I have heard both. Years ago when Douglas Coupland's book came out he marked it at 1961 because generations are generally assumed to run in twenty year increments roughly. But I have seen 1965 used as a starting year as well.
Well if the Boomers were born starting in 1945, then boomers are 45-65 and X is 65-85. Obviously there is a blending towards the last 5 years. Kids born in 81-85 didn't have the same experience as I did being born in 71 and cognizant during the Reagan years.
What are my kids born after 2005?

I've always thought the generations ran more in 18 year sets (ie, when the oldest of that generation came of age at 18, a new generation could conceivably be borne of them.) Google agrees- says boomers are 1946-1964. This means X is 1965-1983.
There's always commonalities from the beginning of one generation with the ending of another though.
