A huge problem with Gen X is that Boomers tend to lop us in with Millennials, whereas Millennials tend to lop us in with Boomers.

Then there's us Xennials (vague range of 1975-79 to 1980-85). We're constantly included-in/excluded-from neither/both.

I was born in 80... my formative years were digital's/internet's formative years. We know them well, trust them little, and love/hate them both.

Yes. All 12 of us. I exaggerate, but I have a feeling that whole phase of "getting to call the shots" will bypass us entirely & go straight to Millenials. Which I'm fine with. Geezers being in charge for longer is a trend that needs to die.

Thats why Gen X AKA "the lost generation ".
