Today. But in 2049, won't the 43-year-old and the 63-year-old view themselves as members of the same generation? Deciding what generation a kid is when e is 13 is way too early. Generation is about your experiences, and a 13-year-old has few.
If generation is about experiences then the idea of generation is flawed because logically someone born in 1965 would have more in common with someone born in 1964 than with someone born in 1985 despite being separate generations by this definition used.
