You are a Baby Boomer. The Baby Boomer generation covers birth years from 1946 to 1964, the result of a surge in births after World War II.
Yes. Millennials are also called Generation Y, covering birth years from 1981 to 1996. The name “Millennials” comes from this generation coming of age around the turn of the millennium.
The commonly used ranges are: Greatest Generation (1901–1927), Silent Generation (1928–1945), Baby Boomers (1946–1964), Generation X (1965–1980), Millennials (1981–1996), Generation Z (1997–2012), and Generation Alpha (2013–2024), and Generation Beta (2025–2039).
There is no official body that defines generation boundaries. Different researchers and countries use slightly different ranges. The ranges used here follow the Pew Research Center definitions, which are the most widely cited.
Generation Beta covers birth years from 2025 to approximately 2039. Named by demographer Mark McCrindle, it continues the Greek alphabet sequence after Alpha. Gen Beta will grow up in a world where AI, autonomous systems, and smart environments are the norm.
