Gen X (Generation X)

Generation X, often abbreviated as Gen X, is a demographic cohort that follows the Baby Boomers and precedes the Millennials. While there isn't a precise consensus on the birth years that define Generation X, it typically includes individuals born roughly between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s.

Members of Generation X came of age during a period of significant social, economic, and technological change, including the rise of personal computing, the internet, and globalization. They are often characterized as independent, pragmatic, and resourceful, having grown up during times of economic uncertainty, changing family structures, and rapid advancements in technology.

Some key cultural touchstones associated with Generation X include the rise of alternative music, the popularity of grunge and hip-hop, the emergence of video games and home computers, and the influence of movies and television shows that reflected their experiences and worldview.
