The answer is C: Canadian author Douglas Coupland couned the name Generation X to describe those who were born between 1061 and 1082. Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. Most demographers and commentators use birth dates ranging from the early 1960s to the early 1980s. Gen Xers are often called the MTV Generation.They experienced the emergence of music videos, new wave music, electronic music, heavy metal, punk rock, and alternative rock, and hiphop. Compared with previous generations, it represents a more heterogeneous generation, embracing social diversity in terms of such characteristics as race, class, religion, ethnicity, culture, language, gender identity, and sexual orientation.Unlike their parents who challenged leaders with an intent to replace them, Gen Xers are less likely to idolize leaders and are more inclined to work toward long-term institutional and systematic change through economic, media and consumer actions
