Millenials, those born between '78 and '95
That's shifted a good five or ten years back from what I thought. I was born in '82; my parents are Boomers. I thought that made me Generation X.
I. . . I don't want to be a Millenial.

I was born in 1980, but I had 2 older brothers and I was heavily involved in their social circles. MacGyver and the A-Team were the stuff of my generation. I always felt like my younger sisters were weird; Power Rangers was a show of their generation. I would consider myself at the tail end of Gen X.
My wife was born in 1982, watched Power Rangers, and doesn't remember the fall of the Soviet Union... but also grew up using UNIX, remembers Vinyl, owned a Walkman as a teen, and feels most socially comfortable with people in the 35-50 age bracket (who often assume she's in her late 30s.) I'd say she's more Gen X than Millennial.
Another close friend of mine was born in 1981, and I'd consider him 100% Millennial.
We had AIM in high school, Facebook in (some of) college, and MTV had already mostly stopped playing music videos when we became aware of it.
Sorry dude, you're very much a Millenial.
No? You're not generation X, sorry.
