Because Generation X labelled the Baby-Boomers loose and reinforced the older generation's moral condemnation of their enemies.
And because they had one foot in the devil's corner.
We were presented with the unlikely phenomenon of a good devil.
Despite the fact that this is a contradiction of terms they persisted and insisted on it.
They were declaring themselves good by default.
And this despite the fact that they called themselves bad.
Sex was bad.
A bad attitude was approved of.
And bad was good.
And despite the fact that this makes no sense at all it was reinforced by intimidation and violence - verbal, emotional, psychic, and spiritual.
But the fact remains that Generation X turned to hatred and the devil to win worldly privilege and power.
History will decide their fate.
