I`m 36 and i`m not sure exactly where i am fitting,i think that those born between 1965 and 1970 are not totaly BB or GX we`re more in-between,too young for one side too old for the other.

Hell, I'm already there and I'm not even 30.

I think my generation (b. 1985-ish) are apparently called the "Dot Com Generation".

Truthfully, I'm probably already there. The phrase "....snot nosed punks" preceeded by a colorful metaphor pops into my head quite frequently these days.

"Ass-end of Generation X." Not that has a good ring to it!

It almost makes me ashamed I wasn't born 20 years earlier. At least then my generation wouldn't have such a stupid name. It's just like finding a name for the decade we're in: No name has been chosen, and all the choices sound crappy.

Anyway, why can't they pick a more honest and descriptive name for the newest generation?

Can't remember the exact quote, but Seth Green put it something like this,


Ah, the baby bommer generation. They had free sex and drugs. Now that we are able to go to the party, the bands gone home. WTF?

The Simpsons generation?

As for the decade thing, how 'bout the naughties?

I think I'll stick with "The Dot Com Generation" and "This decade" now that I've heard those suggestions.

damn! must we always be divided into demographic subgroups so we may be more easily marketed to? fuck that. oh and yea, baby boomers piss me off. go cut your hair you fucking hippy! and get a job while your at it!

Those born around 1965-75 were referred to as "Baby Busters". The name just didn't catch on widely..thankfully. So usually they are grouped in with Gen-X

Of my brothers and sisters 4 are boomers, 5 are busters, and 2 are Gen-X'ers. My parents? Well, they're just old and grumpy
