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?

I was talking about the dot-com technology of 30 years ago, not the 8-bit microchip technology of ~50 years ago.
