Page "Generation X" Paragraph 7

Generation X experienced the introduction of the personal computer, the start of the video game era, cable television and the Internet.

Other events include the AIDS epidemic, the War on Drugs, the Iran hostage crisis, the Persian Gulf War, the Dot-com bubble, grunge, alternative rock and hip hop.

They are often called the MTV Generation.

Pertinent to a non-partisan study on the 2008 U. S. Presidential election, the Population Reference Bureau, a demographic research organization based in Washington, D. C., cited Generation X birth years as falling between 1965-1982.
