Generation X is described as born between which years?

• A. 1940s to 1950s
• B. 1960s to 1970s
• C. 1980s to 1990s
• D. 1950s to 1960s

Answer: (B)

Generation X is the cohort born after the Baby Boom and before Millennials. In most sources, this group spans roughly the mid-1960s through the late 1970s or early 1980s. Among common classroom definitions, the 1960s to the 1970s best fits this middle era, placing Gen X between Baby Boomers (earlier) and Millennials (later). Some outlines extend into the early 1980s, but the 1960s–1970s range captures the central birth years most often used in teaching about this generation.
