When does Generation X end and Generation Y begin?
My one son says it is related to Grunge and Curt Cobains suicide.
My other son says it is related to being born after the TRA of 1984.
seriorusly, what is the boards consensus on this truly earth shaking topic.

Generation X is ages 25 - 37, according to Fox News.

Before we were known as Generation X, we were known as the Reagan Generation. Guess the media couldn't deal with a generation feeling like it was influenced by Reagan.
So, anybody that can't remember Reagan is definitely Generation Y.
Oh, good Lord.. I remember Reagan on Death Valley Days.. what does that make ME?!! (don't answer!)

I do not like being called a Generation Xer, I prefer to be called 'sir'.

She probably is younger than you think and just had diapers washed in 20-Mule Team, and has a very good memory from her infancy.

Grandaughter, what have I told you about talking to older men on the computer!! You get right back in your room & finish your algebra homework right now:!!!:
In one of my wife's marketing books, it listed people with birthdates from 1965-1975 as Gen X, with 1976-198? as the Y's.
:shrug:
I looked around for a reference, but she said she sold the books back at the end of the semester.
