Me too.

Take comfort in the fact that though we may be stuck between X and Y, we do have the distinct honor of being "Bicentennial Babies". Take that, everyone not born in 1976! :P

From what I've read late 70's are Gen Y (or millenial). Everything I've read about Gen Y has it starting in either 77 or 78 going through until early 90s. Yeah I think I was 13 when Kurt died... I still remember people having HUGE buttons with his face on it and stuff (mostly the older kids...)

It's actually interesting what they say about our generation. In one of my classes we were given a packet of stats and info that a research firm put together to present to various companies who would want to market their products to Gen Y and what they had to say about us was quite interesting. This website says it's 1981, but I found just as many that said it starts in 1977... none of these things are set in stone things anyway... the generation labels are basically created for marketing purposes....
