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).

[b]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. We are the Breakfast Club/Brat Pack Generation.[/quote][/b]

[b]I tend to agree with you.  The younger Boomers and the older Gen Xers fall into this category I think. We were the Breakfast Club/St Elmo's Fire generation.  Latchkey kids who relied heavily on each other to get through life.  We started shared group rentals after college as opposed to getting married after college.[/quote][/b]

Which is generation X. Why the confusion?  [/quote]

It's the wide span of ages that encompasses Gen X.  [b]There was a difference being an older teen/college age when the Breakfast club and St Elmo's Fire came out and being a preschooler when those movies came out.  There was a difference between going to a high school dance when Michael Jackson first came out with Thriller and having the song played at a HS dance 10 or 20 years later (if it was played at all).[/b]

We were definitely after the Saturday Night Fever crowd but also quite a bit before the kids born in the 70's or 80's.

Someone who was an older teen when these movies came out is definetly an Xer. These are generation x movies!  Someone who was a preschooler when they came out was a millennial. [/quote]

Gen X spans from mid 60's to early 80's.  The Breakfast Club came out in 1985.  So if you were born in 1982 you would have been in preschool when the Breakfast Club came out.
