The thing is, too, these are very subjective things, mostly made up by the media. I don't think there's anything definitively that lists the generation-culture names and periods.
It also depends a lot on your perspective. If you went to college in the 70s but clung to values of the 60s, you no doubt think of yourself as a boomer. On other hand, if you went to college in the 70s but had other values and experiences, you would tend not to think of yourself as a boomer. For myself, I'm not sure "me" or "disco" fits, either. I might be tempted to adopt the term "Blank Generation" for myself and the cultural experiences I shared with my peers.
