I think a couple years later, they posted one that included us. As a fellow GenX noted, this kind of erasure is totally on brand for us.

Yeah, it’s fine. Birth rates were just above 2 per woman for a couple decades before dropping again to current levels, but with a larger population there are still more births happening than in the 1970s. That decade, low birth rates combined with a smaller population resulted in a small number of GenX members. I am totally OK with continuing to fly under the radar.
