GEN-X all the way. My parents were actually the Silent generation, and I probably should've been a baby boomer, but I was a surprise later in life baby. Love being Gen-X, and all the usual memes and stereotypes apply. except I wasn't a latchkey kid, mom was home
I have a millennial son, and he exemplifies that, and also 2 Gen Z kids

DH & I are both smack dab in the middle of Gen-X.

I love being Gen-X & totally agree w/ all the Gen-X memes & reels!

Our 3 kids are all Gen-Z - 2000, 2001, & 2009.

DH is boomer (1956).

I'm an early Gen X (1967) with late Silent Generation parents (1942 and 1944).

DS is Millenial (1994) and DD is Gen Z (1999). So many generations!

Good question.

 

[dvcgirl67]

Gen X (1967) married a Gen Xer (1969). Both sets of parents were from the Silent Generation....his parents early in that generation, mine at the tail end. No kids.

We love all the memes about our generation....all totally true.

Good question.

Did you mean what the date span is, or why they determine those dates?


*edit*
Good ole Wikipedia.

A generation refers to all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively.[1] It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about 20–⁠30 years, during which children are born and grow up, become adults, and begin to have children."
