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?

Switch a millennial to a CLI or ask them to understand underlying technologies or networking and watch the difference between them and xennials for example.

Digital native means they learned how to click next.
