    The short answer is “no.” The long answer is:

    The boomers were defined by a demographic shift and the millennials (gen y, because Y comes after X and also because “y2k” ) were defined by being young-ish around New year’s day 2000. Meanwhile X, z, α, and allegedly now “β” are just arbitrary postmarks who’s locations are malleable and variable by the person you’re talking to.

    This is one of those cultural things that I tend to get grump and annoyed about because it’s stupid and people pretend that it’s real.
