I was told that the Baby Boomers ended with the election of JFK. That is 1961. Please let that be so. I was born 4 days after JFK was elected and I do not want to be lumped in with the Boomers.

I heard that is was either 1963 or 1965. I guess it's who defines it?

I can't say I blame you, But unfortunately the vast majority of when the Baby boomers ended and the Xers begin I've seen is 1965 (Lot of variation on when Xers end and Ys begin from 1975 to 1982). I am guessing 1965 was chosen because it would have been the first year the first (adult)baby boomers would have had children.

There seems to be a movement to split the later boomers off from the earlier ones, With the Later being called Generation Jones.

Baby boomers ended with the assassination of JFK, perhaps...

My parents were born in 1945, and so are not, strictly speaking, "Baby Boomers" (didn't that happen in 1946?)

These generational things can be damn hard to define. All I know is that I'm a crotchety 31-year-old. Does that make me late Gen-X, or early Gen-"WHY?"... haaaaaaaa
