Generation X and Y

Sometimes when I come across a word "Generation X" or "Generation Y" printed on newspapers, I have no clue about what it means. I thought that it is just a fancy phrase coined by the journalists to identify the youth generation.

Well, I realised the truth that these words actually have the meanings.

Plagiarised from Wikipedia:
Generation X is a term for a cohort of people born following the peak of the post-World War II baby boom, especially in Canada and the United States.

Generation Y is the cohort of people born immediately after "Generation X".

Period of Generations
Generation X - 1961 to 1981
Generation Y- 1977 to 2003

Ooohh.... I am a Gen X.
