A Japan and Asia and portions of Europe will have their own generational definitions based on major cultural, political, and economic influences. What is Generation Names & Years? Neil Howe and William Strauss define generational cohorts in the U.S. from 1900 on as follows. 2000–: New Silent Generation or Generation Z. 1980 to 2000: Millennials or Generation Y. 1965 to 1979: Thirteeners or Generation X. 1946 to 1964: Baby Boomers.

See the section below about why this overlap. iGen / Gen Z: Born between 1995 and 2012 As of 2017 most of these folks are still too young to have made an impact. However the older ones might be fighting our war in Afghanistan. The younger ones are hopefully still in school and planning on careers and jobs that will have strong demand and generate new opportunities. Gen Y: "The Millennials" Born between 1980 and 1994 The Millennials grew up and began their careers in a time when: Almost every home (except 3rd world countries) had an internet connection and a computer2008, the largest economic decline since the great depression911 Terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the PentagonThe effect of 20+ years of offshoring of American jobs is finally feltEnron - energy trading scams and corporate fraud on a national levelGlobal warming becoming obvious with unusually severe storms, hotter weather, colder weather, more droughts etcPresident G. W. Bush, Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney deceived the entire nation about weapons of mass destruction of the nuclear and biological type and the subsequent invasion and occupation of IraqThe explosive growth in online companies such as Google, Facebook, SalesForce.com, LinkedIn, EBay, PayPalA revolution in the way we work, including widespread acceptance of flex-time, work from home, freelancing. Gen X: Born between 1965 and 1979 According to WikiPedia, Gen X was originally called "Gen Bust" because their birth rate was vastly smaller than the preceding Baby Boomers. Gen X'ers were the first generation to experience: The highest level of education in the US to dateThe 1976 Arab Oil Debacle and the first gas shortages in the USThe price of gold soaring to $1000/oz for the first timeThe fall of the Berlin Wall and the splitting apart of the Soviet UnionMTV and the rise of DiscoChina's momentary flirtation with personal freedom and the tragedy of Tiananmen Square Gen X: Born between 1965 and 1979 According to WikiPedia, Gen X was originally called "Gen Bust" because their birth rate was vastly smaller than the preceding Baby Boomers.

If your birth date falls on the border between two generations, which one do you pick? Pick the Generation Names and Years that you relate to the most, and the one you want to be part of. Why so arbitrary? This is not a precise science with firm definitions. Updates and Revisions On 10-21-2017 we added info on iGen, and changed their start date from 1996 to 1995, and changed Millennials end date from 1995 to 1994. To be consistent with Jean Twenge PhD's work. Also changed iGen end date from 2010 to 2012 for the same reason. On 10-7-2017 we start to refer to Gen Z as "iGen" based on a book by Generation researcher Jean M. Twenge PhD. On 8-11-2017 we added a section on Xennials. On 9-29-2016 we made the following adjustments to the date ranges of Gen x, Millenials, Gen Z: Changed Gen X last births date from 1981 to 1979Changed Millennial start birth date from 1975 to 1980Changed Gen Z start birth date from 1995 to 1996Changed Gen Z last births date from 2015 to 2010 On 11-9-2016 we made these changes, based on further research: Changed Silent Generation start from 1923 to 1925 and end from 1944 to 1945 based on more researchChanged the end of births for the greatest generation from 1925 to 1924 - for the convenience of having less overlapChanged Gen X start from 1961 to 1965 - and end back to 1979 - based on more research and to be consistent with Pew Why make these changes? The cut off dates for each generation vary over time as the characteristics of that generation become more well understood. In the US, it appears demographers are trying to stick to ranges of 15 years (Japan uses 10 years). Finally, as the public pays more attention to generations, such as Millenials, certain dates become more accepted. FAQs:
