Since you’re on the Internet right now you’ve probably already noticed that this space is pretty much dominated by a younger crowd. You’ve likely heard them referred to as “Millennials”. Or is it Gen Z? And how are they different from Generations X and Y? And how can you make heads or tails of which one you belong to, and what defines your generation?
According sociologist Karl Mannheim, it all comes down to “generational location,” meaning that all members of a generation share a similar collective experience.

SUMMARY
-As of now, there are five living generations in the US: the Traditionalists, who were born before 1945. Then there’s the Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964. Anyone born between 1965 and 1979 are considered Generation X, while Millennials, or Gen Y, were born between 1980 and 1995. Finally, there’s Gen Z, or Centennials, who were born from 1996 to the present.
-Most Traditionalists value hard work, commitment, and practicality, and they don’t like to be wasteful.
-Boomers started out liberal, when they were involved in all the political and social movements, but then grew more conservative as they aged.
-Gen X got to experience the aftermath of all the changes the Boomers made. The use of computers also took off during these years, making Gen X more entrepreneurial than their parents and grandparents.
-Other generations complain that Millennials are selfish, entitled, narcissistic, addicted to their phones, lazy, impatient, impulsive, overly sensitive, weak-willed, and the name-calling goes on and on.
-Gen Z also tends to value collaboration more, in both school and work. They have a very different relationship with digital devices than previous generations.
-Millennials and Centennials share the most similarities and collective experiences out of all the living generations, so there’s a lot of debate about the exact range for each of them.

An important marker for Gen X was left out. We are the MTV generation. You did mention music defined my generation, which is true, more specifically music videos MTV. Where as music was important to boomers too but they grew up with music on the radio rather than music videos.

Love how you skip over millennials going through Iraq, Afghanistan, 9-11, recession, Banker bailout and of course the attack on the middle class by outsourcing jobs.

I really don't understand how a generation can be better or worst? Every generation lives in the world the previous generation created!

Gen X. Spanning the analogue to digital age. The most unique.

There are actually 6 generations right now. They forgot to mention Generation Alpha, for those who were born since 2010. They aren't Gen Z at all.

When buying

Traditionalist - Do I really need this?
Boomer - What brand again?
Gen X - What freebies come with it? Warranty?
Millenials - Wait. I am Googling the makers website...and reviews....
Gen Z- Does it work with an app? Let me check some influencers.

technically i'm gen Z but i'm an older gen Z (i'm 22, born in 1996) and i def don't relate to current 15 year olds and their memes, but i also don't relate to 32 year olds terribly well. i relate more with young millenials born after 93.

ALL MY GEN Y/Millenials, we’re the last of a dying breed.
Born in 1989, I can remember using dial-up connection and rewinding my VHS tape with my fingers. And having to wait to tape videos on VHS before social media/youtube became thing.

To add; I believe “late boomers” born 1961-1964 are called generation jones or Xoomers(X & boomer).
And Gen-Z I’ve read ends around 2010.
Gen Alpha (2011-2025)
and then I guess after that would be Gen Beta 🤷🏾‍♀️
(2026 - 2041) I guess, oh man guess the term “Ok Millenial” will be a thing then 😩
