Why Gen X is different?

Описание: Why does it so often feel like Gen X is quietly left out of every generational conversation? While Boomers lead discussions and Millennials and Gen Z shape culture, Gen X keeps everything running behind the scenes—steady, capable, and rarely acknowledged.
In this video, we dive into the psychology behind Generation X—their latchkey upbringing, their emotional patterns, and the quiet strength that defines them. You’ll learn why Gen X often feels unseen, why they rarely ask for support, and how their practical adaptability became a stabilizing force in workplaces and families. By the end, you’ll understand the deeper story behind their “silent resilience.”
• Baby Boomers (Born ~1946–1964)
The post–World War II generation, known for growing up during economic expansion, strong institutions, and traditional values.
• Generation X – Gen X (Born ~1965–1980)
Often called the “latchkey generation,” they grew up during social change, rising divorce rates, and early technology—developing independence, adaptability, and a practical mindset.
• Millennials – Gen Y (Born ~1981–1996)
The first generation to grow up with the internet. Known for valuing purpose, connection, flexibility, and self-expression.
