Looks like they don't use a set number of years so I guess they must use some sort of social happenings, like the end of WW II or JFK shot, for the breaks.

I agree they (whoever "they" are), are coming up with sucky names.
This bunch isn't any better than the ones you linked

The Population Reference Bureau provides an alternate listing and chronology of generational names in the United States.

2000/2001-Present - New Silent Generation or Generation Z
1983-2001 - New Boomers
1965-1982 - Generation X
1946-1964 - Baby Boomers
1929-1945 - Lucky Few
1909-1928 - Good Warriors
1890-1908 - Hard Timers
1871-1889 - New Worlders
Are these generation names for the US? For North America? For English speaking countries? First world nations? Everybody?
