Gen 'x' was labled Gen x because at the time, it defied categorising:
Its was ambiguous, an unknown variable.
Before that there was:
The Lost Generation,
The Interbellum Generation
The Great Generation,
The Silent Generation,
Baby Boomers...
(Generation X, sometimes called the forgotten generation, but it didn't really stick)
Then there was ...
Xennials
Millenials
iGen
Now The ipad Generarion or The Covid Generation
...."gen x", "forgotten"....and they wonder why they dont give a fuck.
They were taught everyone else had a 'right' - they just had to "deal with it", "toughen up".
Some have carried that with them: they care for their parents, they care for their adult kids, they care for their job...trained to put themselves last.
Some learnt "fuck that - im 50, ill finally bleedin' care for myself".
And we still don't fit, still dont have a name, and couldnt care less about it.
