I’ve heard you called the Forgotten Generation or the Lost Generation. 
The Lost Generation is actually the British name for the generation of men lost to WWI. So many didn’t come back and those that did were maimed, disabled, missing limbs, had their faces blasted off, and suffered “shell shock,” severe PTSD. The birth rate plunged for nearly a decade because of the men who did return, many were unfit for work, marriage, a family. So many went home, into seclusion and died young. 
Gen X is more or less forgotten coming on the tails of the Baby Boomers and were quickly replaced by the Millennials.  
The Boomers should be divided in two sections, 1946-1953, 1954-1964.

2). The “inside” generation, we are the first generation to be raised mostly indoors so we have no clue about certain realities.
This doesn't resonate with me. I'm sure each generation has been outdoors less and less, but if there's a cliff, I don't think it's Gen X.

It doesn't resonate with me either.  I remember being free to walk or bus most places.  I was hardly ever home and there were no tracking devices.  My parents knew my general location and if I was going to change it I had to find a pay phone or a friend's home phone to let them know.  My children (Gen Z and Alpha) don't want to go anywhere.  It is a strange difference. :cowboy:

We left the house in the morning on our bikes and didn't come home til supper.  Parents had no idea where we were all day.  And I never told them either.
