My parents are (early) Gen X. In general I don’t think you are transparent or ignored. I’m not saying this isn’t your case though.
I appreciate my parents and even though they are “outdated” on some stuff, I value them immensely. For instance, if it wasn’t for my dad I likely would never have gotten into omputers. And that would’ve led me not have my current job (probably). I owe everything to them.
In fact, in my country at least (not US), I’m pretty sure Boomers + Gen X make up the majority of the voting power due to declining birth/death rates.
(These stats are 100% pulled out of my ass, so they can very well be wrong.)
So, if anything you’re the ones who hold more power (again, in my country at least).
What I’m trying to say is, things aren’t as black and white as this stupid memes make them seem.
We’re all collectively messed up somehow. :)
Nice theory, but as the parent of a teenager, younger generations don’t tend to think highly of their elders no matter what. It’s kind of human nature. I predict that Millennials and Gen Z will absolutely be disliked by the generations afterwards, just as Boomers and Gen X are disliked by Millennials and Gen Z. For that matter, love Gen Z all you want, Millennials, just don’t expect it to return the favor. Every generation thinks it’s better than the ones that came before. Ever heard of hippies? Yeah, they were gonna save the world from everyone over 30. Now we just call them Boomers.
I judge it by the fact that young people tend to blame their elders for the problems in the world. The only way to really know what will happen is to wait and see I suppose!
I wonder if in the future, millennials and gen z will become the new boomers and gen X.
That will make me kinda sad. I just hope we don’t go down the same path…
I don’t know, I’m an X, we don’t really exist anywhere, we are transparent and ignored in societies.

I don’t think so. Generations that actually struggle end up being good to the next generation. IE the greatest generation
It’s the entitled cunts that got everything handed to them that turn into massive assholes. IE Boomers

I’m not talking about teenagers. You can’t judge generations based on your experience with your kid.
I’m talking the overall trend of the population en masse. Those that know the struggle are more empathetic than those who never struggle.

You won’t, you’re all perfect of course! All the best commercials tell you so, to say nothing of the most reliable source, one another!
