All I hear about is “boomers” this, “Millennials” that, “Gen Z” that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

    Gen X is essentially just “boomer lite.” So might as well lump them into boomers. That’s been my experience working with many many gen x’ers over the years. They’re similar in my opinion.

      Oh, so they’re like Gen Z’s (like me), who are “Millennial-lite.”

      There is a Segway between boomer and Gen X but every generation has an overlap. I’m a Gen X. It is a small generation that lived through the creation of the internet society. We were also responsible for 90s independent music labels and the production of the greatest music since the 60s (you are welcome btw). Boomers are post war nationalists that stopped learning anything new after their 18th birthday.
