I guess being born in 73 makes me a Gen X'er. Man, I feel old now. Oh, and to the kid who said something along the lines of "i'm 16, how is it that i'm in the same generation as a 7 year old", you are obviously very young if you think that a measly 8 or 9 years is a huge age difference as far as generations go. What do you think, generations last 3 years or until you no longer can hang with your fellow generations kids. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. A generation is about 20 years long, so as you can see, generations are meaningless propaganda aimed at selling things to certain age groups, it's not a name given so you can associate yourself with other similarly aged people and reminise over your fallen generation.
