What the Fuck happened with Gen X? (self.asklemmy)

All I hear about is "boomers" this, "Millennials" that, "Gen Z" that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

I don’t have good memories of Gen X, just memories as assholes older than me who judged everyone based on what music they listened to and were absolutely assholes if your music wasn’t cool enough.

And you base your opinion of an entire generation on that?

There are good people and bad people in all generations alike. One day you too will be older, and you'll be at the receiving end of undeserved criticism for things you've never said or done because some young dude met someone else the same age as you they didn't like.

You think that's not already happening to millennials? Fuck me, get out more.

Fuck me, get out more.

Which would you prefer? As an X slacker, I only have enough spare "meh" to handle one or the other.

Wait... you're a millennial? Doesn't that mean you're basically a kid? Does this count as grooming? Help, I need an adult!

Typical boomers.
