consider that Douglas COupland named HIS generation "Gen X" in his novel Generation X.
It's about him and his peers.
He was born in 1961.

--flash forward --

media now claims Gen X starts in 1965
even though Coupland said 1960

Zoomers, too: Gen Z starts in 1995, or 1996, or 1997, they say.
But Zoomers born before 2003 are very different than the rest of the younger Zoomers ---- and identical to Millennials (I work with them all, trust me)

the actual generational divide is around computers and their prevalence in the learning environment
boomers - no computers
gen X - computer lab in school
millennial - shared computer in classroom
gen Z - personal computer issued
