I don't even understand this one. It's this a thing for Gen x? I feel like Gen x is more known for complacency.

Exactly, just watch early 90s Simpson's older teenagers, meh. That summed up gen x in a lot of media.

That's just a side effect from the belief that nothing important was fixable because the interests that kept them that way were too entrenched.
