The description provided actually refers to Generation X, not Generation Y (Millennials). Generation X is the group often associated with the early 1990s portrayal of "slackers," and they were the ones coming of age during the grunge music movement. Generation Y, or Millennials, are marked by their comfort with digital technology and are generally considered to be more optimistic and achievement-oriented than the description suggests.
