>Most kids born in the 60s are not a boomer or genX. A forgotten bunch.
All kids born in the 60s are either boomers or genX. Because boomers are right next to genx, they're consecutive.
You can easily argue that they didn't start naming Gen X until Nirvana, and the oldest Gen X had graduated from high school 10 years before Nevermind was released. The Beatles on Ed Sullivan was 1964, Nirvana was 1991. 27 years separate those 2. Generations are 18 years long. If we were going to say that GenX started in 1982, culturally, that would mean that our cultural touchstones were pretty weak. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Bon Jovi. No one wrote a story saying "wow, these young folks are called Generation X, and they like corporate plastic crap, what it is that we're selling them"
I should point out that a bunch of the stuff that you're saying sounds about accurate. There just wasn't any Beatles at the Ed Sullivan in 1983 that we were able to identify as something that was part of a new generation, with a name. It took 8 years to get to Nirvana and the Gen X name.
