Isn't "Generation X" named after a book. I think I've read it. It was crap.

You read the 1965 original sociology textbook? Or the 1991 book by Douglas Coupland?

Generation Y here by a couple of years for what it matters. Although having just skimmed through the Wikipedia article on the generational terms it seems that Millenials may also refer to Generation Y just to complicate matters?

Generation X sounds so much cooler than Y though

This one. I was unaware of the sociology book. I won't be reading it although I suspect it'll be better than Couplands offering.

Generation X of course it's the cool one.
