I think the term 'gen-x' is going to be applied to college age kids by dumb reporters for the next 20 years, regardless of its actual meaning.

Might as well just call them "hipsters", "college grads", "the target market" or "yuppies".

It is as bad as it would be calling them Baby Boomers or the Generation that survived the Great Depression and WWII.

I read a recent article here on FR in which the Gen-X generation spans from births between 1960 (or early '60s) and 1980. Gen Y starts at 1980. So the youngest Gen X-ers would be around 23 or so right now, and the oldest just starting to turn 40. I'm in the middle at 30.

However, my numbers could be wrong since there are probably varying methods to measure the ages of "Gen X". :)
