Gen X. 90s indie music was pretty defining for us I thought.
Y here. I'd say that it was for me too.
There's certainly some overlap there...
Me, I'm happy that I'm still able to see bands like Buffalo Tom and Local H perform.

#42Annoying - I keep on seeing different standards for X and Y, and never know which one I belong to, because I was born at the end of 1981. I am XY I guess.
I was born in 82 and have way too much in common with kids in HS. Perhaps this is because my first job was for a high school social network and my wife is a Young Adult Librarian.

Also 1981 here. A lot of people consider the border between Gen X and Millenials (usually 1981-1982, but sometimes as early as 1979 or as late as 1984) to be a distinct generation, with characteristics of both. Wikipedia calls it the "Cold Y Generation".

#45Generation X. Born in 1981, so I just barely snuck in to that category, lol! :-)
I prefer to think of myself as from the "Beverly Hills, 90210" generation. Dylan McKay is my soul mate.

#47The Baby Boomer Generation ends in '64 according to Wikipedia, not 1960. Though many people consider it actually finished in 1963.

#48BTW, how is (1925 - 1942) the "silent" generation? Alan Ginsberg, my favorite poet, who wrote 'Howl', one of the greatest epic poems ever, was born in 1926. In fact most of the beats probably fall into that category. They can hardly be called "silent".

#49Generation Y by birth, though I feel like I can appreciate aspects of each generation listed. 90's indie music had a big influence on me too, and my parents are Baby Boomers (yes, they had children late in life). Perhaps I'm transgenerational?
