    Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.

      Same here, but it also depends per country since well average life spans, average age to buy a house, average age to start a family etc all have an impact on when a new generation starts.

      As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I’d say it’s at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.
