Boomers in 1988 were the only coherently identified generation outside of WW2 veterans. They were also called the “Me generation” too.
I’d also point to the “yuppie” phenomenon. Newspapers back then could not stop writing about yuppies coming to destroy property values and how suburbs would all die. It was actually pretty similar to the accusations that millennials kill various industries.

The yuppies in the late ‘80s in their mid-late 20s would have been largely gen Xers.
WTF (what the fortnite?) Based boomers?!?!?!
