        As "millenials" are retroactively made younger and younger, gen x is being retroactively made older and older?

        There's no fact-checking the phrase "Generation X," it means whatever the writer wants. Same with "Millennial," except iy also means whatever the reader wants, too.

        Gen X is 65-74. Millennials are 84-99 (I believe).
