What is the generation name for those born between 1965 and 1980?

• A. Gen X
• B. Gen Z
• C. Baby Boomers
• D. Silent Generation

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how we label birth-year groups and match a given range to the common cohort name. A group born between 1965 and 1980 fits Gen X, the generation that comes after the Baby Boomers and before Millennials. This cohort grew up during the shift from analog to digital tech and experienced the social and economic changes of the late 20th century, which helps distinguish them from adjacent generations. Gen Z refers to those born much later, roughly in the late 1990s to early 2010s, while Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation were born earlier, in the mid-1940s to mid-1960s and before the 1940s, respectively.
