At one point the distinction between Gen X and Gen Y was defined as which side of the end of WW2 one's parents were born on (within reason) which would make Gen Y children of boomers, and Gen X not children of boomers.
My 6th grade teacher (in the early 80's) asked our class once which of us thought that the world would end in nuclear armageddon, and all of us raised our hands. I mention this as it's likely a baseline for how Gen X'ers view the state of the world.
