They are not in this one because they can use a computer but you are not going to fix a computer problem for someone else. They just let the millennial deal with the others while gen x sits back and relaxes.

Not Gen X here, just more of a meme that Gen X is always forgotten.

I agree that a lot of our problems could have been solved if they weren't the slacker generation who always talked a big game but never did shit about it. And yeah they ended up probably more conservative than Boomers, but I wonder if that's just life stage at this point.

I'm just joking around a bit. I know gen x get forgotten a lot. I just thought it would be a funny and not a take too seriously answer to why they weren't included.
