That would be Y gen, I think. If the Boomers--a pseudo-"generation-"-were 
born 1945/46-64 (i.e. literally a demographic boom/bulge in births 
following WWII), X is their youngest sibs and their own youngest kids, 
roughly 1965-1990, and Y would be born 1991-2015 (taking those to be a true 
generation of 25 years).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X sez maybe those born 1961-81.

I find some interesting babbling:
