The smallest, most overlooked, neglected, and forgotten generation in the 20th century. All of them as of this writing are between
40 and 60 years old and their
children are mostly late-wave Millennials and early wave Z’ers. The core X’ers were
children in the 1970’s and teenagers in the 1980’s. They were the most cynical and self-sufficient growing up and the last generation raised without political correctness, overprotective
parents, stranger danger, mollycoddling, and homosexuality unacceptable in most of American society. They were the first generation to become tech-savvy and enjoy music videos on
MTV.To this day, few of them are running society and the Baby Boomers are still dominating the corporate and political landscape despite being of retirement age.
