Idiom (?) Translation Request - Millennials

[Lexi Freeman]

How does The Millennial Generation translate into French? I'm not sure how to Google the answer because I'm not looking for a literal translation. I'm hoping someone can tell me what French speakers call my generation (the millennials). I want to use it as a title for a painting, a modern interpretation of "La Belle Dame sans Merci" by John Keats. I'd like it to mean something along the lines of "The Millennial Belle Dame" in English, but since the poem's title is in French, I would like my painting's title to be in French also.  Thank you very much for your help!

I will go first.

"La belle dame du nouveau millenium"

Apparently there also seems to be a "Generation Y" which may translate your Millennial Generation.

Since it seems to apply in English as well as other languages it may not be very much used (I mean I never heard it used before).

So I suppose  you might say " La Belle Dame- Generation Y"  -but don't hold me to it!

Thank you!  That translation appeals to me a lot.  Many people are familiar with "nouveau," so the meaning isn't lost in translation.  Thanks again!  :)

Hello

just change "millénium", it can't be use here - it's not really the meaning in french in that case (and the tone isn't fluent french but outside France I think it's not really heard)

(And since some years,  when I hear "millenium"  I (and I think I am not the only one) think about a sweden book and movie (do you know it with this title ?) and it's not a reference work for "une belle dame")

you can rather use "du nouveau millénaire" = "la belle dame du nouveau millénaire"

"génération Y" is used but not in this meaning. It's used for the Millennial generation but it's rather used to do a report about these people, and often in a pejorative meaning : to say that they are born with a video game in hands, that they work when they want, that they refuse constraints, that they always want to know why ...
