What generation am I?

[Tiiiigergirl]

I turn 36 this year. I am not old enough to be a boomer. The very youngest of them were born in 1962 I think. I think I'm too old to be a Gen x'er or is it y'er. I'm in the middle and feeling just a little left out! Is my generation called anything?

I think we are the Gen-X'ers. I'll be 34 in May.

I missed baby boomer by 5 months, need to be born in '45 or later. I think I am a 'war baby'.

You are a Gen X'er. I believe Gen X is something like 1963-1975 or so or something like that.....Gen Y started in the late 70's early 80's...I also have heard that generation called the baby boomlet.
