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?

Here is GenX

41% make up the US House of Representatives 28% make up the US Senate 42% of governors

Some GenXers: Elon Musk Jeff Bezos (squeaked in) Jack Dorsey (Formerly Twitter) Michael Dell (Dell CEO) Satya Nadella (MSFT CEO)

And in 2018, about 40% of F500/Inc500 CEOs were GenX.

So, not missing. We just don’t wear our generational name as a badge. What’s the point?
