I have a question for everyone. It has been said that the "Baby-boomers" ended with the birth year 1963. It has also been said that the "Gen-X" generation began with the birth year 1976. What do you call people born between 1963 and 1976? I was born in 1967. Where does that leave me? I am too young to be a baby-boomer, and I am too old to be a Gen-Xer. I have heard monikers given to people like me, but they are really lame. Does anyone know any really good monikers for people born between 1963 and 1976?

I'd like to know too... I was born in '72

if you're talking about the Chinese Zodiac, 1967 was the Year of the Horse. I know that because I, too, was born in '67.
The interesting thing is that my daughter, who is a
real daddy's girl, was also born in the Year of the Horse, 2002.

Another 37 year old checking in here.
We are not old! We are 37!
I heard somewhere that we were called something that started with a B, like Breakers, or something stupid like that.
I just like knowing that I am not in my husband's generation. He was born in '63, and I tease him that we are of different generations. hehehehe
I got four years he will never see again!

I found it. Barna Research calls those aged 20-38 "Busters." So, I guess they figure Gen-X to be under age 20.

.

Perhaps I should act like 37year old but I certainly never feel it. My mental age is as immature as ever.

I'll always go by what my 42 year old sister says.
As soon as they bring in a law that states that anyone over the age of 18 has to act mature and responsible (i wouldn't put it past either the Labour (mis)government or the EC killjoys to do so), she will. Until then, she'll carry on the way she is doing so (and she's a parole officer)
