Although a few months old I find that this article has hit the nail on the head when it comes to re-defining the popular generational names. I was born in 1960 and although fitting into the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation can’t really say I feel like those boomers who are already retired or about to do so. Even my twitter name … Ima60sBoomer represents this! I am so glad someone has articulated this ‘feeling’.

Marian Salzman who has been credited with coining the term “metrosexuality,” has now invented a new sub-generation: “Cuspers” — basically people too young to be baby-boomers, and too old to be gen-Xers. The Boomers are no longer in charge…………the mantle has now passed to the so-called ‘cuspers’ with the US President Obama represents them, leading the way ahead.

The Baby Boomers are being blamed for the woes in the world at the moment. The selfish generation, the generation that pursued pleasure, proclaimed “I can have it all” and refused to grow old — “50 is the new 30,” etc.

And from under that mantle the ‘cuspers’ now have even more reasons to stake out their own separate identity and values.

Its a great read ….. for the whole article click here.
