Generation C, X, Y, Z & Boomers definitions

This video is 4minutes 30 seconds long.

There is a lot of confusion over the the differences between all the different generations and how Generation C fits with that.

To start defining them, I look at the demographic/age based generations briefly, Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y and Generation Z.

Unlike Generation C, which is a psychographic generation that is ageless, the following generations are typically defined in generational studies based on common experiences in their late teens/early twenties.

A quick and useful way to check what demographic generation someone belongs to is to ask them what their formative music format was :)

Boomers Vinyl was their format 33s and 45s; Gen X - Tapes were dominant format; Gen Y - CDs for older Gen Y; Gen Y - mp3s/itunes for younger Gen Y; Gen C - like digital online formats and enjoy sharing and comparing for example to www.lastfm.com

Generation C is the global, ageless Digital Generation no accident then they love Twitter :)

haha this guy is trying to fit in so he classifies himself as Gen C. Your old dude and u look like the silent generation so stick w that.... anybody younger then u will have a faster grasping power of knowledge then u will and that's how it is being a human......not saying us the young ppl now will also get old but we are the current gen and your silent..........1

I thought I was Gen X cuz I was born in 1980 but I bought only CDs so I guess I'm Gen Y?

@MegaBrooke98 I think we are generation y or z because we were born the time technology improved I guess.

I think you are wrong about gen z. I was born in 96 and grew up in the post-9/11 world. I don't remember that event nor do I remember a world without high-speed internet, Google, or MP3s. I do purchase a-lot of CD but only because I went back and found an appreciation for sound quality. I have older friends who grew up in gen-y and I do not relate to them. I think gen-z should be 95-2002.
