To Millennials and Z, Gen-X is indistinguishable from Boomers - it's all 'old people,' where old is anyone over 45.

I definitely don't see gen X as anywhere close to boomers. Especially on the Internet. Gen X is much more technically literate than their predecessors.

Side note: writing the vague generalized names for entire generations makes me want to vomit. Although the majority of boomers definitely do seem to adhere to the "I got mine fuck you and yours" mentality that completely disregards the context that different generations live and grow up in, there were awesome boomers who were anti war, anti capitalist, and down with free love and expression. Just like on the flip side there are shitty right wing millennials and even gen Zers now out there trolling and even believing the vile shit that gets spewed onto social media.

To Gen Z, millennials are boomers. I've been called one a lot in online games and social interactions (especially vrchat).

This makes me sad. But its probably true.

As a millennial I find genx cool. Probably a lot of that is because of the music

That's a pretty general brush to paint millenials with, considering we are pushing 40 or a couple years in to our 40's already.

Nah. I’m on the older end of the millenial bracket and half my friends are gen X.
