Generation Population
There were a lot of nicknames given to our generation. The Worthless Generation. The Too Many Generation. Generation Omega. But I think Generation Population was the most fitting. Especially since the media often abbreviated it to Gen Pop. The joke was lost on a world that no longer believed in incarceration.
But as a wasted generation, we weren’t allowed to travel. We were stuck on Earth. Anyone born post boom couldn’t apply for a passport or visa to visit any of the colonies. Not even on Luna. We were a grounded generation, left to die on a burned up rock.
