As far as I'm concerned... Gen X births end in the 70s. No offense to my friends in their early 30s and younger, but their lives and experiences are not in the same group as those of us born in the 60s and 70s. We grew up playing atari, worked for 3.35 / hour at our first jobs for the most part and could identify with "the breakfast club."
