    This might work but on the other hand, the brand name “X” doesn’t have a nice ring for the younger generation unlike TikTok or even Vine. “X” is so… Gen X…(sorry, boomer for the young 'uns for everything before 2010).

      Gen X is not boomers. Gen X is the “lost generation” which is ironic considering the context here. They were between boomers and millennials, and are typically the parents of millennials and some gen z.

        If they are parents of millennials, then only of the youngest I think. I am an older millennial (born 1986) and my parents are 65 and 71 (thus being “boomers”).
