Indigo kids, Star kids, Cosmic seed kids..WTH?

I have seen a lot of threads and articles on the internet lately about supposed special children and even adults.
I have read some things, but still do not really get what any of this means of where people are getting this stuff and what makes it real? How many different types...Indigo children, Aquarian children, Black eyed children,Star children...Crystal kids,Cosmic Seeds, Rainbow kids...come on!!!
I am sure that I missed some... Seriously, I am not trying to offend anyone of their beliefs, but where is this coming from? Does anyone know? And, whats the point? I truly want to get this, but it seems a bit farfetched! And do we really need so many new "special" types of people? I just want to understand....
