Can WE Save US? (Generation We)
Born between 1978 and 2000, the "Millennials" or Generation Y as they are often called currently include 95 million young people up to 30 years of age—they are the biggest age cohort in U.S. history... a new baby boom, whose parents are primarily boomers. Scholars, demographers, marketers, politicians, and parents are trying to put a finger on just who they are, perhaps one group have... generationwe.com
Though these "Millennials" currently lean Democratic, research demonstrates that they’re far more wedded to progressive political and social views than to any one party. Millennials most often describe themselves as independents (39 percent) than either Democrats (34 percent) or Republicans (24 percent).
Far from being the disconnected, self-absorbed and overly protected progeny of helicopter parents, many among this generation are speaking up and being herad on issue after issue, from the economy to global warming to the war in Iraq, this next generation favor progressive solutions as much as they reject both “conservative” and “liberal” labels."

I think the reason why they would describe themselves (correctly) as independant, is because many of them come from new kinds of families with single parents or both hard working parents, so they have found themselves home alone (and with input of the world wide web) creating their own ideas and identification with brands, people and peers.
