didn't know I was considered Generation Y (since I don't follow these things at all) until I saw the articles posted on this site! And I agree with you, I think scientists want to classify things in attempts at labeling it, instead of tackling WHAT is causing these changes across the generations! Am I supposed to post in here?

I don't often pay attention to stereotypes, but I found your article interesting and want to do further research into this. As Leah, I grew up working hard, paying my own way through college and was pushed to do more and better for myself by hard-working parents. I think it's not a "Generation Y" thing, but rather a societal issue across the board ~ people are more interested in material items. We're replacing time with family versus time with the TV. Outside activities are replaced with computer games. It's not just a generation, it's across the generations. Forgive me, but what age range is Generation Y?

I grew up much more like you, so the entitlement thing usually offends me. I do see plenty of it in my peers, but I think there are so many more of us out there who grew up in a world affected by the recession of the 80's, who had to pay our own way through college, who were pushed and pressured to be better than our parents, who had to work hard to get where we are. We don't get noticed by the researchers because we are too busy working our butts off, the only way to work, according to the way we were raised. So we don't have time to look up long enough to hear what's being said about our generation, much less refute it. Great post!
