No. Gen X weren’t parents until the internet was more or less in every household already and they aren’t as prone to misinformation as boomers (though certainly not immune).
Gen x absolutely were parents at the beginning of the internet. The earlier gen X were in their 20's when the world wide web was demonstrated so were the parents of the first children who were born into it.
The oldest gen X were 30 by 1995. The vast majority were not even old enough to be parents. By 2000 the oldest were 35 the youngest 20.
Nah gen X were there too. My point still stands and I guess you just have something to argue against older folk. Have a great rest of the week.
