Question:I was born at the tail end of the baby boom....1946 to 1964...

Then there was the Jones Generation. A cusp between Boomers and Gen Y-ers, they dealt with "keeping up with the Joneses."

Generation X could have been a category I fell into...'65-'80...we grew up with video games and MTV.

MTV Generation , aka XY Cusp, learned to use the internet and adapt to technology quickly. Mostly they spent their teenage years in the 90's...'75-'85

Boomerang Generation...'82-'86...a subgroup of the Y culture...the group that grew up following September 11.

Generation Y...'76-2001...Internet played an important part in the lives of these people...They grew up with the "culture wars"

Generation Z...the newest generation on the block..

A Baby Boomer is someone born between 1946 and 1964.
For the other generations- you may want to do some searching on the Internet yourself.

Or, better yet- go to your local public library and ask the staff to show you books (American History) on the 70s, 80s and 90s.

a few years back i remember hearing on television, refering to the following generation as generation x. don't know if this will help any or not.

Baby boomers started after WWII. When vets started returning, children in families all over the countriy started mushrooming.
