  And the album was released in 1995, so lots of gen x would be in their late teens early twenties when it was released, prime audience for it.

  Woah. I always thought I was Gen X but TIL I’m probably a millennial.

    If you’re near the cusp, pick whichever makes you feel better. Generations are a sociological construct and are appropriately applied in the aggregate, not to individuals and they’re always fuzzy around the edges. Much like Hari Seldon can’t predict specific individual events, sociological generations don’t always apply exactly the same to individual people.

    If you’re born anywhere between around 1978 and 1984, you will likely find at least one sociologist who draws the line on either side of you.

    I tend to go with Strauss-Howe, who consider GenX to be 1961-1981 and Millennials to be 1982-2005 – mostly because I like their idea of turnings and cyclical archetypes.
