The reason that Generation X thought they were first was because their Godfather Ronald Reagan demonized the Baby-Boomer Generation calling them "unconscious agents of the devil".
Generation X were also patronized by corporate plutocrats and billionaires* through the media outlets they owned.
Thus they were the "most favored nation" and the Baby-Boomers were last because of their left-leaning politics.
But to be first in the world is not to be first before God.
"'many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.'". Matthew 19:30 (NRSV)
(*Reagan's allies.)
