generation x
a.k.a. gen x -or- GenX
(pronounced: jenn-X)
The generation of Americans born to the baby boomers, this includes people born between 1963 and 1979. It's a popular marketing notion to segment an audience into a particular demographic, and "GenXers" are known for making the transition between the old way of doing things and the new way. With a focus on a better balance between work and personal life, GenX demands in the workplace have resulted in more part-time jobs, telecommuting, self-employment, flex time, significant-other insurance coverage, and a variety of alternative work arrangements.
