I was just wondering how many of you fall into the X Generation and how many fall into the Y Generation?
1964 - 1974 - X
i think after so many years of heavy drinking, i belong to the XO generation...
That's classified information.
I didnt realise I was gen x.
I always assume gen x was those in the 80s
i thought gen x was those born in 70s -80s ??
Basket....in jetta's definition...I am gen x.
In juicy's definition...I am gen x.
How come I dont have those style of gen x?
Not sure what behavior your impression of Xs.
But here is a general overview of the report......from the US classification....
The study, 'Economic Mobility: Is the American Dream Alive and Well?" focuses on the income of males 30-39 in 2004 (those born April, 1964 – March, 1974) and is based on Census/BLS CPS March supplement data.
The study which was released on May 25, 2007, emphasized that in real dollars, this generation made less (by 12%) than their fathers had at that same age in 1974, thus reversing a historical trend. The study also suggests that per year increases in the portion of father/son family household income generated by fathers/sons have slowed (from an average of 0.9% to 0.3%), barely keeping pace with inflation, though increases in overall father/son family household income are progressively higher each year because more women are entering the workplace, contributing to family household income
See anything you can relate to?
In a study of British teenagers for Women’s Own magazine, she came across a group of teenagers who were living outside of acceptable conservative mores by sleeping around, rejecting religion and disobeying their parents. When this group was rejected for use in the magazine, she co-authored a book with Charles Hamblett called Generation X.
What does it matter to you if we're Gen X or Y??
bet you it's for some project..
i was born during the Summer of Love... which could explain why i'm so messed up
no its not project. I am a X-er. no energy for that.

Xer basically was the first time a generation that was literally carve out from time and under observed, of course it’s started as a consumer market research program. but it reflects the social behavior and/or perspective on social and global issued.
Some of the things that born out from Xer --- Hip Hop music, Gap fashion, Starbuck, music Video. Dot.com......... And last but not the least bursting the Economies. (Although I think baby boom set the ground work Xer get the blames)
Some of our behavior predicated upon the preceding generation. I find club 30 fall in between was just wondering whats the make up of the narrow band.
As to what it means to me in this forum. Well it basically give me an idea of what social group am I communicating with.
Going by what you posted, I definately do not fall under Gen X :P
Although I always thought I was under Gen X
i hardly think we fall into a single social group here... we have ppl who are in their teens, studying, NSF, working, single, married, divorced, parents.... bind by the common love for food (at least most of us)...
i dun see a need to think so much and cheem... gen x, y, z so wat? just be urself and hang ard... cos the way u put it implies to me u see human talk human language type...
pardon me if i'm too straightforward....
Errr.......do we have to pick up sign and body languages from the forum now......like do I have to instead of typing words I need to go;
*grunt* ' urgh arh urgh arh arh *grunt*
*Scratches underarms and then grab crotch* *Gravitate crotch to watcher*
*Grunt* Oooh yeee yeee horr hee hee *grunt*

terms of X and Y use in
Algebra
since when X are post-war baby boomers?

Xer is not a post war baby boomer. Iike i say it is a very Narrow band of generation carve out for observation.
Is not exclusive...but have been targeted for market research to chart behavior pattern with a definitive variable as control paremeter.

no lah is not to ask you to put a sign up. "hey I'm here" the spot mark "X"
but to actually examine what shape your view and how it shape your outlook in life.
And how you look at others. Xer sort of give you a baseline to start.

You might not be a Gen Xer, but it sure seems you're trying to make an X-rated movie there...
