Maria: I'm Gen Y, and totally supportive of Gen X -- I remember throughout my childhood and adolescence, the days when Xers were mistreated by Boomers (and the Silent Generation), much the same way Millennials are currently mistreated today.

Xers, Milliennials, and Zoomers could be a powerful force, in the present, if we all united together (while helping to make life much better for the currently-youngest Alpha generation).
