generation x

"Generation X" refers to the cohort of people born between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, generally considered to be the generation following the Baby Boomers (born after World War II). It is often characterized as a generation that grew up during a time of rapid technological advancements, economic changes, and societal shifts. Generation X is known for being independent, resourceful, and adaptable, often referred to as the "Latchkey Generation" due to the high number of children who grew up in dual-income or single-parent households, resulting in self-reliance and a sense of resilience.
