Yeah, Generation Y and Millenials are the same thing. There's no official age range but it starts around 1983, my year of birth. What frightens me more that language usage is that if you were born in 1983 you could be my kid. I don't worry about new language every generation comes up with these kinds of contractions, most of them don't stick into the greater spoken language. One reason is that media tends to use more basic proper English. It keeps leveled out. On that score my generation and the two before it came up with plenty of stupid contractions and alternate words. We don't use them, and some of them have stuck...but the language is none the worse for it.
