[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen X is usually defined as 1965-1980.[/quote]

I would run it from 1960 to 1980. I was always told that to be a Boomer you had to have been old enough to be drafted for Vietnam if you were male. So, really, Boomers stop a few years before 1960.

People born in the late 50s and early 60s did not have a lot of the shared experiences that marked boomers.

Agree. My mom was born in 1957 and she always said she never felt anything in common with boomers. [/quote]

I was born in 78 so I'm Gen X but I don't feel that I have anything in common with someone born in 1957, either. The late 70's is definitely a micro-generation. [/quote]

I was born in 1974 and one of my best friends was born in 1985 . I definitely have more stuff in common with her than someone born in 1957.[/quote]

Born in 1973 and I have friends who are younger and older - and obviously I have the MOST in common with people who were born a few years before or after me. Gen X is used to being misunderstood and ignored, that said. Whatever.[/quote]
