The List Of Generations

Maybe it is me, but there seems to be many different groupings and names for the different generations in our society today. I was reading an article about a recent Harris Poll that used this generation grouping:

Matures (those ages 62 and over)
Baby Boomers (those ages 43 to 61)
Gen Xers (ages 31 to 42)
Echo Boomers (ages 18 to 30)

I am not familiar with “Echo Boomers” terminology - I always thought that generation was referred to as Generation Y. “Matures” is a new one for me too. Wouldn’t it be nice if somehow we could get some ANSI-like standard on what the generational names are?
