I find it weird how so much generation discussion seems to skip gen x. I see references to boomer, millennial, and zoomer/gen z way way more often than gen x.

Gen X’s arc was going from Reality Bites/Wayne’s World slacker grunge culture into the stultifying white collar Office Space of the Matrix and then disappearing from the zeitgeist entirely after 9/11 made Fight Club’s ending sort of real.
As a Genuine Millennial (1986) who works around a lot of Gen X, I don't really perceive much of a difference between us tbh.
We are the "meh" generation -- I'm happy we're overlooked.
