Generation X - When??
Rob
I heard that generation x ended after January of 1981.
Taht means if you were born after January, 1981, then you
were in a new generation. Does anyone know if I'm right???

Interesting question. In fact, are there distinct boundaries for each of the
generations, if so what and for what? It'd be interesting to find out IMHO.
So if we are Gen X, what are the the littlies now? and how long did Gen X last?
That's the sort of thing I'd like to know.

You all might want to start by reading the a.s.g-x FAQ at
http://www.primenet.com/~wonn. It's not definitive, but it's a start.
Personally, I go by the Morrissey-Culkin Rule: If you're younger than
Morrissey and older than Macaulay Culkin, then you're a GenXer.

GenX's dates are from 1961-1981
and from what I understand there is a 20 year gap between all the
"generations"
during the wars there was the GI gen., then came the silent gen., next
was the baby boom gen., and finally ,genX, and now, those born after 1981
are called either genY or the millenials generation.
I have also heard genX being called the Baby Bust gen., the New Lost
gen., the Caretaker gen., the Nowhere gen., the boomerang gen., the 13th
gen., and the Free gen.
There are many many books on the subject in bookstores. I even saw a
book that listed what each generation's name was and what characterized
that generation. The names of the generations went way way back.. to, I
believe the 17 cen.

Hmmm. A while ago, I read a magazine article that called the After-81's
the "HIP-HOP GEN."

hey, i was born in '71 and i always thought that i just squeeked in.
aren't there a few cumpulsories, such as
-been conscious in the '70's
-watched charlies angels, etc before syndication
-can remember punk rock, the first time it happened
-remember second wave feminist marches, the first gay pride
parades, rainbow coalition demonstrations, vietnam vet
demonstrations
-wore any of the following items: clogs, bbottoms, those
multi-colored striped turtle-necked shirts a la bert 'n ernie,
those polyester blue pullovers with the photographs of horses
and skiiers on them...
-watched morgan freeman as the count on the electric company
-had at least one parent who wore cut-off jean shorts, had a
handle-bar mustache ;-) , owned a hibachi, or never wore a
bra.
if you can lay claim to any of these experiences, you are probably of
that often mis-defined generation-x.
i am in no way creating an elite checklist here, but being *young*
doesn't necessarily make you a gen-xer. the way i understand the
cultural demographic is that it is comprised of those between
(approx.) 25 and 35. any younger or older and your cultural education
and socialisation circumstances are too radically different to hang
together as a generational entity.
my trick, to determine whether anyone is around my age and therefore
of *my generation* is to mention the monks' 'dirty habits'. never
heard of it, you're prob not gen-x.
of course, none of this means that you have or have not the right to
like or participate in anything that is gen-x, including this
newsgroup (so don't bitch at me for being insular and exclusive).
like the FAQ says, it's not so much about age as it is about state of
mind.
oh yah, nice legs, shame about the face ;-)

The trick to determine if you're in the older gen-x generation is to
mention the Strawbs and grumble how they gave up their act to become the
Monks.

Damn. I was born in 1969, right following the summer of love and even
remember the US pullout from Viet Nam and Richard Nixon, but I don't
remember anything about the monks' 'dirty habits.' Oh, well, I still
remember the TV show, _Square Pegs_. Wasn't that written about me?

This reminds me of the other great French "bande dessinee", namely Tintin.
My confusion about the British band Thompson Twins was finally cleared up
when someone casually told me the band was named after the two police
detectives in the Tintin books. In French, they were the Dupont/Dupond
twins.
I could never figure out how three people amounted to twins.
Then it all made sense.

The druid in French was Panoramix. Boring. The bard in French was
Assurancetourix (tourist insurance), while his English counterpart was the
brilliant Cacophonix. Ideefix was the dog, and I don't know what he became
in English.

Has there been an international perspective put on the "generation(s)
question"? I have read the "Generations: A History of America's Future",
which (given the title) understandably discusses the U.S. experience on
the topic. However, have there been books/articles, etc. dedicated to
covering this topic on a worldwide scale (i.e. Do European/Asian, etc.
Xers, Boomers, etc. act/feel the same as their U.S. counterparts?)? I
have to say that there has to be some similarties....or were the 60s
"youth movements" that "hit" around the world (etc.) just a coincidence?

Generation Y is one of the names for the genration that begins after

It has been also called the Millenium Generation.
Check out

there is a story there that explains the generations.
Although it does not mention the Y generation, as it has already dubbed
that generation, the Millenial Generation, I've have heard it on Cspan,

'66 r00lZ.
In '64 they were just developing the framework. '69 was nothing new
and didn't run as well. '71 had the features that we judiciously dropped,
making '71 just plain bloated.

Whoops. The years are taking their toll (and I swear it goes up a

Which is strange, since they could have done the same joke in French.

Very perceptive, especially for a "Tim".

You're all still just shadows, mockeries of the perfection achieved in
the "Concept Model" year of 1957. A year that produced Micky Dupree
