Though I will say it could be argued that just the name Gen X sounds so badass as it is you didn't even need one lol.

"People born from 1965 to __[insert year** here]__"

Gen X is fine with me. As much as one can, I love being Gen X. We have had a great run and it ain't over yet.

Personally, I think that "Generation X" is about as stupid a name as we could have possibly been given. What does it mean? Since Gen X is a fairly small group (as generations go), and stuck between the much larger groups of Baby Boomers and Millennials, maybe they could call us "Generation Squeezed" or something like that.

Former Congressman Bob Dornan called the group the Xcellent generation. I disagree.

I thought we were also known as the 'latch-key generation'. I know I was. One of the first kids in the neighborhood to not have a stay at home mom..

Hey now, most of us older Millennials, those born in the mid 80s are very much sane. Once you Gen Xers get in power please bring the insane asylums back and we'll help you build them and help round up the younger ones.
