This might be true. But there was definitely a time where people were figuring out the internet and tastes weren't as well defined. Also at 12 I wasn't as jaded, at some point in between I realized I'll never listen to all the music that comes out, even all the music worth listening to.

I bet she felt pretty smart about herself in that moment. A real gotcha.

I agree. Culturally and economically, you're not a boomer if you were born post peak. That's literally the thesis of Coupland's book. Gen X meant standing in the world's shadow. He never meant to name a demographic, he meant to un-name it. Like generic soup.

Boomer = DoB 12/31/1964 and before. period. Like SFB or a few others, I'm solidly in the shoulder area and am not really a boomer or an X. and to be truthful i really don't give a shit.

My employer recently had the whole company take a long supposedly anonymous online survey to gauge company morale and the first question was which generational group we were in. Here’s how they broke it out:
before 1945 Traditionalist
46-64 Boomer
65-80 Gen X
81-95 Millennial
96-03 Gen Z

I think these are the commonly accepted #s.
I think it also has a lot to do with where you grew up if you were born close to one of the cutoff dates.
More urban areas were probably quicker to pick up on the new trends of that generation.
In 1997 my 5th grade class still used Commodore 64s for computer lab, and most students already had farm jobs.
Despite being born in 87, I don't really identify with millenials at all, because that culture wasn't really available to me until I went to college.

Wow! What area of the (dark) continent did you grow up? We had apple IIe in the class in 85, and an amiga 1000(?) computer lab by '87. And this was in bumfuck kootenays (it was real depressed there following the late 70's/early 80's economic crashes. Amazing those 64's lasted so many years!
