Actually, I'm going to go deeper than that. Very little media stuff beside some music is actually still talked about that's boomery. We mostly talk about the history and other stuff. Even then, it's war based things and then BOOM, gen X. Y'all get a LOT

Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, classic rock as a genre, 60s bubblegum rock, 70s yacht rock, disco, etc. were all boomer stuff and it's still being used in films and ads and all over the radio.

As a Gen-Xer, I don't think 80s metal or grunge or rave or new wave ever got fellated by critics in quite the same way that "classic" rock did.

That's a damn lie.

I definitely think isn't true.

I agree that Gen X music doesn't have the same sense of historical destiny around it that boomer music does. Gen X doesn't think that they invented and perfected music, the way that boomers do, and the whole attitude that the 1960s were a golden age of perfection doesn't really exist with Gen X music. But those things aren't really things that music critics believe. Those are pretty much just things that baby boomers themselves believe, not really part of any critical apparatus or consensus.

And when it comes to actual music critics and snobs, those guys love all of the gen X music and are willing to talk about it endlessly, and even mythologize it. That's definitely true of new wave, rave and grunge/alternative rock.

(also, talking about this is confusing for several reasons. first, that's because the actual artists making music during a period are usually older than the people confusing it. the people responsible for making most of the music associated with baby boomers were from the silent generation. Dylan, the Stones, the Beatles, Hendrix, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane - all of those are emphatically silent generation acts. Their members were born between 1940 and 1945. Baby boomers did not make any of those groups' music. Similarly, the people who started new wave were overwhelmingly baby boomers, not gen Xers. so associating all of this stuff with a specific generation is complicated. second, the ways that we actually draw generational lines is arbitrary and in my view often wrong. so the whole thing is a mess. but these are the terms that are familiar so I guess we have to use them)
