Gen X is 1965 to 1981; if you just missed the mark for Gen Z, you're possibly a millennial, aka Gen Y (1982 - 1996).

As someone from 1996 I feel split :[

Yep! I'm dumb, thanks for the correction, I'm feeling a bit less old now :)

Hey, it's all good, welcome to Team Millennial. Here's your complimentary 'I Am Older Than The Internet' T-shirt, and your back pain medication.

So I am Gen X born 1980. And who decided this?

That's an interesting question and I wasn't sure, but I was curious enough to go look it up.

According to this source, which I can't verify the credibility of but which seems in line with what other sources say on the topic:

No official commission or group decides what each generation is called and when it starts and ends. Instead, different names and birth year cutoffs are proposed, and through a somewhat haphazard process a consensus slowly develops in the media and popular parlance.

TL;DR "It's all made up and none of it matters!"
