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 kids (not that you have to be a kid to watch it, but that’s the most likely audience). So there is a time overlap of Gen X kids and Dragonball.
Just musing over that particular thing. I feel it’s safe to say it’s generally outside of Gen X culture.

Replace the dragon balls with a magic lamp and the joke still works the same.
