Generation Z refers to those born in 2001 and beyond.
Generation Y refers to those born between 1982 and 2000. Generation Y is also known as the "Millennials"
Generation X were born between 1961 and 1981.
Those born between 1951 and 1961 are the Baby Boomers.
A generation isn't a single decade ... it's about two decades (long enough for that generation to start having kids).

Generation differentiation has to do with technology differences. For instances, the main difference between generation X and Y, at least to my knowledge is the marketing and the advent of mobile text messaging which the Generation Y is accustomed to. For instance, those born in Generation Y were more likely to have mobile phones by the age of 18, whereas generation X was less likely to have one in their teenage years.

What would you call the 00's generation? Also, what would you call the 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's and 40's?
I went to high school in the 80's, so I might be called a GenX. What would the other Gen's be?
ADDITION: What do you think the 2010's, 2020's and 2030's will be?
