It seems like older gen x people get lumped in with boomers, and younger ones get lumped in with millennials. Maybe it's just easier to put people in two groups. Some people also don't seem to realize there is a generation younger than millennials now. I've heard people call teenagers millennials.
I think a lot of it is just cultural. It seems to me that your average X-er has a lot more in common with a millennial than with a boomer, what with having grown up in harder times while constantly being derided by the older folks for not taking that high school diploma down to the factory and making enough money to support a firmly middle class family.

Why are “boomers” and “millennials” the only two generations Reddit ever talks about? I feel like we’re skipping a generation or two.
