I've always been a little uncertain about who fits into what generation and so here's a quick list:
Traditionalists or Silent Generation - 1945 or earlier
Baby Boomers - 1946 to 1964
Generation X - 1965 to 1976
Millennials (Gen Y) - 1977 to 1995
Centennials (Gen Z or iGen) - 1996 and later
The cutoffs for different generations vary a lot. Sometimes you see the Baby Boom ending in 1960 or 1962, for instance. Also the social circumstances of different individuals changes the generation they identify with, especially for people born near the cutoff years.
