>Most kids born in the 60s are not a boomer or genX. A forgotten bunch.

 

All kids born in the 60s are either boomers or genX. Because boomers are right next to genx, they're consecutive.

 

You can easily argue that they didn't start naming Gen X until Nirvana, and the oldest Gen X had graduated from high school 10 years before Nevermind was released. The Beatles on Ed Sullivan was 1964, Nirvana was 1991. 27 years separate those 2. Generations are 18 years long. If we were going to say that GenX started in 1982, culturally, that would mean that our cultural touchstones were pretty weak. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Bon Jovi. No one wrote a story saying "wow, these young folks are called Generation X, and they like corporate plastic crap, what it is that we're selling them"

 

I should point out that a bunch of the stuff that you're saying sounds about accurate. There just wasn't any Beatles at the Ed Sullivan in 1983 that we were able to identify as something that was part of a new generation, with a name. It took 8 years to get to Nirvana and the Gen X name.

Right. Year of birth. Boomers - 1945 (end of WWII) + 18 years (JFK assassination 1963).

 

And then, 18 years after that is Gen X.

 

It's not mathematically precise, but End of WWII to JFK Assassination = 18 years and a couple of months.

 

Cultural touchpoint for Baby Boomers is Beatles on Ed Sullivan early 1964.

 

Gen X didn't have anything like that in the early 80s culturally. It's just 18 years, then the next one.

 

But it's 18 + 18 + 18 , etc etc etc

The ability of billion dollar news organizations to report basic facts accurately is just falling apart.

 

They're all baby eaters there with impeccable ideological credentials, and the ones on the bottom are fucking stupid, can't read or write.
