    I think Gen X usually just gets lumped in with boomers

        Well now that I don’t think about it, was X really ever a generation? Or was it really just a product of some really weird marketing? I feel like 75 years from now, “Gen X” is gonna wind up on a watchmojo video of “The Top 10 Generations That Never Actually Existed”

          From GenX onwards they’re all marketing terms.

          Normally generations were only distinguished after some kind of geo political event, like first world war, or when the birth rate was exceptionally high.

          Now we pre-name generations so marketing teams can segment people into target groups.
