    I think the original nickname was the Baby Bust Generation, as birth rates severely tanked following the Baby Boom period of ‘45 - ‘65.

    As a result, they never out numbered the preceding generation, and were pretty quickly overtaken in population by Millennials/Gen Y (kids of Boomers).

    Basically, the reason they’re ignored is because they never had sufficient power to make as drastic an impact on society as their surrounding generations.
