just about every definition puts that in gen-x. gen-x ends at some point between 1982 (probably the most common standard on this board) to 1985.

it's up to you. you probably shouldn't. much of the criticism here of gen-x comes from the following generational progression:

-screaming loudly in the early-90's about how the boomers were corporate drones, and how gen-x would overturn things and choose "slackerdom" over the boomer lifestyle

-violently reversing course; frantically trying to copy and ape the boomer lifestyle

-failing to do so as successfully, and thus appearing ultimately pathetic

If you were alive in the 90s you knew then that the "slacker" schtick was fake/time-limited. All the same people running slacker schtick were taking out tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. The main virtue of the Gen X ironic distance/above it all mentality was that they weren't as obnoxious and "activist" about their social change agenda. Gen X just quietly worked to further their pro-local/independent/anti-corporate, pro-gay rights, pro-destruction of the concept of IP, pro-urban/anti-suburban POV. It wasn't until millennials came along that SJWs emerged and victory through shrillness became the M.O. of the left.

It's the rough math of 20 years = generation, so boomers are 45-65 Gen X 65-85. That's super dumb though. Gen X is later than 65 start. People who were born in 65 were potentially young yuppies in the late 80s i.e. late boomers. Late boomers are very distinct from boomers anyway because they're more children of the 70s, i.e. the Dazed and Confused generation, who were too young to be at Woodstock or get drafted to go to Vietnam. It should be a 15 years concept. Boomers proper are 39-52, late boomers are 52-67. Gen X is 67-82. Millennials will cut off at 97 (i.e. could vote in 2016) and 98-2013 will be a distinct generation.

"reached adulthood in 90s" = graduated high school in 2000 as minimum cut off. But all the other generational markers that happened late 80s/early 90s it's a fair line to draw. A 9 year old with older siblings could've understood what Nevermind was when it dropped in 91. They could've heard the Chronic and seen the G Thang video in summer 92 and understood it was different, connected it to what changed in race relations in the late 80s/early 90s that culminated with Rodney King riots. Was an adult and out of the house on 9/11, etc.

Quintessential gen x movies like Reality Bites, Singles, Clerks, etc featured characters and actors born in the mid 1960s. If 1981 is Gen X, then it is the tail end. Any definition of Gen X lasting into the mid- to late-1980s is silly.

Those strike me as quite different. Remembering only the end of an era (the fall of the USSR) would mean that the era likely didn't have much influence on the person.

I agree that some genuine Cold War apprehension about commies and nukes is an important part of the Gen X experience.

break down the years however you need to. to me, the real division is technology.

if you listened to tapes or CDs growing up, didn't routinely use the internet except for really basic shit (certainly not web 2.0 stuff like regular youtube usage, streaming porn, etc), and you only had a basic cell phone that didn't text in high school (if at all), then you are profoundly dissimilar to what we refer to and think of as 'millenials.'

their lives and socialization revolve around the internet and internet culture. they don't really remember living in a world without media on demand or the kind of communication technology that allows you to have instant online relationships. millenials don't give a fuck about driving, college, or moving out of their parents house until much later stages of youth. if you were born in the early 80s, any of your friends that were like this were total fucking weirdos. if you were born in the early 90s, it's probably closer to the norm.

it's hard to put a hard year on that, but basically the cultural gap between someone born in '82 and '92 is sufficiently wide that it's retarded to lump them together.

They share helicopter parents, zero-tolerance school culture, new and rapidly developing internet and computer technology during formative years, the rise of play dates, credentialism, bloated college debt, disproportionate economic ass-kicking and the likelihood of being the first generation to be worse off than its parents.

AIM and Myspace vs. texting and Facebook doesn't justify the designation of different generations.

Another vote for 80-85 as no-man's land.

I equate Gen X with being the last generation where its members could be assured a comfortable standard of living that met or exceeded that of their parents via hard work, following the rules, and kissing the right asses.

Gen X is "work hard, play hard" and "you can have it all" and "climb the corporate ladder." It's walking to work in your sneakers (Gen X, for the most part, hates the idea of telecommuting). Gen X is the epitome of GC. Everything remotely subversive that Boomers created (punk, hippie shit) was corporatized and monetized by Gen X. We see this angst played out in Reality Bites and Wayne's World, two movies that Gen X adults related to. If you were a kid when you saw those movies, you're probably not Gen X.

Gen X kids loved malls and consumerism. They aren't Instagram whores (since that's tech), but they love to buy things. Like swimming pools, homes, cars. Gen X isn't so much about travel or even eat-pray-love (despite eat-pray-love being written by a Gen Xer). They're about McMansions and BMWs.

Gen X, for all their bluster and angst, follows the rules. That's "work-hard-play-hard". They will brag about staying at the office late and working nights and weekends, and how they partied hard on a Thursday night and worked straight through the weekend CRUSHING IT.

If you were born in 80-85, you weren't really a kid or an adult when 9/11 happened. You were in high school or college. You didn't get as badly pwned by ITE as someone who graduated college in 2009, but your career was still in its formative years. You got internet in high school, downloading porn and napster in college, and were texting by your early to mid 20s (i.e. before your brains turned to concrete).

My friends who were born in 1975 or older - they all love to talk on the phone, hate texting, are all super corporate gunners sucking GC's cock, whereas my 80-85 friends have some degree of cynicism about GC and the corporate world even if they live in it. Many are more creative or entrepreneurial, more comfortable with tech, prefer texting to phone.

also called the "Oregon Trail Generation"

https://socialmediaweek.org/blog/2015/04/oregon-trail-generation/

We’re an enigma, those of us born at the tail end of the 70s and the start of the 80s. Some of the “generational” experts lazily glob us on to Generation X, and others just shove us over to the Millennials they love to hate – no one really gets us or knows where we belong.

