Whether you’re an elder Millennial who identifies more with Gen X or a ’90s baby who feels caught in between Gen Y and Gen Z, these new guidelines can help—no cap.
Generation X is anyone born from 1965 to 1980. Baby boomers are anyone born from 1946 to 1964. Millennials are anyone born from 1981 to 1996. Generation Z is anyone born from 1997 to 2012.
However, based on widespread consensus as well as new Gen Z analysis by the Pew Research Center, and the one generation defined by the U.S. Census Bureau (Baby Boomers), these are the birth years and ages of the generations you’ll want to use in 2024.
It can be hard to find the lines between Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z, but here's what the generation names are, and when they begin and end.
Generation X (often shortened to Gen X) is the demographic cohort following the Baby Boomers and preceding Millennials. Researchers and popular media often use the mid-1960s as its starting birth years and the late 1970s as its ending birth years, with the generation being generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980.
Baby boomers, the eldest, were born between 1946 and 1964. Following them is Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980. Subsequently, Generation Y, commonly referred to as Millennials, spans births from approximately 1981 to 1996.
Millennials span a 16-year range, according to Pew. The Gen X cohort was another 16-year group, but the boomers had a 19-year range and the silent generation an 18-year range.
Generation X, or Gen X, is a term typically used to describe the generation of Americans born between 1965 and 1980, although some sources use slightly different ranges. Generation X follows the baby boomer generation and precedes the millennial generation.
Generation X, or Gen X, refers to the generation of people born between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s. Gen X-ers, falling between baby boomers and millennials, number around 65 million.
When we have the data to study groups of similarly aged people over time, we won’t always default to using the standard generational definitions and labels, like Gen Z, Millennials or Baby Boomers.
