I thought a Baby Boomer was someone in the 40-60 range. (e.g., someone born in roughly right after WWII through about the early-60's)

I don't think of 35-year-olds as Baby Boomers.

I also think there should be a Baby Bust generation in there, covering today's thirty-somethings. Today's 35-year-olds aren't "grungy" enough to be X'ers. Except for the small minority that got into British punk before Seattle became cool. I'm good with them being honorary considered X'ers.

So the mainstream Gen-X is the kids born in the early-to-late-70s, leaving Y for everybody after that: up through today's college kids. (Do they have their own title yet?)

Why am I rambling about this? Because these surveys show up every few weeks in Milesbuzz and I'm growing weary of them.
