Gen X is the term used to describe those born in the very late 60's to the late 70's (children of the Baby Boomers). Gen Y'ers would be born after that.
And it's not a term used to describe the sporting events that "we" play. It was coined because they couldn't think of something clever (yes, literally) to call the generation spawned from the Baby Boomers.
Oh, and it's used to describe people born in that time period all over the world, not just Americans.

We don't have culture, we have cultures. Hehe. Seriously, it is hard to define one American culture, just because the USA is so large. It would be like trying to define Europe with one culture. Can't do it.

Actually according to most people (and wikipedia), the generations cross-over slightly, as its not just the year you were born, but also what defined/influenced your personality while growing up. This could mean geographical or class differences, amongst other things.
Generation X : 1961-1981
Generation Y : 1977-2003
MTV Generation : 1975-1985
Boomerang Generation : 1981-1986
Internet Generation : 1986-1999
New Silent Generation : 2001-
if history proves itself right again.. the next generation will most likely be "The New Baby-Boomers"
Really I didn't know I was generation X lol. I always associate them with skateboards for some reason 
i still skateboard, and im 23....i love it.....i hate stereotypes that go with skateboarding

I'm a 24 year old male American and I have no idea (and couldn't care less) of what Generation X, Y or Z means.

And most people are like you; they really couldn't care less. These labels are to help marketers figure out what you, as a WHOLE, would be more interested in and less interested in buying.
