[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my opinion, if you remember the jfk assasination, you are a boomer.  After, gen x[/quote]

Yeah, that's the quintessential boomer question. "Where were  you when Kennedy was shot?" [/quote]

I think millennials can be identified with a question like this too. If you were in school or college on 9/11, you’re a millennial. What would it be for Gen X? The Challenger? [/quote]

There really is no defining question like this for Xers. I think it's if they can remember the Reagan/Carter election. [/quote]

Yes there is.  Where were you when you found out Kurt Cobain was dead?  I bet a lot of my fellow Gen Xers would agree.[/quote]

Only if you were white.[/quote]

Nah. I'm white and that was not on my radar either.  I was practicing law by then anyway.[/quote]
If you were 24+ in 1994, you are not an Xer.[/quote]

The thread is asking about people born between 60-64 and suggesting that they are Gen X (they aren't).

I was born in 1967. But I actually agree: we are The Lost Generation, because we aren't Boomers and we really aren't Gen X either.[b] We are the Breakfast Club/Brat Pack Generation.[/quote][/b]

You can't possibly be saying that the Brat Pack weren't Xers?  They were the poster children of generation X. [/quote] Except most of them were born 60-65, which technically puts them in Baby boomer territory. [/quote]

They starred in coming of age movies for Gen Xers.  Boomers were already of age - they had done the whole HS, college, first apt thing well before those movies came out.

It isn't the age of the actors as much as it is the movies that they were in.  Plus, I think some of us on this thread have been saying that the cut off for Gen X or the Lost Gen or whatever you want to call us - this Brat Pack Gen - should include earlier 60's, too. Late 70's/early 80's seems like another generation entirely with totally different cultural references.[/quote]
