Generational cutoff points are not an exact science, but there is a general consensus on the birth years and ages of each generation. Here are the age generations based on the most commonly agreed upon definitions:
- Lost Generation: 1883-1900
- Greatest Generation: 1901-1927
- Silent Generation: 1928-1945
- Baby Boomers: 1946-1964
- Generation X: 1965-1980
- Xennials: 1975-1985
- Millennials/Gen Y: 1981-1996
- Gen Z/Post-Millennials: 1997-2012
- Generation Alpha: early 2010s-2025
Its worth noting that there may be slight variations in the definitions of a specific "generation," but the above list most generally reflects the standard years ascribed to each.
