The dates are fuzzy, because generations are more cultural than clinical.

If person born in 1984 grew up thinking "I could get a good job but what's the point" and worried about nuclear war constantly, they might ID as genX.

Millennials: “I could work forever and die with nothing, the environments going to kill us all painfully, but fuck it memes”

Yes, genX is kind of characterized by 'boomer class betrayal' apathy, growing up in the reggae/punk/goth and oldskool hiphop music era, and Pong to Quake gaming.
