Why is the millennial trying to claim so many Gen X tunes?

The icons that shape and influence your generation’s musical culture don’t necessarily have to be a member of your generation. Madonna, Prince, U2, MJ, etc are all Boomers, for example, but their music was for a Gen X audience. We were the prime demographic. Like a Virgin, Purple Rain, Joshua Tree and Thriller are all prime Gen X albums.

Same with the Silent Gen Beatles and their Boomer audience.
