It's more a Gen X thing, actually. Gen Y wouldn't remember Mt. St. Helens or the Challenger disaster
It's all pretty ill-defined. I mean Copeland's original definition (the lost generation between the baby-boomers and their kids, born 1959-65 or thereabouts) has me being "Generation X". And then the media kept revising it forward so that it was always the current generation of twenty-somethings.

It still annoys me that, as a result, there's no easy terminology for People Who Grew Up in the 70s.
