For Xer Anderson Cooper. 


Any other examples come to mind?

Van Jones seems to have escaped the cynicism of the X Generation. I'm sure there's others too, like Kirsten Gillibrand. But they may be typical nomads in other ways.

Perhaps David Bowie was a prophet who was like an Xer ahead of his time.

I am assuming that the Generation 68' (European Boomers) had their first cohort in 1947. David Bowie born in the first cohort of this generation.

The latest and most used year for the starting date of Baby Boomers is 1946 because that was the start of the rise in the birth rates after WWII.

I have seen dates as early as 1937 being used because it is the first year after birth rates hit its lowest point in 1936. Probably an unrelated reason, but 1937 borns were also the first to start elementary school after Pearl Harbor.
