What generation am I if I was born in 1975?

If you were born in 1975 you belong to the generation known as Generation X.

Generation X, often dubbed the "latchkey kids," grew up in the shadow of the Cold War and the rise of MTV. They navigated a world of shifting societal values, from the grunge scene to the dawn of the digital age. With a healthy dose of scepticism and a penchant for independence, they balanced the analog an digital worlds, embracing the DIY ethic and alternative culture. Their formative years were marked by economic uncertainty and the fall of the Berlin Wall, shaping them into a resilient and adaptable cohort, forever questioning the status quo and carving their own paths.
