...that my generation (i was born in 1977) is "lazy".

she added that generation Y/"millennials" are "hard working and determined to get what they want".

discuss.

every generation is inherently lazier than the one prior to it, of course there are exceptions but in my experience that's the general rule.

and in each generation the laziness between the rural and urban members is visibly different, i find it interesting my friends here in the city compared to myself and those from the country ... these kids are lazy, things i dont even think twice about doing they consider too much work

Generation X is the generation generally defined as those born after the baby boom ended,[6] extending from the early-to-mid 1960s to late 1970s. They associated with the pop culture of their youth in the 1980s to the early 1990s.[7] Other names used interchangeably with Generation X are Reagan Generation,[citation needed] 13th Generation,[5] and Baby Busters.

Generation Y is also known as Generation Next or the Millennials.[8] Generation Y spans from circa 1980 to the late 1990s.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]

This generation is also sometimes referred to as the Boomerang Generation or Peter Pan Generation because of their possible penchant for delaying some of the rites of passage into adulthood longer than most generations before them, and because of a trend toward living with their parents for longer than recent generations.[30]

Those a part of Generation Y have pushed the acceptable boundaries for full adulthood from their mid 20's to early 30's.[31] Many members of Generation Y have chosen to live at home, remain without a family or children, and delay a full career longer than any generation before them.

The Millennials are sometimes called the "Trophy Generation", or "Trophy Kids,"[38] a term that reflects the trend in competitive sports, as well as many other aspects of life, where "no one loses" and everyone gets a "Thanks for Participating" trophy and symbolizing a perceived sense of entitlement.

...

it goes on and on...

all the kids younger then me when i was working at the local super market were lazy. all they wanted to do was collect a check and not do anything. shooting her in the face would be the proper response.

I don't think productivity and success is defined by a generation, and anyone who thinks that is ridiculous. Having been born in 1984, I feel I am driven and motivated, but I work with several people born in the mid to late 70's who are the same exact way.

Sweeping generalizations usually make people looks incredibly ignorant.
