The Presidential administrations, IMO, are much better demarcation points. What's really asinine is hearing people who were born in 1980 referred to as Generation X - umm read the book please

Not necessarily. I believe it was either The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times that recently had an article about how those born in 1964 didn't want to be referred to as Baby Boomers because they couldn't relate to those born in the late 40s and early 50s. There was also a recent book that came out that said that those born after 1982 were part of the Millenium Generation (or something like that).
ETA: The Boomer Initative defines Baby Boomers as those born between 1946-1964.
I'm a child of boomers, but I'm not part of the so called Millenium Generation (as aren't most children of older boomers)
