I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.

After trying and failing to reach them for comment, we finally heard from them. They just told us "whatever, man."

Gen X: you pussies should have been around in the 70's and 80's

We have a stronger survivorship bias than the following gens, but we also sucked on leaded gas fumes for a while when our brains were still developing.

So anyway, whatever.

Gen X had it's Part in Memes and grew up. Like tech savvy boomers, Generation X seems predominantly stuck in the middle tier of the career ladder, overshadowed by their Boomer parents. However, they maintain a benevolent and generous attitude toward younger generations. They are fully aware that they will likely never own property, and having children is a significant risk. This painful realization hit them some time ago, hence their sense of empathy. The later you're born, the more pain you inherit.

You realise Gen Xers are all in the 40-65 age bracket now, right? Nearly all way beyond the deciding-on-children age. And heaps of them own property (at least where I live).

We will age and die in our office chairs, and our Zalpha children will burn our bodies to fuel their air conditioners. We will finally find our purpose. Don't worry about us: we are content enough.

Or just get some more decades to marinate in hatred.

I am a middle child in the generational equivalent of a middle child.

We've been around for like sixty years now. If we were milk we would have developed culture. But we're not so we didn't.

Tony Hawk is the best Gen Xer, and dude's chill AF.

GenX what's that, a new shoe coming out?

[–] AllYourSmurf 6 points 14 hours ago

Shh! We don’t want them to notice us.

We are too busy getting shit done to worry about the idiots.
