William Straus and Neil Howe's clustering of millennials based on birth years, the generational classification was referred to as Generation Y, and muddled the fair representation of those who experienced their adolescence and cognitive-development years in step with the nascent phase of home-based Internet access technology.
While often lumped together with millennials (as defined by Straus and Howe), the developmental phase of social interaction, which involved information technology's burgeoning impact on society, was overlooked. Generation Y represented the crossroads between millennials who were well immersed in computer technology even as far as experiencing an institutionalization of computer education in academic curricula and Generation X members who were heavily immersed in broadcast media's influence and yet largely uninitiated in computer technology. Generation Y represents the link between the non-digital age society shaped by Generation X, as adolescents (MTV Generation), and the dawn of the Internet age that saw the transitioning of society to easily accessible online communities (Bulletin board system, MIRC, Yahoo! Groups, Internet forum) especially during the introduction of dial-up Internet access to households.
Gen Y entangled pop culture and digital community-building through bulletin board systems, online forums, website mailing groups, mIRC, ICQ, and other electronic modes of communication (predecessors to social media) into today's digital age.

The millennial Generation represents Generation Z and were merely lumped with Generation Y people who were completely raised during the early emergence of home-based Internet access.

A troll who posts messages that are designed to inflame and anger a community, thereby serving as an effigy or representation that people can curse at, argue against or ridicule, when in fact that trolling poster doesn't really exist in real life.
Man, these white guys are really bashing this effitroll who claims he's a black dude who claims all white people are racists who deserve to rot in hell.

An oxymoron and a paradox in itself in the context of social media such as Facebook, especially when a user finds something amusing or interesting enough to share or post on his wall (which means the user LIKES what he put on his wall/feed), and everybody is apparently ignoring what he's been posting for the longest time, as if it never existed.
Joe (thinking to himself): Damn, is anybody even seeing what I'm posting and sharing on my wall? I've been sharing some pretty cool stuff and I've been liking (well not like an easy like whore that Urbandictionary is defining) what my friends have been sharing on their walls. Some friends they are. Where the hell is the reciprocity?! Buncha ingrates! How come it's as if they're ignoring me on purpose?! Do I even exist? Maybe they think I'm dead. Am I dead? Is this like the 6th Sense? Oh well, better stop doing this social media crap then, pretty pointless talking to myself online. Damn, now I'm doing it in real life.

A person who gets your hopes up by saying yes or agreeing to attend an event, party, gathering, meet-up or get together, but then lets you down by bitching-up and backing-up on his/her word on the last minute. It's a technique commonly used to make the invitee feel important to the inviter, like a celebrity you can't touch or you can't see cause he's/she's a VIP. This becomes a habit of disappointment that you can always expect, that you get tired of inviting the person and then he/she complains of being left-out on awesome parties.
A: Dude, where the hell is Mike?
B: Man, nevermind him, he's a Party poofer. You know he just wants to feel important. Let him freeze wherever.
A: Yeah, he's probably at home surfing on some porn and masturbating.

Generation Y and Generation Z cannot be lumped together and be called Millennials; the two groups are distinct and the eggheads who said so are idiots.

Generation Y has been lumped together with millennials, (as eggheadedly defined by Straus and Howe), the developmental phase of social interaction, which involved information technology's burgeoning impact on society, was overlooked. As information technology and Internet connectivity may have easily established a cohort of sorts among Internet users, Generation Y represented the crossroads between millennials who were well immersed in computer technology even as far as experiencing an institutionalization of computer education in academic curricula and Generation X members who were heavily immersed in broadcast media's influence and yet largely uninitiated in computer technology.

Groups, Internet forum) especially during the introduction of dial-up Internet access to households.
Generation Y entangled pop culture and digital community-building through bulletin board systems, online forums, website mailing groups, mIRC, ICQ, and other electronic modes of communication (which could be considered the predecessors to social media) into the digital age of today; even as most Generation X members lacked the responsiveness or the interest to immediately adopt the connective facilities offered by the Internet.
