What generation are we?

[martinemonster]

In the 1950s, the babyboomers came: the ones who "built Norway".

In the 1980s, it was "japperne": the quick-fix, one-man-company-people.

Then, in the early 90s, it was all about the "dessert generation" - the ones who didn't build Norway, as Erlend Loe nicely put it. The ones who just expected to get everything handed to them.

Who are we? What name will they give/have they given us? I need a label here...

they called everyone who were young in the late 90s the "caffe latte generation", which sounds very lame.

I think the keys to belonging were: being politically aware, ironic and cynical about everything, including said political engagement.

Gods, it fit. Oh well, Kaffe-latte-generasjonen it is. :(
