What the Fuck happened with Gen X? (lemmy.world)

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?

It's a western perspective. And of course it is. How many people of the sovjetbloc do you think are around here? I thought about this for a second and dismissed it because it's with a 99% chance not relevant to the one asking here.

But still, thank you for providing this perspective, it is like you say, I just didn't think it was relevant to this question in this place we're in.
