Not following what is being asked. I'm reading this as a critique of both Boomers and capitalism.
Since my parents (one silent gen and one boomer) were poor, I knew I wasn't inheriting anything so it's not as though I was on the side lines watching Millennial relatives inheriting a pot of gold. I don't know if Boomer money is skipping over Gen X to younger generations. If so, from what I can tell, younger generations need the help.
Don't know what "lose you own gen" means. Gen X, a generation supposedly marked by the traits of indifference and detachment, really wouldn't have a unified sense of identity to lose. I'm on this sub for the nostalgia. Not because I'm trying to cultivate generational solidarity in the wake of generation whoever-is-despised-the-most-right-now.

An entire Generation can be lost. Case-in-point: The Lost Generation. By being loyal to their country, and fighting bravely to defend it, they lost their own gen.
Consoles serve as an interesting analogue, as it turns out. The Dreamcast, by coming out of the gate strong with a litany of top-tier exclusives, had its fate all but sealed. By checking all of the boxes which ensure console success, Sega signed its own death warrant. Gen X, in a similar fashion, worked its way into the poorhouse, or the morgue in some cases. All of those opioids started being prescribed to hard-working Gen-Xers with back problems. These back problems were made worse by the great recession. Prescriptions understandably spiked, and with it, the death rate. Hard-working Gen Xers have been dying deaths of despair, similar to that of the Dreamcast.
