Gen X and then Gen Y, silly huh?
Baby Boomers make sense because it's the sudden rise in births during or after a major war. The rest is just media hype.

Generations never had names before the Baby-Boomers. The reason was that World War II delayed many servicemen from starting families when they normally would have and the post war prosperity. Therefore there is no hard rule or specific dates applied in any arbitrary way.
The generation after the Baby-Boomers was referred to as Generation X. Primarily because they were viewed by the Baby-Boomers as not standing for any important ideals.
After that came Generation Y which had nothing to do with anything other than to differentiate them from Generation X.
Basic rule of thumb: born between 1946 and 1965 Boomer
born between 1966 and 1982 Gen X
born after 1983 Gen Y

Strauss & Howe of their 1991 e book "GENERATIONS" has chronicled American generations (inhabitants cohorts bonded via time, geography and substantial social/political activities) considering colonial days. The "Boomers" are the inhabitants develop that occured between 1946 and 1964. Strauss and Howe place the Boomers as being born between 1943 and 1960. They define Boomers as those today plagued via the Viet Nam conflict. in addition they define the Boomer era via "peer character". different generations, like the GI era is the gang born between 1901 and 1927. it is the gang that fought and gained WWII. The Silent era born between 1925 and 1943 have been purely that. Silent. They have been caught between 2 very dominant cohorts and did no longer truly produce many large leaders. be conscious we've not had a president born between 1925 and 1943. era X,is termed for the reality they're the 10th inhabitants cohort born after the progressive conflict. Strauss and Howe call this era the thirteenth, counting returned to first progressive cycle era born in 1701.
