[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I remember being a teen in the 90s and seeing a lot of media coverage of the "slacker generation" (Generation X).  Now nobody says anything about Generation X: it is all about the Special Snowflake generation.  What happened?[/quote]

Those that called you slackers were your parents and grandparents generation. They retired and you assumed the throne and the role of complaining about the spoiled younger generation and the selfish and clueless generation before you, ignoring your faults and focusing on the good aspects.

It's what everyone does. Well not everyone I think yours is the first generation to complain about not being noticed enough.   The cycle will continue. You generation will be replaced  the  generation after you will complain about how selfish and clueless you were and the damage you caused the planet and economy and rant about how spoiled the generation after them is.

That's probably right.  Not sure I'm Generation X, though: I was born in 1980.  [/quote]

I've heard differing things about at what birth year exactly Gen X ends & the millennial generation begins. Some say it's 1980, others say 82 &, before the term "millennials" was coined, Gen X was supposed to end in 1977 (those born after '77 --or maybe it was in "77 or later -- were called "Gen Y" back then). I've also read a couple of articles that claim those of us born between roughly 1976 & 1982 don't really fit in with either generation & are kind of our own micro-generation. So who knows.
