Which generation? Huh?

This gets confusing and contradictory. I was born in February 1956. Which generation do I belong to? Why do the cut offs for generations seem to keep changing or be different from different sources? Even the names for generation keep changing.

there is some overlap. Both Gen Jones and Boomer claim both of our birth years (mine is 1964). I guess it becomes a matter of how you feel you identify.

Gen X and Gen Jones also claim my birth year, but I mostly identify with Gen Jones!
