What is the Generation Majority in CFC?

[GenMarshall]

I was going through the article about the American Generations in wikipedia. I suddenly became curious what Majority Generation frequently posts in CFC.
I have posted links to each Generation catagory for more information. Note the years corrisponds to the year of your birth.

Lost Generation (1883-1900)
G.I. Generation (1901-1924)
Silent Generation (1925-1942)
Baby Boomer (1943-1960)
Generation X (1961-1981)
Generation Y (1982-2003)
Generation Z (2004-2025) Not included in the poll

The referances for the generations are from Wikipedia's entery on the Book by William Strauss and Neil Howe

To note about the Baby Boom start year, I used William Strauss's and Neil Howe's definition

Thank you for making this a public poll.

Generation Y

 

[Sims2789]

Uh, the Baby Doomer generation starts after World War II.

 

[GenMarshall]

Being born (oviously on my profile) on 1983 puts me in the Generation Y group.

Uh, the Baby Doomer generation starts after World War II.

If you look closely at the links to the book written by the two men, they placed the start of the baby boom at 1943.

He's using the Strauss and Howe definition. (read the damn article)

I am clearly in generation X, even though I am a very late one. Although I prefer the term, Degeneration X. Got to love that wrestling Group.

EDIT. I've got to wonder why you left out the generation Z out of the poll.

I am clearly in generation X. All though I prefer the term, Degeneration X. Got to love that wrestling Group.

As for Y, most of us can't spell well due to public schooling, and underage drinking, and thus we prefer to be called Group Y.

By the looks in youre profile, it seem to happen in the mid-1980s.

[The Last Conformist]

Apparently, I'm generation Y. Are we suppose to be very inquisitive or something?

No, we're the cheap immitation of GenX. (We aren't very creative...)
