''Note: These dates are only approximate.''
*[[1901]]-[[1913]]: [[Interbellum Generation]] - grew up during [[World War I]], the [[Roaring Twenties]] and through [[Prohibition]].
*[[1914]]-[[1929]]: The [[G.I. Generation]], the generation of [[veterans]] that fought and won [[World War II]]. Journalist [[Tom Brokaw]] dubbed this the [[Greatest Generation]] in a 1998 book of the same name. <ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2004/jun/06/secondworldwar</ref>
*[[1930]]-[[1941]]: The [[Silent Generation]] was the generation born between the two World Wars, who were too young to join the service when World War II started. Many had fathers who served in [[World War I]].
*[[1942]]-[[1960]]: The [[Baby Boom Generation]] was the generation born just after [[World War II]], a time that included a 14-year increase in birthrate worldwide. Baby Boomers in their [[teenage]] and [[college]] years were characteristically part of the [[1960s]] [[counterculture]], but later became more ideologically divided, although the generation remained widely committed to keystone values such as [[gender equality]], [[racial equality]], and [[environmentalism|environmental stewardship]].<ref name="r5">Strauss, William & Howe, Neil. ''Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069''. Perennial, 1992 (Reprint). ISBN 0-688-11912-3 p. 324</ref>
*[[1954]]-[[1965]]: [[Generation Jones]] was the generation of children in the 1960s, who came of age in the middle to late 1970s and early 1980s. The [[presidential election|election]] of [[Barack Obama]] to the [[U.S. Presidency]] created significantly increased awareness of this generation as many prominent sources referred to Obama as specifically a member of Generation Jones.
*[[1961]]-[[1979]]: [[Generation X]] is the generation connected to the pop culture of the 1980s and 1990s they grew up in.<ref>[http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mgt08044.html Generation X and The Millennials: What You Need to Know About Mentoring the New Generations]</ref> Other names used interchangeably with Generation X are Reagan Generation, 13th Generation, and Baby Busters. Most of this generation are children of The Baby Boomers and The Silent Generation. Those born before 1973 spent most of their teen years in the 1980s.<ref name="r5"/>
*[[1975]]-[[1986]]: The [[MTV Generation]] are typically conceived as a "cusp" generation between Generation X and Generation Y that possess definable traits of both. While the [[music video]] and [[MTV]] rose to prominence during this generation's formative period, it is also notable for being the last generation able to compare [[hardwired]] and [[analog]] technologies to [[wireless]] and [[digital]] technologies based upon personal experiences. They are also the generation with the last personal memories of the Cold War era.
*[[1980]]-[[1994]]: The [[Millennial Generation]], or "Generation Y", is said to be dependent on [[digital technology]]. It is in this generation that mobile phones, PC's and portable entertainment devices became affordable and readily availiable when the Gen Yers were in their teens or early 20s. Millennials are generally a very socially liberal and politically active generation, voting in record numbers in the 2008 presidential election.
*[[1995]]-present: [[Generation Z]] are [[modern]] children, born from somewhere in the second half of the [[1990s]] to the present. In the early to mid [[2010s]], the yet-to-exist generation after this will be born.
