The generation that came of age in the peak of the “greed is good” era?

I can't speak for all of Gen X, but speaking for myself and everyone I personally know from my generation: we never liked that shit. That was our parents' bullshit. We just couldn't do anything about it, politically speaking, when we came of age because we were firmly outnumbered by boomers. We still are actually, except now we're also outnumbered by millennials. That's why all the media discussions of this topic are framed as "boomers vs. millennials." Gen X is rendered politically invisible by its comparatively small size.

The product of low birth rates and smaller population size. Birth rates are a little lower now, but from a much larger population.
