Why do writers skip GenX when writing about generations? It happens all the time.
This article on quiet quitting completely ignores Gen X. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/2022-in-review/the-year-in-quiet-quitting |

| GenX is used to being overlooked and ignored. It’s a thing. A meme, even. |

Most social commentary on any recent generation is negative. As a GenXer, I’m happy not to be mentioned much at all. Better to
Be Generation Incognito than Generation Overexposure. |

Even if this is true, I’m sick of hearing people say it. Who cares? |

| Gen X is a significantly smaller generation than Boomers or Millennials. Naturally the larger groups are louder and have a greater societal impact. |

Tell that to our boy, Elon. |

We already voted to kick him out. He can be a boomer. |

They didn’t build or create anything of note. Why would anyone assign undue relevance to them?
Boomers had major contributions to the world, some good and far more bad. Millennials will end up literally SAVING the world. X’rs didn’t do anything. So they never get mentioned. |
