Some people say that those born before World War Ⅱ are the "first generation," those born after the war are the "second generation," while their children are the "third generation," who are also the same youths who make up the current "young clans."
有人說，以二次大戰來算，戰前出生的是第一代，戰後出生的這組屬第二代，他們的孩子可稱為第三代，也就是現在所謂的「青少年族群」。
