I think every generation has myths it tells about itself. This is why older people are often upset that "Boomer" is now so frequently used a pejorative; it was the generation that famously said never to trust anyone over 30, and now they're the people folks under 30 definitively do not trust.
As someone coming right at the end of it, I do feel like Gen X has a lot of myths about itself that it tells and I am never entirely sure if it believes them or not.
I think it's also because it points out their hypocrisy in blaming everything bad on Millennials like we're not ALSO above 30, have kids, and make up a large portion of the US demos.
