Generations are usually continuous, but the boomers were less so because they were largely the result of a discrete event: the end the war. Because they were all born at a similar time and there were a large number of them they had a lot more power as a generation than most generations (hence the unrest of the 60s).

- jgervin 17y agoGenerations are defined not by a strict date, but by the events, technology, the things of the time. As an example, someone who grew up on Atari is probably dramatically different than someone 10 years before them. My sister was 16 when the Atari came out and I was 7. She skipped it as she was interested in boys. She doesn't get or understand technology or why we have a gaming industry. Thus, she is just out of Generation X and a totally different view on life.
