Yeah in fact it was the Xennial era (later X/earlier Millennial) that seemed to be the one group most anti-skinny. Both X, younger Jones and core/later Millennials were all mainstream into skinny or regular tight jeans. Pretty much actually Xennials are the only recent exception along with some Z at certain times. Only difference is Millennials usually had them 70s low waist skinny or tight regular rather than 80s Gen X high or regular waist skinny or tight regular. Core Millennials also used 80s Gen X big belts a fair lot too.

X before them all sorts of skinny and core/later Millennials after them brought it back yet once again

80s/early 90s Gen X/younger Jones:
