You're a baby boomer if...

You were born 1946 thorugh 1964

The Mickey MOsue Club once seemed like something that would be cool to join.

You had friends who swore they were at Woodstock, even if they weren't.

You adored, or hated Elvis way before he got pudgy and wore sequins.

You first noticed Jack Nicholson as a druken Southern lawyer in "Easy Rider."

You remember the jolt, as a child or teen, of learning about a leader's assassination.

Cigarettes ads on TV once seemed normal, except maybe "I'd rather fight than switch."

The first time you heard about Vietnam,you weren't sure what or where it was.

You were good at hula hoops, but nowhere near as good as that other kid.

You knew someone at school eerily like "Leave It To Beaver" wise guy Eddie Haskell.
--------------------------------------------

You're a Gen X'er if...

You were born from 1965-1977

You or your peers were ever called "slackers."

One of your first favorite movies was "Star Wars" or "E.T."

You wore parachute pants.

Grunge was more than dirt to you.

George H.W Bush or Bill Clinton was the first president you voted for or against(if you voted).

Kurt Cobain's suicide was a defining event for you or your friends.

Youv'e used floppy computer discs but consider them "old school."

You cut your musical teeth on Madonna, Duran Duran,and The Cure.

You like the sound "40 is the new 30."
-------------------------------------------

You're a Gen Y'er if...

You're a young adult born roughly 1978 or after

Remote-control TVs,microwaves and telephones with keypads are a given to you.

You vividly remember the World Trade Center attacks, but barely recall the fall of the Berlin Wall.

You consider '80s music to be oldies.

Your Starbucks habit started before you got out of school.

You think it's silly to buy music on CD'S.

You have a cell phone but no land line.

Your school loans and credit-card debt total far more than your first year's salary.

People have called you and your peers spoiled or "entitled"

You are logged onto your computer 24 hours a day and think nothing of it.

You chuckle when you see a "Vote for Pedro" T-shirt.
