Gen X, Y, Baby Boomers?

When one leaves North America, we are suddenly confronted with the realization that no matter how hard we try, or want to believe, the world does not revolve around us. I was again reminded of this after writing a recent Blog without considering the cultural baggage associated with particular words. I was shocked to learn that some demographic descriptors were not easily comprehensible by Non-Native English Speakers in Canada and the U.S.A. Specifically, words to do with generations like: Baby Boomer's, Generation X, Generation Y.
Simply, Baby Boomers are the generation that is either in their 50's or early 60's;
Generation X'ers are the generation in their early 30's into their late 40's roughly;
and Generation Y's are in their late teens through their late 20's.
Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generation for a more detailed explanation.
The key point to grasp is that each generation has been ascribed a set values and beliefs that give a stereotypical profile of individuals belonging to these groups.
