According to a survey conducted in 2021, people of all ages in the United Kingdom had varying opinion on what generation they belonged to. For people born between 1946 and 1964, the most-common generation people felt they belonged to was the Baby Boomer generation, followed by Generation X for those born from 1965 to 1980. Those born between 1981 and 1996 generally identified as Millennials, but Britons born from 1996 to 2003 mainly said they were Generation Z.
