What are some differences between "Generation X," "Generation Y," and the "Millennial Generation"?
The difference of curse is the year of birth and the values and cultural concepts each generation represents. But with time there are more and more sociologist who just wish to get their peer recognition – for that reason they invent new generation’s all the time.
Basically generation X is a person (in the west!) who was 20+ around the 90’s; in a similar fashion generation Y is a person who was 20+ after the millennium.
It is just a rhetorical tool in the hands of publication hungry authors and scholars – for it is hard to close a generation in a frame.
Gen X are generally considered to have been born somewhere between 1961 and 1980, Gen Y runs from around the mid 1970s up to about the 1990s. The sociologists will continue to debate the dates and supposed character traits of these generations for many decades to come.
