Of course, those are only approximations, always a couple of years leeway on each end, mainly depending on how one feels about themselves.

Hmm. I guess I'm technically a fairly old Gen-Xer according to that listing, but I sure don't feel like one. Gen Xers always seemed like they were much younger than me...skateboarding and snowboarding, and just getting out of diapers when I was going into high school.
And Boomers always felt much older than me. They were my teachers, and my friend's parents.
And I tend to avoid all news. My wife tells me if something important happens.
And what's with "Generation Z?" Is some one naming these things by the Mayan calendar? No need for any more generations after 2012?
