Yup. BUT some claim that Gen-X actually began in 1960 and went until 1973 - as determined by Douglas Copeland's Gen-X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture. And I think Copeland may be the dude who actually invented the term "Gen-X."

I dunno. My kids always said I was far more X than Boomer I tend to agree.

Generation Jones, or the Jonesers, are supposed to be the bridge between Boomer and X. Maybe.