We’ve been called Generation Catalano, Xennials, and The Lucky Ones, but no name has really stuck for this strange micro-generation that has both a healthy portion of Gen X grunge cynicism, and a dash of the unbridled optimism of Millennials.

A big part of what makes us the square peg in the round hole of named generations is our strange relationship with technology and the internet. We came of age just as the very essence of communication was experiencing a seismic shift, and it’s given us a unique perspective that’s half analog old school and half digital new school.

You Have Died of Dysentery

If you can distinctly recall the excitement of walking into your weekly computer lab session and seeing a room full of Apple 2Es displaying the start screen of Oregon Trail, you’re a member of this nameless generation, my friend.

We were the first group of kids who grew up with household computers, but still novel enough to elicit confusion and wonder. Gen X individuals were already fully-formed teens or young adults when computers became mainstream, and Millennials can’t even remember a time before computers.

But, when we first placed our sticky little fingers on a primitive Mac, we were elementary school kids whose brains were curious sponges. We learned how to use these impressive machines at a time when average middle class families were just starting to be able to afford to buy their own massive desktops.

This made us the first children to grow up figuring it out, as opposed to having an innate understanding of new technology the way Millennials did, or feeling slightly alienated from it the way Gen X did.

An AOL Adolescence

Did you come home from middle school and head straight to AOL, praying all the time that you’d hear those magic words, “You’ve Got Mail” after waiting for the painfully slow dial-up internet to connect? If so, then yes, you are a member of the Oregon Trail Generation. And you are definitely part of this generation if you hopped in and out of sketchy chat rooms asking others their A/S/L (age/sex/location for the uninitiated).

Precisely at the time that you were becoming obsessed with celebrities, music and the opposite sex, you magically had access to “the internet,” a thing that few normal people even partially grasped the power of at the time.

We were the first group of high school kids to do research for papers both online and in an old-fashioned card catalogue, which many millennials have never even heard of by the way (I know because I asked my 21-year-old intern and he started stuttering about library cards).

Because we had one foot in the traditional ways of yore and one foot in the digital information age, we appreciate both in a way that other generations don’t. We can quickly turn curmudgeonly in the face of teens who’ve never written a letter, but we’re glued to our smartphones just like they are.

Those born in the late 70s and early 80s were the last group to have a childhood devoid of all the technology that makes childhood and adolescence today pretty much the worst thing imaginable. We were the last gasp of a time before sexting, Facebook shaming, and constant communication.

We used pay-phones; we showed up at each other’s houses without warning; we often spoke to our friends’ parents before we got to speak to them; and we had to wait at least an hour to see any photos we’d taken. But for the group of kids just a little younger than us, the whole world changed, and that’s not an exaggeration. In fact, it’s possible that you had a completely different childhood experience than a sibling just 5 years your junior, which is pretty mind-blowing.

Napster U

Thanks to the evil genius of Sean Parker, most of us were in college in the heyday of Napster and spent many a night using the university’s communal Ethernet to pillage our friends’ music libraries at breakneck speeds. With mouths agape at having downloaded the entire OAR album in under five seconds, we built our music libraries faster than any other dorm-dwelling generation in history.

We were the first to experience the beauty of sharing and downloading mass amounts of music faster than you can say, “Third Eye Blind,” which made the adoption of MP3 players and music streaming apps perfectly natural. Yet, we still distinctly remember buying cassette singles, joining those scam-tastic CD clubs and recording songs onto tapes from the radio. The very nature of buying and listening to music changed completely within the first 20 years of our lives.

A Youth Untouched by Social Media

The importance of going through some of life’s toughest years without the toxic intrusion of social media really can’t be overstated. Myspace was born in 2003 and Facebook became available to all college students in 2004. So if you were born in 1981-1982, for example, you were literally the last graduating class to finish college without social media being part of the experience.

When we get together with our fellow Oregon Trail Generation friends, we frequently discuss how insanely glad we are that we escaped the middle school, high school and college years before social media took over and made an already challenging life stage exponentially more hellish.

We all talked crazy amounts of shit about each other, took pictures of ourselves and our friends doing shockingly inappropriate things and spread rumors like it was our jobs, but we just never had to worry about any of it ending up in a place where everyone and their moms (literally) could see it a hot second after it happened.

But unlike our older Gen X siblings, we were still young and dumb enough to get really into MySpace and Facebook in its first few years, so we understand what it feels like to overshare on social media and stalk a new crush’s page.

Time after time, we late 70s and early 80s babies were on the cusp of changes that essentially transformed modern life and, for better or worse, it’s shaped who we are and how we relate to the world.

I'd say late gen X.

Aren't generations supposed to be 20 years? So 45 to 65 for boomers, 65 to 85 for gen x?

I was born in 90 and early 80s bros are culturally just very different from 85 on. The main difference, I think, was attending primary school in the 90s vs 80s and having access to the web in your early years.

Gen X = getting to share in the prosperity of the Dot Com Bubble. When younger remembered the USSR as relevant. Would have protested globalism in Seattle if a liberal. Began careers before ITE.

Gen Y = grew up as the web and cell phones matured. Traumatized by 9/11. Early careers involved ITE.

Millennials = SJWs and smartphones. Not permanently traumatized by ITE. Traveltravel. Gay Pride.

Gen Z = bunch of 4chan hackers installing Trump as President and destabilizing the EU. Already a crypto millionaire.

I'd say high school class of 2000 are the first millennials, regardless of birthdate (so this is going to be 1981-1982, but not 1980). It's a cultural thing, anyway, so this definition makes more sense than a birthday in my mind.
