It could be the next Idealist generation that has some recognition of X for leaving behind a better world than they inherited, and for not demanding too much to make the world good for the new Idealists. 

Xers haven't done much yet to clean up the problems of this saeculum. The problems of this saeculum are not due to silents and boomers who neglected them as children. The problems are due to all the generations who neglected the heritage of the New Deal and threw it over to embrace the neo-liberalism of Ronald Reagan. The Xers grew up under this and embraced it, and did not work to stop it. That is up to the millennials now. Xers failed, and Boomers failed too, although at least many boomers in youth caught a vision of a better day. And recently, a certain millennial sang about it.

Some of the boomers and Xers can still get up and help lead the millennials in this task; the saeculum still has 10 rocky years to run yet. The Crisis climax still ahead may yet bring out the best in all 3 generations.
