The thing most people don’t realize about GenX is that we didn’t even have a name for ourselves until most of us were out of high school.
The term “Generation X” was used occasionally in various contexts since the 1950s but it wasn’t until 1991 that Douglas Coupland’s book of that title cemented “Generation X” as our generation’s label.
So while y’all were born into your labels, we lived nameless for decades. Which might be why we’re so often overlooked now.
