Is anybody able to explain why GenX gets so few years (less than half as many as the "greatest generation") compared to the other generations?
That's a good question. Maybe because you guys are kind of lumped into that awkward cultural stage between Boomers and Millennials?
Like, you're old enough to be considered a Boomer, but not old enough to take responsibility for every goddamn short-term-thinking Boomer fckup that's been done.
It's also because 1976-77 is an unusually early date for the Gen-X/Millennial transition. Experts are not in complete agreement as to the correct date, but the Pew Research Center is one of the most frequently cited authorities on the statistics of the generations, and they put the transition at 1980-1981. That gives Gen-X 16 years, the same as the Millennials.
