A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE GENERATIONS
1.14

GENERATION X
Born between 1965 and 1980, now in their forties and fifties.
Generation X created the Internet. When they were teenagers,
mobile phones were enormous, and not many people had
computers at home. They had to deal with big changes in
technology. But this generation is adventurous and adaptable –
they are not afraid of change. Now they use wearable 5
technology to stay fit and healthy. Generation X believe in
looking after themselves and staying young.
Generation X grew up with both parents at work during the day.
This is one of the reasons they are independent.
Generation X are very sociable, but also hard-working. Even 10
when they go out until late, they still get up for work.
They’re passionate about music. They invented punk, grunge
and techno. When they were teenagers, they listened to music
on cassette and CD players.

GENERATION Y / MILLENNIALS
Born between 1980 and 2000, now in their twenties and thirties.
Generation Y, or Millennials, are the selfie generation, also known 15
as Generation Me Me Me. Some people say they focus on
themselves too much.
They grew up with technology and they depend on their smartphones.
They download and listen to music on their phones all the time.
Generation Y have FOMO or ‘fear of missing out’. They like to share 20
experiences on social media, and they worry about being popular
and having a good time. Fifty-three percent prefer to spend money
on an experience than a possession.
Lots of Generation Ys went to university, but because of unemployment
they find it hard to get jobs that make them happy. 25

Many of them live at home and depend on their parents. They get
married later than Generation X — the average age for women is
twenty-seven and for men it’s twenty-nine. They would like to be
more independent, but they can’t afford to be.

GENERATION Z
Born between 1995 and now.
Generation Z are good at multi-tasking. They can use several screens at the same 30
time and this is why they’re called Screenagers. They’re fast thinkers, and when
something doesn’t happen quickly, they get impatient.
Generation Z are the ‘we’ generation. They don’t think about themselves too
much. Instead they focus on global problems like terrorism and global warming.
They’re sociable and they enjoy connecting with friends on social media, but they 35
can also feel very lonely. Generation Z love going to gigs or amusement parks.
Eighty percent prefer to spend time with their friends in person than on the phone
or online.
Generation Z believe in getting a good education, but they worry about university
fees. This generation is ambitious and want to start their own businesses. 40

Generation Z don’t care about where you’re from or the colour of your skin.
Music is an essential part of their day.
