Generation Y (Exercise 10 Part 5)

 Generation Y comes after Generation X, anyone who was born roughly after the 80's. Also Called 'The Millennium Generation' , or 'Generation Next' this is the young people's generation, myself included (born in 1990). As with  Generation X, Gen Y has been shaped by certain events during the time period, in particular the Global Economic Crisis of 2008-2012 which left many young adults entering the world from studies of school unable to find work.

I got into design and art because I not only love what I do, I also love the communal aspect that being an artist brings with it. I don't want to say there seems to be no hope for my generation, there definitely is and I'm an optimist, I try and see the best in people it's just that they constantly disappoint me with their attitudes. Not really a focus of my final topic, I do however want to include some info about certain celebrities who may or may not have contributed to Punk Rock's rise in popularity and ultimately embraced by the masses.
