Millennials and Filinnials, also known as Generation Y or the Net Generation, refer to those born between the late 1970s and early 2000s. Millennials are used specifically to denote Filipino members of this generation. They grew up with increased use of digital technologies and media. They are often characterized as confident, team-oriented, and achieving but also feel pressured. Both generations came of age during the rise of internet influence on entertainment. Studies show they tend to be more open-minded than older generations on social issues but hold a mix of views on topics like marriage and abortion.
