Welcome to gen Y, you ****ing iPod wearing emo *****.

What generation comes after gen y, and when does gen Y end?

do you see yourself in this description?

The term was first used in a 1964 study of British youth by Jane Deverson. Deverson was asked by the editor of the magazine Woman's Own to conduct a series of interviews with teenagers of the time. The study revealed a generation of teenagers who "sleep together before they are married, don't believe in God, dislike the Queen, and don't respect parents," which was deemed unsuitable for the magazine because it was a new phenomenon. Deverson, in an attempt to save her research, worked with Hollywood correspondent Charles Hamblett to create a book about the study. Hamblett decided to name it Generation X.[2]

I'd say it extends to 1983, maybe 1984. My wife was born in 1981, and I was born in 1982. There's a definite gap between the two of us and our closest siblings, who were born in 1986 (my brother) and 1987 (her brother).

Meh, I was born right at the beginning of 1976 and can feel the gap between people my age and those two or three years younger.

And it never would have started unless the CCX had proved the model could work

The real point is that companies are addressing Global Warming. And to claim that the US isn't doing anything about it because our crappy government wouldn't sign a worthless treaty is simply funny. Results are what really matters here. And the CCX and other such exchanges are providing real results.

apparently Obama is more or less generation X

(from wikipedia)

Barak Obama, Politician (born August 4, 1961)

if he's elected THEN you will really see generation X in action

Baby Boomers are generally considered to have been born upto 1963.

That puts Barak clearly in the baby boomer generation.

arian, you responded to a quote of mine, what am i supposed to think?

[Arrian]

There was a reason for the line break in my post. My post only makes sense if you read the second part as a response to Sloww. I thought you might be able to figure it out, but alas, no.
