The Pixel Generation:Those Who Learned Through Games

There exists a generation of people that have yet to receive a defining name. A generation that exists in a unique time period. The other generations are easy to define. The Lost Generation fought in the trenches during WWI. The Greatest Generation/ the GI Generation fought WWII. The Silent Generation or the Lucky Few were born between wars, and fought in Korea and a few in Vietnam. The Baby Boomers, those born from when the soldiers returned from WWII (including all those born up until the late 1950s). Generation X, all those born from the 1960s to the late 1970s. The Millennials, born between the late 1990s and the early 2000s, named for the transition to a new millennium. Did you notice a gap? Right between Gen X and the Millennials. Those on either end of the spectrum in this group often get lumped into the proceeding or following generation, but that's not really fair. Because its not true. I'm a member of this misfit band of people, and it bothers me that we don't have a name. But we do. It's just that no one's ever really said it.
