Public Sticky notes

One of the defining factors of Generation X is the transitions resulting from the decline of colonial imperialism to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War[citation needed]. Another more prevalent factor is a bell curve bottoming out in American births from 1965 through 1975[1], after the American baby boom from 1946 to 1964. A small, often "invisible generation" in the wake of the socially-reconstructing baby boomers, those born in the U.S. between 1964 (often 1961: see Coupland and Strauss and Howe, below) and 1980 (sometimes 1981) received the "X" tag for lack of a defining social identity
