The Generations
Commonly used ranges: Silent ≤1945, Baby Boomers 1946-1964, Gen X 1965-1980, Millennials (Y) 1981-1996, Gen Z 1997-2012, Gen Alpha 2013+. Boundaries are conventions (Pew Research's are the most cited), not laws — people born near a cutoff often relate to both sides.
Frequently Asked Questions
I was born in 1996 — Millennial or Gen Z?
By the Pew convention 1996 is the last Millennial year and 1997 starts Gen Z. Cusp cohorts (1993-1998) are often nicknamed "Zillennials".
Who decides these ranges?
No official body — researchers and demographers converge on ranges tied to shared events and technology; Pew Research's definitions are the de facto standard.
