Man, my dark older brothers that I never had. I love those crazy bastards, but they really got the shit end of the stick, and there just isn't that many of them compared to the generations that sandwich them.

I feel like Gen X is a lost generation. We never had the opportunity to take the reigns from the Boomers, they just clung to everything and told us if we say tight and did what we were told we'd be ok.

For older Gen X that worked out but younger Gen X not so much.

The younger generations are just fed up at this point and preparing to cease power before the impotent Gen X can.

Mix of two things, I think. Gen X is a smaller demographic, and often overlooked/forgotten, and I've observed an apparent tendency to apply "boomer" to include what is actually Gen X, when in fact the Baby Boomers are often parents to Gen Xers.

Time dilation, recency bias, and all that. Anything that happened before you were born is all history, right?
