Generation X has received short shrift since birth.

Generation Xer’s are the roughly 46 odd million people born between 1965–1978 (or 1965 — 1980) depending on source.

Baby Boomers — +-75 million people, while Millennials are a huge generation at almost double Gen X — -83 million.

I do not have to explain those generations’ actual year span demographics. Enough ink spilled there.

Society has dismissed the fact Generation X was first AND last for lots of shit.

All while patiently awaiting their turn to be in charge. Then, not so patiently waiting.

Waiting, waiting, while still sneering at those Boomers. Their parent’s generation.
