Gen X

An abbreviation of "Generation X," a nickname for the generation of people born roughly between 1965 and 1980, between baby boomers and millennials. The name comes from the title of Douglas Coupland's 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture. I know it's hard for you to fathom growing up without the Internet, but that's what we members of Gen X did. If you're from Gen X, I know you can relate to inheriting a car with crank windows, no air conditioning, and no radio—not even a cassette player! Remember the days of cigarette vending machines? It feels like Gen X grew up in a different world sometimes.
