| • | Generation X describes the generation following the post-World War II baby boom, especially Americans and Canadians born in the 1960s and 1970s, although the exact dates of birth defining this age demographic are highly debated. The term is used in demographics, the social sciences, marketing, and more broadly in popular culture.
Although the origins of the term "Generation X" go back at least as far as the early 1960s, it was popularized by Douglas Coupland's 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture.
The term is popularly associated with the people born between, roughly, 1961 and 1981, although this is disputed. Generation X has also been described as a generation consisting of those people whose "teen years were touched by the 1980s", as such, many people that are considered part of the generation had their teenage years stretching into the 1990s.
Another common description of Generation X includes within it those people who grew up in a period of transition (1945–1990) beginning with the end of World War II and the decline of colonial imperialism and ending with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. Thus, the transition between colonialism and globalization is thought to separate the Baby Boomers from the Baby Busters, a sub-generation of Generation X made up of the earliest born members. There are some older Generation Xers who frown upon the classification of those born in 1980 or 1981 as being part of Generation X; these individuals often prefer to classify Generation X as those born between 1964 and the mid to late 70's.
