About Our Service

• An interactive birth year calculator
• Descriptive profiles of recognised generational cohorts (Silent Generation through Generation Alpha)
• A year-by-year reference chart covering birth years 1928–2026
• Information on generational cusps and micro-generations
• Frequently asked questions about generational categories

• Use automated scripts, bots, scrapers, or similar tools to access, index, or download content from the Site in bulk

Intellectual Property

All content on this Site — including but not limited to text, design, code, graphics, the generation calculator tool, and generational descriptions — is the property of WhatGenerationAmI.net or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

You may share links to the Site and quote brief passages for commentary, criticism, or educational purposes, provided appropriate attribution is given. You may not reproduce substantial portions of the Site's content without prior written consent.

The names of generational cohorts (e.g., Baby Boomers, Millennials, Gen Z) are widely-used social and demographic terms and are not claimed as trademarks by us.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, WhatGenerationAmI.net disclaims all warranties, including:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement
• Warranties that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components

Your use of the Site is entirely at your own risk.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, WhatGenerationAmI.net, its owners, operators, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content.

This includes, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages; in such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Content Accuracy

The generational date ranges and descriptions on this Site are based on widely cited sources including Pew Research Center, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the Strauss–Howe generational theory framework. However:

• Generational boundaries are not universally standardised — exact start and end years may vary by source, researcher, or cultural context
• Generational descriptions are broad sociological characterisations and do not apply uniformly to every individual born within a given range
• The Site is intended for general informational and educational purposes, not academic research or demographic analysis

We strive to keep content accurate and up to date but make no guarantees as to the currency or completeness of the information provided. We may update, modify, or remove content at any time without prior notice.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites for reference or convenience. These links are provided solely as a convenience and do not constitute our endorsement of, or affiliation with, those sites or their content.

We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites and accept no responsibility or liability for them. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Site does not require you to create an account or submit personal information to use the generation calculator.

We may use standard analytics tools to understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g., page visits, browser types). No birth year data entered into the calculator is stored on our servers — all calculations are performed locally in your browser.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.

Your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the United States.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
