Well like it says in the sidebar, we're the Meh Generation so, I suppose, meh!

Seriously though, I'm not bothered. If anything it's to our credit that we've never done anything bad enough to make us despised by the young'uns.

I'll be glad if we never reach the point of being blamed for everything like boomers.

We were forgotten the second we were given the moniker of Gen X, only ever to be mentioned by our own. People talk about Boomers, Millennials, and Zoomers. It's fine. Not like it matters in any measurable way.

I was planning on saying, "whatever" to this... but seeing the creepazoids pasted onto this community's banner makes me feel like I should rather be apologizing to those who came after.
