More like the kids can’t tell old people apart. They’ve been binning Gen-X into the Boomer category. Old is Boomer to them.
I’m sure they would label some older Millennials as Boomers too. Especially since social media has distorted everyone’s perception of physical appearance. Even millennials are struggling with coming to grips with aging.
Gen-X wasn’t forgotten. There’s the technical definition of generations. Then there’s the pop culture / meme definition of generations. In pop culture there’s only Boomer, Millennial, and Zoomer. Which vaguely goes as old, 20-30 something, and teenager. Gen-X was “forgotten” into the Boomer category.

I’m 39, and Lemmy has informed me that I’m a “boomer”. Apparently “it’s a mindset!” or something.

But I love my wife. I wouldn’t have married her if I didn’t.
