I don't know, I'm an X, we don't really exist anywhere, we are transparent and ignored in societies.
Hey man, I notice and appreciate you.
My parents are (early) Gen X. In general I don't think you are transparent or ignored. I'm not saying this isn't your case though.
I appreciate my parents and even though they are "outdated" on some stuff, I value them immensely. For instance, if it wasn't for my dad I likely would never have gotten into omputers. And that would've led me not have my current job (probably). I owe everything to them.
In fact, in my country at least (not US), I'm pretty sure Boomers + Gen X make up the majority of the voting power due to declining birth/death rates. (These stats are 100% pulled out of my ass, so they can very well be wrong.)
So, if anything you're the ones who hold more power (again, in my country at least).
What I'm trying to say is, things aren't as black and white as this stupid memes make them seem. We're all collectively messed up somehow. :)
