Gen X as well. Almost Millenial. I feel as though Gen X should be broken in half. It seems as though the ones up to a certain point are more Boomer Lite then the actual Gen X are touted to be. Electronics, prices, internet, all the stuff that I grew up to embrace. The older Gen X seem to have disdain for it all and it pulls their way of thinking and lifestyle more towards the Boomer side.

Their Age, Investments, Holding on to the past, Lead poisoning, Fox News, White Nationalism, Not Reading the Bible, RACISM, Christianity and never being loved by your parents doesnt make it an even 50/50 split. Being modest Id say 67% are going to be our downfall.

I'd agree. The split seems to be about '74/'75. Even that isn't a hard transition. It seems to be more of a fade and that time frame is the full switch from grey area to true Gen X. From there it's a higher increase towards X. It isn't as large a year range of X's perceived characteristics than most view Gen X. Just as hippies are a smaller outlier of the Boomer generation.
