Probably on the edge—I am “technically” a boomer, but I am so close to Gen X, my cohort really identifies more with classic X behavior than Boomer behavior.

That's funny, I am also born at the very end of the "Boomer" generation, and don't identify at all with the GenXers. In my case I believe it is because I was the youngest of five, and so was heavily influenced culturally by my older siblings' tastes.

I am the youngest of four. Having to eat their crap every turn of my young life was enough to turn me away: my school was beat up, everything was crowded,...it was like following a plague of locusts.

Mine was the first class to get “new” math and they experimented on us with “open classrooms.” The year after me, they started busing.

But I get your point.

Also a youngest of five Boomer here, on the cusp into Gen X. I definitely was culturally skewed older by my siblings, but I still seem to have about 15-20% of the Gen Xers’ sensibility mixed in.
