Resetgeneration

 

 This phrase was inspired by the "reset" feature that comes with most video or computer games. Choosing this feature gives the player a fresh start and is most often employed when the player gets into a mess from which he or she can't or won't escape.

 

 

 The word"reset" means that these young people simply choose to"reset" their "play" buttons by changing jobs, partners or friends, instead of trying to cope² with and learn from their difficulties — a standard pattern for older generations.
