Being a young Boomer to old Xer I remember Kennedy quite well. I can vividly remember Oswald being shot on TV and JFK's funeral. I also remember this license plate on cars.
A common definition of the Boom is that it ended around the time of the assassination (1946 to 1964), with Gen X almost by definition not overlapping with JFK's lifetime. But, there is a lot of debate over this. Many "younger Boomers" want to be included with the awesomeness that is Generation X and that's fine.
At the rate we're going now, Generation X might not get a President elected from our ranks (hopes are pinned on Desantis, I suppose), while the "Greatest Generation" (broadly 1901 to 1927 which is several more cohorts than typical, but the Depression and WWII are so pinnacle, I let 'em have it) elected no fewer than SEVEN Presidents of these United States.

What's even weirder is that we'll likely never have a POTUS born in the 1930s or 1950s (though the latter is still possible).

Interesting. Wonder what other generations didn’t get a president.
