This made me wonder, since the TV series came out a long time ago. Generation X ended ~1980. The original Dragon Ball series started in 1986. So there are Gen X that were kids (not that you have to be a kid to watch it, but that’s the most likely audience) when it aired.
Just musing over that particular thing. I feel it’s safe to say it’s generally outside of Gen X culture.
I’m firmly a millennial and know dragonball from the version where the Pig guy wishes for underwear at the end
I have no problem believing gen xers were too old for the dragonball I remember and the later ones on cartoon network or wherever.

Gen X is usually at least aware of it, though. At least the gen X people I know are.
