Gen X is left out of the conversation, and doesn't care.
I work and socialize with many Gen Xers and they are very near and dear to my heart, so please know that I say this with all the love in the world. Gen X is left out of the conversation because they're irrelevant to it. They want so badly what their boomer parents had that they may as well just be boomers. If we're talking comedy, music, culture, Gen X has made some brilliant contributions, but when the topic is Millennials getting dragged, Gen X doesn't get mentioned because there's no meaningful generational distinction between them and the Boomers. They've blended in with the very system we are critiquing. And if they're not mentioned there will literally always be a comment like this. Trust me, no one has forgotten you, Gen X. But despite all your rage you are still just a rat in a cage.
