Finally someone is shedding light on this issue. I feel a growing resentment toward boomers, they won't retire, they won't die, so you can't move up, and y'ers are coveted by the media, were stuck in the middle, like the middle child who gets no love.

We're not just coveted by the media, there's also marketing. Gen X is sandwiched between those of us younger than 25 or so, and the boomers, who outnumber them. So, nobody hires you Xers, and no one wants to sell you anything.
