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?

    Asshats who use the term “Boomer” don’t seem to understand that it means people born about 10 years after WWII and use it for anyone older than they are, so MTV term “genX” gets swamped.

      Originally calling everyone old a “Boomer” was a reaction to older people calling everyone who was young “Millennials” even when millennials were now in their late 30’s
