    None of these were ignored when they were very young, so listing Gen Z as an option is kinda off to begin with. Most of these were not ignored when they were in the peak of their adult years.

    The real answer is, of course, Gen X.

      I mean, they kind of were though. There’s a very distinct difference between being “heard, but still ignored” and actually “helped”. A big chunk of the “help” that younger generations have gotten was basically virtue signalling while the foundations of their needs were gutted under them. Look at the state of education. From no child left behind onward it was excuse after excuse to cut funding and support all in the guise of “for the kids”. Extra testing so we can ensure kids get good grades! Also we will cut funds if you don’t meet standards. New education guidelines so no students miss vital skills! Also we can cut those expensive life skills programs. It happened across the board and hit each generation just a little more.
