Feh
Any so-called "sociologist" or anyone else who uses the term Generation X and hasn't read Douglas Coupland's book, deserves 30 lashes with a wet noodle. Coupland himself has said he never meant the term to be used in the way it has been and was pretty appalled about its (usually incorrect) usage.
Maybe people born post-WWII like having a silly label attached to them, but when someone calls me or people my age a "Generation X-er" I find it degrading and dehumanizing. As Michael Stipe so eloquently said, labels are for canned food.
