More like The Invisible Millenials. Every generational group is a span of 20 years. The first millenials were born in 1980 like the last Gen Xers were born in 1979. The Gen Xers born during 1960 and 1969 were mostly ignored.
Same with us it wasn't until we were in our 30s that they started attacking the second decade of our generation. This is notable in that those of us in our thirties established the infrastructure of our generation (social media most notably) and our second set gets attacked for using it. and other things we established.
The whole thing is also a marketing categorization that then gets taken over by talking heads to get ratings over how this particular generation is "da worst"
The reason the first set of us don't directly get this treatment is that in ur 20s the Gen Xers were still thirty something. Now they're reaching middle age and want to feel they were never like us.
