There's always another generation between each one that experiences like half of each in their childhood. That being said, generation has always been an odd way to categorise, in reality it's much more fluid as to what people encounter.
Whoever made this left out the boomers
I mean they weren't having anything similar just sticks and stones and march music
They had Pong.
No they didn't. They had ping-pong.
They had lots of sex, and drugs, and the music revolution, and civil rights protests.

Nope, Pong was a Gen X thing. I know because my Mom bought us one when I was a kid. We were so excited, for all of an hour. Turns out that hitting a square (Yes, it wasn't even a ball.) back and forth across your TV screen wasn't all that exciting. But, now thinking back, it turns out that Pong wasn't an exciting gift from my Mom, but the fact that she was willing to buy it for us because she knew we wanted it, when she was a single working parent raising 4 sons by herself and scrimping to save pennies wherever she could, gives me an appreciation for her that I cherish far more.
The oldest of GenX were 10 in 1975 when Pong came out and just about half of us not even born yet. The perspective would be slightly different for the 7-10 year olds, but the rest of us would not get nor want Pong. We certainly got to play if we had a family member, relative, or friend who had one, but it didn't belong to us. By the time the majority of us was of age to get our own game system, the Atari 2600 ruled.
Nobody from gen Alpha uses X (Formerly Twitter)
No.
Half the stuff you put under GenX should be under millennial
