Gen X rules because we were raised with the moral code, values, and work ethics of the Baby Boomers and we understand technology; it’s benefits as well as how it is instrumental in our demise.

Hard to tell.
Definitely past generations proved much more stable whereas now, in today's generation, mass killing and psychopaths roam the lands in the numbers like they do today is unparalleled in modern era.

Probably not that one. Whichever it is.

Boomers.
We fought for - and gained some - human rights.
It went all downhill from there on. ;-)
I'm a boomer, answering as an American. I think that I was born at the optimal time, so I'll have to give the nod to the generation or two that preceded mine and made that world possible, especially the Greatest Generation:
- The Greatest Generation (born 1901–1927)
- The Silent Generation (born 1928–1945)
- Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964)
- Generation X (born 1965–1980)
- Millennials (born 1981–1995)
- Generation Z (born 1996–2010)
- Generation Alpha (born 2011–2025)
I sometimes wonder how it gets decided, since I notice that the number of years attributed to each generation is different. The Greatest Generation spans 26 years, while the Silent Generation is 17 years, and the Boomers are 18 years. As I was born in late 1963, I'm thinking I could just as easily be Generation X - and I tend to identify more with that generation than with the Boomers.
Apart from that, I've always thought it was rather silly to compare which generation is better or best. Every generation has a mixed bag of heroes and villains - along with a whole lot of others who are in between.

My generation, coz its got me in it.
The generation that was around when Jesus was on the earth, because they got to see Him in person.
Ooh I wanna see the Buddha. The Enlightened One in his time!
The Greek generation.
Don't mind me if I don't join wholeheartedly in what I tend to see as a futile discussion, given that I can't really assign especial value to any particular generation, and given that as to such they have to deal with the conditions within which they find themselves, chosen or not. And often as not, perhaps not being able to fully place themselves in the lives of those preceding them, even their own parents. Given it is often the parents that tend to influence or initiate much of that which happens in the lives of their offspring. So I am not likely to be judgmental towards any particular generation. My father had to endure two world wars, one as a child, and a leaving school age of 14 or even younger, so he tends to get a pass for what he might have had to endure in his life.
Interestingly, some of the great rockers of the 60s were actually from the Slient Generation (1927-1945), not the Boomers.
So, when The Who was singing "My Generation," they were talking about the Silent Generation - yet The Who was pretty loud.
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were also part of the Silent Generation.

That would have been something.... Now all we can do is see Jesus in movies.

Yeah, but they have become a bit silent in recent time. Though, according to the bible, some of them must still be around.

I'd be happy in a smokey bar room playing low stakes pool and eating fried food cooked in beef tallow in the seventies.
Life was good for awhile and things tasted great.

The eighties were terrible. Commonly referred to as the "me generation". Horrible hair, artificial music..
Things were in downfall but it really took a massive tumble to what we have today.
