C.Syde's Guide to Zodiac Signs, and Personal opinions on Birth Generations

There are several debates as to which birth years are part of which generation, blah, blah, blah, blah. But here is my belief on what years are part of what generation groups.


 * Generation X - 1968-1981
 * Generation Y - 1982-1995
 * Generation Z - 1996-2009
 * Generation Alpha - 2010-2023

According to an old revision on the Millennials page on the wikipedia, there is much debate over the dates of Generation Y - that is, when "Gen Y" began, and the "cut-off" period. It is generally accepted, however, that "Gen Y" applies to those born in, between the dates of 1982 and June 1995, inclusively (in order to accompany the cut-off period for early enrollments in schools). Although debatable, as some consider the "end" of Gen Y births to be in 1994, and others believe Y refers to all people born in 1995.

Personally I'd say that Generation Y refers to all people born in 1995, 1) because it's consistent - having 15 years per generation, 2) As it's largely speculated, I can literally choose which generation I feel part of, and that generation is Generation Y.
