  Generation X information - Search.com
In Coupland's usage, the "X" of Generation X referred to the namelessness of a generation that was coming into an awareness of its existence as a separate group while at the same time feeling completely dwarfed and culturally overshadowed by the Baby Boomer generation of which it was ostensibly a part.
Generation X has also been described as a generation consisting of those people whose teen years were touched by the 1980s, although many who are considered part of this generation had their teenage years stretching into the 1990s.
Generation X has survived a hurried childhood of divorce, latchkeys, space shuttle explosions, open classrooms, widespread public knowledge of political corruption, inflation and recession, post-Vietnam national malaise, environmental disaster, the Islamic Revolution (in Iran), devil-child movies, and a shift from "G" to "R" ratings (which had little effect outside the United States).

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Greatest Generation
The Greatest Generation is a term sometimes used to denote the younger half of what is often referred to as the G.I. Generation.
The term is derived from the title of a best-selling book by Tom Brokaw and is generally assumed to mean those born in the United States from about 1911 through 1924, with an alternate label, that of the Interbellum Generation, sometimes applied to persons born from 1901 through 1910.
In contrast to the Interbellum Generation, whose children were predominantly members of the Silent Generation, the Greatest Generation went on to give birth to the majority of the Baby Boomers, who then challenged their authority during the turbulent 1960s and early 1970s, especially over the issue of the Vietnam War.

The data on which this research is based come from the examination of the trends in the cultural life in interbellum Romania as revealed in the periodical press, higher education courses, academic studies, and the dynamics of translations from English literature.

The casualty situation got so bad by the late fall of 1916 that Hughes was dismissed, and a new generation of Canadian officers (all political appointees but survivors of the savage Darwinian selection at the front) began to lead, and promote their junior officers out of the ranks.
Unfortunately, General Arthur Currie's wartime success (he was ultimate WW1 commander of the Canadian Corps) was soon diminished by (1) the inter-bellum return to partisan political manipulation of the militia, (2) the deep enmity to Currie from Sam Hughes' dethroned cronies, and (3) the Depression.
