I was born in 1980, so I claim Gen. X. I mean, it was January. At best I'm a cusp, I guess. (Same with my astrological sign, not that I believe in that claptrap!)

it can either be seen as a cusp between Generation X (1961-1981) and the Millennial Generation (1982-2001)...
The last generation to appreciate its significance in a changing culture, specifically the shift from the hardwired, analogue technologies to the wireless, Digital Revolution; the last generation to grow up with such semi-obsolete items of the pre-digital era as VHS tapes, audio cassettes and vinyl records...
The fall of the Berlin Wall November 9, 1989 and German reunification on October 3, 1990. - One of the two major moments to define the MTV Generation, The end of the Cold War and break up of the Soviet Union, The First Gulf War, The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989
Several sociologists have postulated the existence of a small generational subset falling at the start of Generation Y, at the point at which Yers are not yet distinguished from Generation Xers.
This generation was the very last to obtain cognizance or self-awareness before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the end of the Cold War in 1991.
They were also the last to have an idea of a pre-informational society, as the Internet, cable and other technologies caused a complete saturation of media between about 1988 and 1995.
They were the final generation to be able to compare and contrast the late Cold War/Space Age society with the Post-Cold War/Information Age society using their own personal experiences and memories.
In many areas, Cold Y seems to embrace the more cynical world view exhibited by X while rejecting some of what they view as crassness or immoderation

So there.
