From what I found, Generation X are those born between 1966-1983. Generation Y from 1984-present.

well, which am i???? 
i guess i have 2 votes for me being generation y for now, so i'll go with it.
I was born in June 1984 .. x or y? lol
I agree, however, more with the "1965-1984" age group. I don't see myself as being "y" ...

Weird I never thought I was part of generation X. 
Hell, due to my age and birth year, I would be classified GENERATION X, but you know something, I don't get along with the generation X ppl that well. With my upbringing, I have more of a Baby Boomer state of mind. I am only 31, but I don't listen to the music of "my generation", I am more into disco and classic rock. Let's put it this way, most of Generation X would ask what the hell I was listening too, and if they DID know the song, it's because it' been used by Puff Daddy, excuse me, P. Diddy, or it was in Coyote Ugly or some other movie, and it's more of a joke song to them. I was also taught to have more respect for ppl than what I have seen from generation X. I don't dress like them either.
I guess being raised by my military father and my grandparents in my formative years has made me like more of the things THEY like. I love big band and swing music. If I listen to country music, it's late 70s country. I am a jeans and tshirt kind of gal. I know how to work on cars a bit, and I can shoot a gun real nice.
Most gals my age can't even change their tires, let alone give a car a tune up. They like thongs, I refuse to wear something that hangs in my butt crack. Anyway, I see myself in the older generation. I am a child of the 80s as well, but I don't consider myself generation X at all.
Explains a lot.

I haven't read the hole thread yet but I will later
but here is something else to add on.
my sociology teacher said that generations are name are seperated by usally a large event
like the space shuttle explotion in the early 80's.
so it is also thought that 9-11 might have been the end of a generation, and a beging of a new one.

If you think Beck is "woefully untalented", you must be old.

OK, maybe I went a little too far, but listen to Jeff Beck, just for comparison.

Yes, but later solo stuff is better. Like "Who Else," which was nominated for a Grammy in 1999. He has a newer cd, "You Had It Coming," which I haven't heard yet. But I admit it really doesn't answer the Gen-X/Gen-Y question.

just cause they have the same name means you have to compare the two of them? they couldnt be in more different genres! (well, i suppose they could, but im going to use that figure of speech anyway, dammit)
can you tell i really like beck? a lot?
now officially a troll, i guess. used to have a black 96 SE, until it broke down one too many times.
now I'm hunting for a motorycle.

Fair enough, but I've always been a little suspicious that Beck Hansen decided to go by "Beck" to trade a bit on Jeff Beck's reputation. Not as bad, it is true, as Declan MacManus using the name "Elvis Costello" to trade off the Vegas Lounge Lizard, but there you are....

well, his birth name is Bek Hansen, but his first grade teacher taught him to spell it Beck, so thats the way its been ever since. also, they play very different styles so it would be difficult to get the two mixed up.
no harm no foul though, we're all a little defensive towards our favorite music groups.
