Born in 1979, I am too old to be millennial, where is my generation?

I am too old to be Millennial, yet really too young to be a true Gen Xer. So where do we fit in? It's like everyone forgot about us. I have more in common with people born in the early 1980s, than I do someone born in 1970.

around 1975 to 1985 is a "silent" generation in Italy also.

they are probably those that were screwed the most by the 2008 Financial crisis

By American standards you are part of Gen X (the younger part of it).

To prove my point:

A 2010 Census report counted approximately 84 million people living in the U.S. who are defined by birth years ranging from the early 1960s to the early 80s
The Harvard Center uses 1965 to 1984 to define Gen X
Jon Miller at the Longitudinal Study of American Youth at the University of Michigan wrote that "Generation X refers to adults born between 1961 and 1981"
In their 1991 book "Generations" authors and demographers Neil Howe and William Strauss, used 1961 to 1981

Yeah, start acting like someone of your generation.

No issues there, but back to my point, why is Generation X overlooked? They never talk about us ever. It's always either Baby Boomers or Millennials.

Maybe you guys need to make more noise so the world talks about Gen X

Late Gen Xers like myself are completely forgotten. I guess we didn't do anything. The core Gen Xers developed Google and start up companies. People my age came later and we just got lazy. I guess our laziness gave birth to the Millennialls that followed.
